Download or read book ITS Sensors and Architectures for Traffic Management and Connected Vehicles written by Lawrence A. Klein and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intelligent transportation system (ITS) offers considerable opportunities for increasing the safety, efficiency, and predictability of traffic flow and reducing vehicle emissions. Sensors (or detectors) enable the effective gathering of arterial and controlled-access highway information in support of automatic incident detection, active transportation and demand management, traffic-adaptive signal control, and ramp and freeway metering and dispatching of emergency response providers. As traffic flow sensors are integrated with big data sources such as connected and cooperative vehicles, and cell phones and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, more accurate and timely traffic flow information can be obtained. The book examines the roles of traffic management centers that serve cities, counties, and other regions, and the collocation issues that ensue when multiple agencies share the same space. It describes sensor applications and data requirements for several ITS strategies; sensor technologies; sensor installation, initialization, and field-testing procedures; and alternate sources of traffic flow data. The book addresses concerns related to the introduction of automated and connected vehicles, and the benefits that systems engineering and national ITS architectures in the US, Europe, Japan, and elsewhere bring to ITS. Sensor and data fusion benefits to traffic management are described, while the Bayesian and Dempster–Shafer approaches to data fusion are discussed in more detail. ITS Sensors and Architectures for Traffic Management and Connected Vehicles suits the needs of personnel in transportation institutes and highway agencies, and students in undergraduate or graduate transportation engineering courses.

Book excerpt: This handbook, which was developed in recognition of the need for the compilation and dissemination of information on advanced traffic control systems, presents the basic principles for the planning, design, and implementation of such systems for urban streets and freeways. The presentation concept and organization of this handbook is developed from the viewpoint of systems engineering. Traffic control studies are described, and traffic control and surveillance concepts are reviewed. Hardware components are outlined, and computer concepts, and communication concepts are stated. Local and central controllers are described, as well as display, television and driver information systems. Available systems technology and candidate system definition, evaluation and implementation are also covered. The management of traffic control systems is discussed.

Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 525, Vol. 16: A Guide to Emergency Response Planning at State Transportation Agencies is designed to help executive management and emergency response planners at state transportation agencies as they and their local and regional counterparts assess their respective emergency response plans and identify areas needing improvement. NCHRP replaces a 2002 document, A Guide to Updating Highway Emergency Response Plans for Terrorist Incidents. NCHRP Report 525, Vol. 16 is supported by the following online appendixes: Appendix K - Annotated Bibliography; Appendix L - White Paper on Emergency Response Functions and Spreadsheet Tool for Emergency Response Functions; Appendix M - 2010 Guide Presentation. NCHRP Report 525: Surface Transportation Security is a series in which relevant information is assembled into single, concise volumes - each pertaining to a specific security problem and closely related issues. The volumes focus on the concerns that transportation agencies are addressing when developing programs in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the anthrax attacks that followed. Future volumes of the report will be issued as they are completed.

Download or read book Managing Emergency Response on Urban Freeways in California by the Year 2000 written by Roger B. Newquist and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This California study examines the future traffic demands on the state's urban freeway systems and the methods law enforcement agencies can use to manage responses to traffic emergencies. The study consists of a review of relevant literature, an examination of significant trends and events, the development of three possible future scenarios, and suggested strategic and transition management plans. The data analysis reveals a growing traffic congestion problem that is compounded by the delayed response of law enforcement personnel to lane-blocking incidents. The analysis indicates that this delayed response has consequences for both public safety and the socioeconomic system. The proposed strategic management plan recommends the development of a public education program that will instruct citizens in actions to take when confronted with freeway lane-blocking incidents. It also proposes the creation of an integrated traffic management system that will electronically monitor and route traffic. Also, future freeways should include paved areas adjacent to traffic lanes to be used for lane-clearing operations during emergencies. Additional recommendations are the creation of specialized emergency response units prepositioned along urban freeways for rapid emergency response and the increased use of motorcycles as initial response vehicles during high-congestion periods.
