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] report summarizes and interprets findings from Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Field Operational Test (FOT) projects in the field of incident management. The FOTs considered in this report include: Advanced Driver and Vehicle Advisory Navigation Concept, Alternate Bus Routing, Atlanta NAVIGATOR, Borman Expressway ATMS, Cellular Applied to Intelligent Transportation Systems Tracking and Location, During Incidents Vehicle Exit to Reduce Time, Faster and Safer Travel Through Traffic Routing and Advanced Controls, Multijurisdictional Virginia Live Aerial Video Surveillance System, San Diego Smart Call Box, TransGuide and TRANSCOM's Systems for Managing INcidents and Traffic. The FOTs discussed here involved a significant degree of partnership or teaming, often between public and private organizations. The analysis and results presented in this report are categorized as impacts, user response, technical lessons learned, institutional challenges and resolutions and cost to implement. The findings summarized from these projects will be helpful for ITS professionals to rapidly move to develop and deploy state-of-the-art incident detection, verification, and traffic management systems. This report highlights the successes and problems these tests encountered while attempting to develop the technologies and systems to support incident management"--Technical report documentation page.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical to intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is an efficient form of surveillance on freeways to detect incidents. Traditionally, loop detectors or another form of passive detection have been used to meet this need. Due to the high cost, difficulty of timely installation, and limited funding available to deploy ITS systems, the traditional system has been slow to develop in the Dallas area. This research assesses the feasibility of substituting driver-based incident detection using cellular phones for traditional passive detection. The study is divided into five major tasks: (1) summary of current cellular incident reporting services; (2) identification of issues and potential effectiveness of cellular incident detection in Dallas; (3) development of an implementation plan for driver-based cellular detection; (4) comparison of traditional and cellular incident detection methods; and (5) identification of potential funding sources for the implementation plan. This document concentrates on reporting on the development of the implementation plan for driver-based cellular detection in Dallas. Based on evaluation of existing driver-based cellular incident detection programs and interviews with local public safety officials, researchers decided to rely on the existing 911 system for incident detection instead of having a new number, such as *999, created. Based on this decision, the implementation plan contained four major components: (1) driver education campaign, (2) deployment of reference location signs on the freeway network, (3) establishment of communication interfaces between local 911 centers and TxDOT's Dallas Traffic Management Center, and (4) expansion of CCTV camera network for incident verification. All of these components combined together will form an effective incident detection and verification system that should allow the deployment of passive detection, such as loop detectors, to be scaled back accordingly.

Book excerpt: The General Accounting Office (GAO) examined the development and application of intelligent vehicle and highway systems (IVHS), more commonly known as smart highways, as a means of reducing traffic congestion. The following questions were addressed: What have the major studies concluded about the potential effects of IVHS, and to what extent are these findings empirically based? What additional information can be learned from IVHS field tests under way? What major obstacles could impede the realization of transportation benefits possible through IVHS technologies? In brief, GAO found that the empirical basis for judging the effects of IVHS is limited but nonetheless positive and promising.
