In this research, we installed more than ten traffic monitoring traffic counter cameras in Ahmedabad city of Gujarat state of India. The monitoring cameras detect traffic vehicle and capture several traffic data such as vehicle numbers, vehicle speed, traffic occupancy, vehicle density, gap length between vehicle to vehicle and so on. And each data is collected by every minutes per roads. Therefore the collected data becomes more than 432,000 points per months. In order to analyse the traffic data, author recognize special features of the collected traffic data and the Envelope Observation (EO) for traffic flow characteristics by measurement data is useful for obtaining traffic flow equation. The unique feature of emerging counties traffic data is widely spread plots at the traffic basic characteristics such as traffic density to speed curve and traffic density to traffic volume curve. But there is clearly boundary line in those curves. Author uses EO analysis to fit traffic flow parameters to these boundary lines. By defining traffic flow parameters, it is able to obtain the traffic flow value such as free speed traffic flow, critical traffic volume, and critical traffic density. After obtaining traffic parameters, it is able to create traffic flow equation for each measured road and even each lane of its road. The uniqueness of this research is extension of analysis for the road lane effect for the traffic congestion by correlation ratio analysis between driving lane and passing lane of each road. As the result of this analysis, it becomes clear that congestion condition of roads makes the different traffic flow characteristics by driving and passing lane. This is the first time to explain the lane effect for traffic congestion on the basis of the EO method.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133060555","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}

This paper presents a new method of developing an optimal real-time traffic signal controller using the fuzzy logic technique/method (FLM), taking into consideration all various incoming traffic flows. The developed FLM was designed for an isolated intersection with four legs, split phasing, and three different movements (through, right, and left).

Despite the growing number of industrial and research initiatives aimed at implementing autonomous driving, none of them can claim, yet, to have reached the same driving performance of a human driver. In this paper, we will try to build upon the reasons why the human brain is so effective in learning tasks as complex as the one of driving, borrowing explanations from the most established theories on sensorimotor learning in the field of cognitive neuroscience. The contribution of this work would like to be a new point of view on how the known capabilities of the brain can be taken as an inspiration for the implementation of a more robust artificial driving agent. In this direction, we consider the Convergencedivergence Zones (CDZs) as the most prominent proposal in explaining the simulation process underlying the human sensorimotor learning. We propose to use the CDZs as a “template” for the implementation of neural network models mimicking the phenomenon of mental imagery, which is considered to be at the heart of the human ability to perform sophisticated sensorimotor controls such driving.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114945073","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}

Range anxiety still limits the adoption of battery electric vehicles. Since the range estimation is dependent on different influencing factors, complex algorithms to accurately estimate the vehicles consumption are required. To evaluate the accuracy of data-driven machine learning algorithms, an exhaustive training and validation procedure is mandatory. In this paper, we propose a novel methodology for the development and validation of range estimation algorithms based on machine learning validation approaches. The proposed methodology considers the evaluation of driver-specific and driver-unspecific performance. In addition, an error measure is introduced to assess the performance of range estimation algorithms. This approach is demonstrated and evaluated on a set of recorded real-world driving data. It is shown that our approach helps to analyze the performance of the range estimation algorithm and the influences of different parameter sets.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114639124","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 target city is Ahmedabad of Gujarat state where is located in the west part of India. The current population in Ahmedabad is about 7.8 Million and it is one of rapid economic growing city. These days, the traffic congestion in the city become one of major issues. In order to analyse traffic congestion, large amount of the traffic big data is needed and it is collected through the traffic monitoring camera. The measurement of the data is traffic density, traffic occupancy and average of speed of vehicles which is measured at the road by every minute. The traffic data in emerging countries is not well analyzed so far because of difficulty of collecting traffic data. Author has a chance to involve one of traffic project which provides traffic condition to the drivers through traffic information boards and makes suggestions for avoiding traffic congestion. The current judgement of the traffic congestion is based on the occupancy of the road which is one of traffic flow parameters. This occupancy is not so accuracy sometimes because of difficulty of 100 % vehicle sensing. In this paper, it describes the time zone basis traffic flow analysis in the traffic flow characteristics such as traffic density to average vehicle speed curve, traffic density to traffic volume curve, and traffic volume to average vehicle speed. This analysis is able to identify the effect of time zone to traffic flow condition and provide more appropriate occupancy level for traffic congestion.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128086249","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}

They may possess features such as the capacity to sense environment, collect information, and manage communications with other vehicles. Many autonomous vehicles in development use a combination of cameras, various kinds of sensors, GPS, GNSS, radar, and LiDAR, with an on-board computer. These technologies work together to map the vehicle’s position and its proximity to everything around it. To estimate AV positioning, GNSS data are used. However, the quality of raw GNSS observables is affected by a number of factors that originate from satellites, signal propagation, and receivers. The prevailing speed limit is generally obtained by a real-time map matching process that requires positioning data based on a GNSS and a digital map with up to date speed limit information. This paper focuses on the identification of the impact of GNSS positioning error data on the evaluation of informative speed adaptation. It introduces a new methodology for increasing the accuracy and reliability of positioning information, which is based on a position error model. Applying the sensitivity analysis method to informative speed adaptation yields interesting results which show that the performance of informative speed adaptation is positively affected by minimizing positioning error.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134333629","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}
