IVHS-Organizational Structure and Staffing
Continuing technology advances in IVHS present challenges that many states are unable to meet with their current staffs. Only a few states have recognized the need to plan the need to...
Cooperation and Competitiveness in IVHS
This paper is an attempt to understand the competitive aspects involved in the implementation of IVHS technologies worldwide. IVHS concepts and products are envisaged in similar ways in...
Optimal Strategy Within a Traffic Control Center
This paper describes part of a new Central Traffic Control System (CTCS), implemented in several sites in Europe, and recently in Haifa, Israel. The CTCS effected in Haifa contains enhanced...
Traffic Mark Classification Using Artificial Neural Networks
A system using artificial neural networks to identify types of pavement marks and to rank their recognizabilities is proposed.The system stores different types of traffic marks; associates...
Univeral System Architecture ? Based on European Field Trials
From the ongoing major IVHS/RIT operational field tests in Europe and taking into account the results of the 3 years Berlin field trial LISB it can be assumed that the winning communications...
Transit Signal Priority Treatments in the Puget Sound Region
This paper documents work which has been done in the Puget Sound region toward developing a region wide signal priority treatment. The study results documented herein were accomplished...
Twelve Keys to Improved IVHS Evaluations
Evaluation plays an important role in the development of credible information on intelligent vehicle-highway system (IVHS) performance. In December 1992, a national workshop was held to...
Simulation-Based Training for Transportation Management Center (TMC) Operators
Effective simulation-based training for Transportation Management Center (TMC) operators enables operators to make the best use of their TMC and thereby to improve the efficiency and safety...
A Simulation and Data Management Environment for Off-Line Testing of IVHS Technologies and Strategies
CA is engaged in a rapidly expanding statewide effort to test and deploy advanced traffic management and traveller information systems to mitigate congestion and increase mobility. To...
IVHS and the Law of Privacy
The development of Intelligent Vehicles Highway System (IVHS) technologies has expanded the opportunities for surveillance and instructions upon personal privacy. This paper briefly examines...
Genesis ? Information on the Move
The access to enhanced real-time travel information is widely accepted as one of the cornerstones of any intelligent highway system. In the majority if IVHS programs currently underway...
European Consensus Formation and Standardisation in the Area of Road Transport and Traffic Telematics
In Europe ATT-implementation projects are run both by PROMETHEUS (EUREKA) and DRIVE (Commission of the European Communities). Many of these projects are urban and inter-urban field trials...
IVHS: Applications in Freight and Trucking Operations
This paper discusses the application of IVHS technology to freight and trucking activities. It is argued that because commercial vehicle operators perceive real benefits from IVHS, they...
Driver Response to Fog Conditions ? An Intelligent Approach
The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) on NSW is currently examining options for replacing its Driver Aid System on the F6 Tollway south of Sydney. On this road drivers are affected by...
Strategic Updating of Autonomous Route Guidance Systems for Air Quality Management
The work in this paper stems from applied research which is implemented as part of the QUARET project. QUARET is a major initiative by four European Community cities. Athens, Birmingham,...
An Integrated Route Assignment and Traffic Simulation System with a Massively Parallel Computing Architecture
This research presents two critical issues in the development of an integrated route assignment and traffic simulation system of ATMS-ATIS applications. The first issue addresses the conceptual...
Simulation of the Dynamic Traffic Flow on Urban Road Network
Methods of performing dynamic traffic assignment are needed to simulate traffic conditions on urban highways during peak periods of congestion. In this paper, the route choice behavior...
Establishing a Human Factors Focus and Approach for North Carolina's IVHS Efforts
The paper discusses the behavioral and human factors issues associated with the development and operation of North Carolina's CARAT program (Congestion Avoidance and Reduction for Autos...
Detection of Incidents and Traffic Disturbances in Freeways
This research aims to develop methods for detecting incidents and compression waves through simulation. The detection methods are based on a macroscopic traffic flow model that focuses...
Digital Mapping for Road Navigation in Japan
In Japan, more than 300,000 vehicles are presently equipped with car navigation systems. Development of these systems had been greatly aided by the completion of a standardized digital...
