Comparison of Traffic Signal Systems in Australia and North America
Dynamic coordinated traffic signal systems were developed in Australia in the 1970's, and are now installed in many countries. In contrast, strong interest in new generation...

Fully-Distributed Control of Signal Networks
A fully-distributed real-time control strategy is described for signalized networks. The signals make compatible, simultaneous decisions about cycle length, offset and splits, without...

Cars: A Demand-Responsive Traffic Control System
This paper presents a demand responsive traffic control system for networks based on improvements from a combination of OPAC and ACTS approaches. The system has shown clear advantages...

Testing and Feasibility of VIPS for Traffic Detection
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has asked the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) at San Luis Obispo to investigate the effectiveness of existing...

Incident Detection Through Video Image Processing
A machine vision system for vehicle detection and traffic parameter extraction (called AUTOSCOPE) was recently developed at the University of Minnesota. Its advantages lie in its multispot...

Traffic Queue Detection Using Image-Processing
A method of queue/congestion detection is described using low cost image processing and computing hardware. It is capable of processing data from a length of roadway within a few seconds,...

Report of the DEVLONICS Video Based Traffic Detector Systems (DRS-CCATS/DTMSA)
In traffic monitoring systems many detectors are in widespread use to provide the necessary information. Image and video processing is one of the most defiant newcoming technologies in...

An Application of Advanced Technologies for Freeway Traffic Management?An Indiana Case Study
The Indiana Department of Transportation is in the process of implementing an electronic surveillance and control system on the Borman Expressway (I80/94). This paper presents a summary...

Evaluation of Reliability of Road Network for Better Performance, Advanced Management and Future Network Design
This paper proposes reliability as a new indicator for advanced management and future construction of road networks; and also presents a new reliability analysis method. This article contains...

Public Agency Issues in the Implementation of IVHS
Public agencies will be extensively involved in the deployment, maintenance, and operation of IVHS infrastructure. The existing fragmentation of transportation responsibilities will require...

Stereo Vision Onboard a Vehicle for Obstacle Detection
We show how two linear cameras, mounted behind the windscreen of a car, can be used to detect the obstacles on the road in real time, even with small computer architectures. Results of...

Automatic Object Identification in Road
The methodology for automatic object recognition in real road traffic environment is presented. The proposed data acquisition methods have been tested on site. In addition, the fundamental...

Stereo Vision with Scan-Line Cameras for Intrusion Detection on L.R.T. Tracks
In this paper we present a new method for the detection of intrusions by means of stereo vision in order to infer 3D information from two linear sensors. This method can be used for security...

Using Real-Time Location Information for Hazardous Materials Shipments
Real-time location information on shipments of hazardous materials can be used to update routing decisions while the shipments are in transit. The effects of unforeseen delays, accidents...

An Analytical Framework for Minimizing Freeway Incident Response Time
The reduction in incident delay is an important aspect of any freeway management program as it results in substantial savings to roadway users. This paper presents an integrated decision...

Cost Savings from AVMC Systems in Trucking
The paper presents a brief overview of a methodology by which the cost savings of advanced vehicle monitoring and communication (AVMC) systems in long distance or intercity trucking can...

A Fleet Management System for Road Transportation
In this paper, an architecture for a fleet management system for road transportation companies is being proposed. This fleet management system integrates planning support with mobile communications...

Optimal Ramp-Metering Control for Freeway Corridors
The paper discusses an optimal ramp-metering control model wherein a corridor is discretized into small road sections, with density as the state variable and ramp metering rates, the control...
