Freeway Control Systems for Using Section-Related Traffic Variable Detection
Traffic control systems for freeways are described which use section-related traffic variable measurement techniques. For deriving section-related variables feature sequence of a vehicle...
Using VRC Data for Incident Detection
Most existing incident detection algorithms use inductive loops, a relatively old sensor technology that obtains data at specific points along the roadway. This paper discusses the use...
Video Image Processing Application: Automatic Incident Detection on Freeways
This paper presents the results of tests carried out in the last 3 months of 1992 regarding the Automatic Incident Detection System elaborated in the INAVID project (DRIVE program). This...
Driver Assistance and Local Traffic Management, DALTM
This paper focus on some important features in the Swedish and European Road, Transport and informatic (RTI) program - the intelligent communication between road infrastructure and the...
Rural Applications of IVHS
The Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) program in the U.S.A. is understandably directed primarily toward urbanized areas where congestion is highest. Despite having somewhat less...
Traffic Information and Management in a Geographically Distributed Computing Environment
This paper presents a comprehensive architecture for a geographically distributed traffic information/management system, and demonstrates the viability of such an architecture using GIS,...
Traffic Information and Driver Behavior in France
The 600 Kilometer freeway network within a 30 Kilometer radius around Paris handles 40% of the overall regional traffic volume (number of vehicles). This network is now operated by a single...
Advanced Highway Control on the Central Artery
The Boston Central Artery/Tunnel project involves highways 190 and 193, in downtown Boston, placing underground 7 miles of four to eight lane tunnels. The project, with 37 lane-miles underground,...
Neural Networks in Freeway Control
Hierarchical control strategies have been proposed for freeway optimum control since the 1960's. Multi-layer hierarchical control optimizes system performance to determine a nominal metering...
Improvement of Terminal Reliability and Travel Time Reliability Under Traffic Management
Terminal reliability and travel time reliability of road networks are proposed as new indicators for road network management and construction. First, the significance of road network management...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
