The focus is on the use of the existing and planned communication infrastructure, particularly optic cable plant, to meet some of the IVHS communication requirements. Existing communication systems for urban control traffic systems, freeway traffic management systems, transit and other government services are described, drawing on the authors' experience in the design and implementation of these communication systems. Potential methods to utilize the existing infrastructure, including the use of spare data and video channels, the use of spare optical fibers, conduits, and existing radio links to vehicles are explored. There a number of special requirements and technical issues relating to communication systems for IVHS. These include requirements for the integration of control centers and control center functions, as well as more distributed communication requirements. New design requirements include more flexibility, increased use of standards, and careful consideration of future requirements.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"115 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":"123944754","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}

Investigations, undertaken for Detroit-Windsor border crossings, of institutional and operational constraints and opportunities which shape possible intelligent vehicle highway system (IVHS) technology applications are discussed. Potential strategies to streamline the movement of low-risk commercial goods and low-risk travelers, and several technology application scenarios to support these strategies and operational practices are outlined.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"36 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":"121570627","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}

Some of their objectives are met quite simply with little recourse to the collection and analysis of data.

Sophisticated analyses using appropriately specified models are seen as a solution to some of these problems. But if the models are to command confidence, it is essential that the next generation of field trials be designed to produce more information on user response than has hitherto been the case.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"77 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":"131523578","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 GIS and the associated routing algorithms are intended for deployment in the NY/NJ metropolitan area by TRANSCOM. The GIS allows flexible display of a host of traffic parameters and selection of control actions. Besides GIS and control algorithms, a simulator is implemented to replace the traffic measurements for a secondary road network. The role of the simulator as a tool for designing different control algorithms is discussed. The simulator operates by iteratively updating all the densities on all the included roads. The relations for each road are based on vehicular traffic models. The dependence between the traffic parameters on different roads is incorporated via relations between a road's traffic parameters and those of its entrance and exit roads.","PeriodicalId":185945,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS '93 - Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"24 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":"133711117","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}
