The model described in this paper consists of signalized intersections and roads. In order to properly model traffic congestion, intersections are divided into several crossing sections. An intersection always includes a multi-stage traffic signal, whose stage matrix (i.e., the sequence of signal stages) is a-priori known. The DTPN representing the traffic model, intended to traffic management and signalling control, is proposed and fully described in the paper.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Both acoustic and magnetic signals are processed for vehicle detection. We propose a real-time vehicle detection algorithm called the adaptive threshold algorithm (ATA). The algorithm first computes the time-domain energy distribution curve and then slices the energy curve using a threshold updated adaptively by some decision states. Finally, the hard decision results from threshold slicing are passed to a finite-state machine, which makes the final vehicle detection decision. Real-time tests and offline simulations both demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is effective.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The provision of timely and accurate transit travel time information is important because it attracts additional ridership and increases the satisfaction of transit users. The objectives of this research are to develop and apply a model to predict bus arrival time using automatic vehicle location (AVL) data. In this research, the travel time prediction model considered schedule adherence and dwell times. Actual AVL data from a bus route located in Houston, Texas was used as a test bed. A historical data based model, regression models, and artificial neural network (ANN) models were used to predict bus arrival time. It was found that ANN models outperformed the historical data based model and the regression models in terms of prediction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

A multi-agent system is implemented for the dynamic control of traffic signals in a complex traffic network with numerous intersections. Neural networks are used to approximate the optimal traffic signal control strategies for each agent and the parameters of these neural networks are updated online using an enhanced version of SPSA. Many simulation runs have been carried out to evaluate the performance of the SPSA-NN against an existing traffic signal control technique. Results show that the SPSA-NN based multi-agent system manages to outperform the existing technique. The mean delay of all vehicles has been reduced by 44% compared to the existing technique.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Conventional vehicle detectors are capable of monitoring discrete points along the roadway but do not provide information about conditions on the link between detectors. This information would be useful to the operating agencies for taking timely decisions in response to various delay causing events and hence reduce the resulting congestion of the system. This paper presents an approach that matches vehicle measurements between detector stations to provide information on the conditions in the link rather than relying on the point measurements from the detectors. This work reidentifies vehicle measurements using the existing loop detector infrastructure. Although the research uses loop detector data, it would be equally applicable to the data obtained from any other traffic detector that provides a reproducible vehicle feature.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Applicable solution approaches are discussed and three of them (extended Kalman filter (EKF), iterated EKF, and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) are selected and presented in detail. An application of the methodology with freeway sensor data from two networks in Europe and the U.S. is presented. The improvement in the estimation and prediction of speeds due to on-line calibration (compared with the speeds obtained from the off-line calibrated relationship) is demonstrated. The EKF provides the most straightforward solution to this problem, and indeed achieves considerable improvements in estimation and prediction accuracy. The benefits obtained from the -more computationally expensive-iterated EKF algorithm are shown. An innovative solution technique (the UKF) is also presented. The UKF has a number of unique qualities and advantages over the EKF, including no assumption of analytical representation of the model and no need for explicit computation of derivatives. Empirical results suggest that the UKF outperforms the other two solution techniques in prediction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

This work presents an exemplar set of data mining techniques based on real-world traffic monitoring. The methodology is illustrated by two case studies, collision warning for left-turn across-path scenarios and signal violation. The use of these techniques can yield valuable information applicable to a variety of roadway safety and traffic management applications.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
