A program was developed to permit the accurate estimation of realtime traffic demands. Online traffic data are sorted by a fuzzy modeling algorithm to identify the best matching pattern. A self learning mechanism is utilized to modify the predicted demand incrementally. An optimization algorithm is developed for online calculation of the optimal contraflow schedule based on the predicted demand. The total delay of both traffic approaches is minimized.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129686403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It tracks aircraft and other surface targets using data from two available sensors, i.e., the airport surface radar, and the long range surveillance radar. The system stores an adaptive database which defines the airport geography and traffic rules. AMASS algorithms use the airport configuration database and aircraft track files to test for nearly one thousand hazards. AMASS issues audible warnings, and displays the location of the aircraft involved on existing monitors. System operation, technology, and future enhancements are described. Preproduction system testing and validation at San Francisco International Airport is discussed.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130490895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is based on a multi-transputer system. The task of segmenting video images of a traffic scene is achieved by configuring a number of hardware modules to perform temporal smoothing, image differencing and thresholding. Feature extraction, motion prediction and brightness computation are assigned to a number of transputer framestores. Four lanes/entries can be monitored in real time using a total of six framestore units and three hardware video processing modules. The full system configuration is outlined and the hardware is described. Some results of monitoring motorway traffic and tracking vehicles in a four-arm junction are discussed.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123889196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The literature suggests an advantage for oral over visual information because the visual channel is already heavily loaded while driving. The author attempts to replicate this finding and to test explanations for this phenomenon in order to come to more sophisticated guidelines. The results confirm the advantage of verbal instructions and suggest that it is caused by recording of spatial guidance instructions into a verbal memory format which is not required for verbal instructions. It is concluded that navigation instructions should basically be oral, although arrows or map-like images may be used to support oral presentation.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124902381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
