CADD?Database Application for Facility Inspections
In 1989, the Sverdrup Corporation was hired to perform the Comprehensive Inspection of the Queens-Midtown and Brooklyn-Battery tunnels in New York City. From the onset of the project it...

Automated Analysis of Pavement Distress Data
A system model that can be used for the analysis of pavement distress data collected by various visual devices (e.g. photographic film) is presented. The models operate at two levels:...

An Application of Expert Systems to Traffic Signal Control
Signal Control at Isolated Intersections (SCII) has been developed to emulate an adaptive controller using AI technology. It is an application of expert systems to the real-time traffic...

Advanced Software Design and Standards for Traffic Control
Improved traffic traffic management and control systems are widely reported to be cost effective investments [Neudorff 88, Kessmann 85]. However, many hardware and software obstacles have...

Error Rate Measurements of RDS-FM Transmissions Application to an RDS-Beacon
The Radio Data System is now commonly implemented on many European VHF-FM broadcasting transmitters. RDS provides for the transmission of a silent data channel on existing VHF-FM radio...

Fiber Optic Communication Systems for Freeway Traffic Management
The communication requirements of freeway traffic management systems (FTMS) can be effectively met by systems which utilize fiber optic cables and associated equipment. This paper discusses...

Traffic Control System on the Hanshin Expressway

Safety of IVHS: Methods for Determination of Accident Levels for AVCS-1 Devices
This paper discusses ways in which the safety impact of Intelligent Vehicle/Highway Systems (IVHS) devices can be estimated by interpreting existing statistics. This is needed at many...

Design for IVHS Safety: Technology Assessment
The development of an Intelligent Vehicle/Highway System (IVHS) will require methodologies for predicting and controlling system safety. In principle, these methodologies should include...

Taming the Silicon Steed?Perceptions of Risk
This paper draws from contemporary research in the psychological literature to argue that transportation engineers and decision makers should consider the issue of perceived risk when...

Exploring Headsup Displays for Driver Workload Management in Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems
New transportation system provide more information to drivers to improve their effectiveness in tasks like routing, avoiding congestion. We are examining the headsup displays as means...

Infrared Detector Developments
Modern road transport systems rely on information from sensors to operate safely and efficiently. The sensors are typically used to provide vehicle counting, occupancy, speed measurement...

The California Inductive Loop Radio Demonstration Project
There is growing interest at both the national and international level in the application of new technologies to the highway system. While many of these new technologies are revolutionary...

The Contribution of Dynamic Route Guidance and Information Systems to More Efficient Traffic Management
The environmental and traffic-related problems expected as a result of the continued increase in motorization require new solutions if our towns and cities are to survive and their attractiveness...

Individual Traffic Information and Route Guidance from RDS-TMC Until Beacon Communication
A complete system of traffic management consisting of both collective and individual components is described. As a result of German and European initiatives problems, a system introduction...

Dynamic Route Guidance?The Drive Project CAR-GOES
The DRIVE project CAR-GOES has studied strategies for integrating road traffic management and central systems for dynamic route guidance and traffic signal control. This paper summarises...

Wegwijs?Amsterdam?A Dual Mode Routeguidance Plan
Wegwijs-Amsterdam stands for a plan to test the feasibility of a dual-mode route-guidance system based on a network of beacons which give the driver route-guidance to reach a pre-selected...

Video Image Processing for Toll Operation Evaluation
Toll motorway companies are very much concerned with toll plaza operation and its appreciation by customers. The problem is two-fold: define a desired level of service (queue lengths,...

A Review of European Developments in Route Guidance and Navigation Systems
This paper summarises the rapid progress in Europe in developing in-vehicle navigation systems. It discusses the various studies which have been carried out of the benefits of route guidance,...

Assessment of IVHS Research Efforts in Japan and Future Directions
In the past twenty years, research on intelligent vehicle/highway systems (IVHS) in Japan has seen a tremendous progress. The first advanced IVHS research was conducted between 1973 and...
