Download or read book Multi perspective System wide Analyses of Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Systems Using Microsimulation and Contemporary Data Sources written by Abhay Dnyaneshwar Lidbe and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary function of traffic signals is to assign the right of way to vehicular and pedestrian traffic at intersections. Effective traffic signal system reduces congestion, increases intersection capacity, and improves other traffic related performance measures such as safety and mobility. To ensure these goals are met, traffic signals require updated timings to maintain proper operation. These updated signal timings impact not only traffic performance, but overall transportation system efficiency. Because traditional signal timing plans may not accommodate variable and unpredictable traffic demands, a more proactive approach is necessary to ensure properly timed and maintained traffic signals. Adaptive traffic control systems (ATCS) continually collect data and optimize signal timing on a real time basis thereby reducing the aforementioned drawbacks of traditional signal retiming. Understanding and characterizing how these systems are working is important to transportation engineers, and evaluating these systems can provide useful insights. The objective of this dissertation is to develop evaluation methodologies (both operational and economical) for adaptive traffic signal control that go beyond the traditional assessments that use traffic measures of effectiveness (MOEs). Case studies are conducted for Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS) implementations in Alabama, which are useful in objective evaluations of ATCS (in general) for both their current and future operational environments by using microsimulation techniques and/or field data from contemporary data sources. The study contains detailed comparative analyses of traffic operations of the study corridors for existing peak hour traffic conditions under the previous time-of-day (TOD) plan and similar peak hour conditions after SCATS implementation. Although simulation analysis using VISSIM traffic microsimulation software is the primary methodological technique used for evaluating comparative performances, arterial data from other sources (Bluetooth MAC Address Matching and crowdsourced travel data) are also used to perform the evaluations, which is a novel application for this context. While past studies have considered either the arterial or its side-streets performances in their evaluations, this work explored a system-wide approach looking at the composite performance of both dimensions together. Finally, for transportation agencies which operate within budget constraints, it is important to know the real worth of attaining the benefits from ATCS implementations. The last chapter of this dissertation extends the evaluation methodology to include benefit-cost analysis (BCA) by evaluating the ATCS performance for both current and future traffic conditions. This information will be helpful for transportation agencies, planners, and practitioners to understand and justify their ATCS investment and also serve as a guideline for their future ITS projects.

Download or read book Autonomic Road Transport Support Systems written by Thomas Leo McCluskey and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work on Autonomic Road Transport Support (ARTS) presented here aims at meeting the challenge of engineering autonomic behavior in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) by fusing research from the disciplines of traffic engineering and autonomic computing. Ideas and techniques from leading edge artificial intelligence research have been adapted for ITS over the last 30 years. Examples include adaptive control embedded in real time traffic control systems, heuristic algorithms (e.g. in SAT-NAV systems), image processing and computer vision (e.g. in automated surveillance interpretation). Autonomic computing which is inspired from the biological example of the body’s autonomic nervous system is a more recent development. It allows for a more efficient management of heterogeneous distributed computing systems. In the area of computing, autonomic systems are endowed with a number of properties that are generally referred to as self-X properties, including self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, self-protection and more generally self-management. Some isolated examples of autonomic properties such as self-adaptation have found their way into ITS technology and have already proved beneficial. This edited volume provides a comprehensive introduction to Autonomic Road Transport Support (ARTS) and describes the development of ARTS systems. It starts out with the visions, opportunities and challenges, then presents the foundations of ARTS and the platforms and methods used and it closes with experiences from real-world applications and prototypes of emerging applications. This makes it suitable for researchers and practitioners in the fields of autonomic computing, traffic and transport management and engineering, AI, and software engineering. Graduate students will benefit from state-of-the-art description, the study of novel methods and the case studies provided.

Download or read book The Future of Air Traffic Control written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-01-26 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automation in air traffic control may increase efficiency, but it also raises questions about adequate human control over automated systems. Following on the panel's first volume on air traffic control automation, Flight to the Future (NRC, 1997), this book focuses on the interaction of pilots and air traffic controllers, with a growing network of automated functions in the airspace system. The panel offers recommendations for development of human-centered automation, addressing key areas such as providing levels of automation that are appropriate to levels of risk, examining procedures for recovery from emergencies, free flight versus ground-based authority, and more. The book explores ways in which technology can build on human strengths and compensate for human vulnerabilities, minimizing both mistrust of automation and complacency about its abilities. The panel presents an overview of emerging technologies and trends toward automation within the national airspace systemâ€"in areas such as global positioning and other aspects of surveillance, flight information provided to pilots an controllers, collision avoidance, strategic long-term planning, and systems for training and maintenance. The book examines how to achieve better integration of research and development, including the importance of user involvement in air traffic control. It also discusses how to harmonize the wide range of functions in the national airspace system, with a detailed review of the free flight initiative.
