However, to date, these two functions are being carried out independently and combining the functions can provide a significant reduction in costs and efficiency of operation. Several attempts have been made to combine CCTV systems that handle traffic monitoring and VIVDS that perform traffic data collection. While most of these have found success in a laboratory environment they are not well suited for field adaptation. This paper presents a system design that is the revised version of a laboratory system design of a CCTV repositioning technique that makes it more suitable for field conditions.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Recently, low cost differential GPS receivers have now become available which have positioning accuracy of approximate 1-3 meters. We describe a real-time DGPS system coupled with a developed map-matching algorithm, which is capable of performing lane-determination on today's roadways. Lane-level positioning opens up the door for a number of new applications such as better fleet management, lane-based traffic measurements from probe vehicles, and lane-level navigation. The developed low-cost system has been tested on a number of roadways and has performed very well when used with accurately surveyed map data.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The analysis is carried on by suitably modeling traffic behaviour on freeway stretches and, then, by estimating such significant quantities as the traffic mean speed and travel times by simulation. The adopted model representing freeway traffic behaviour is based on a classical macroscopic model, but presents the novelty of being able to describe the behaviour of different classes of vehicles. Basing on such a model a simulation tool has been implemented whose major feature stands in the fact that it is connected with a set of measurement devices operating on the considered freeway stretch. In this sense, the simulation tool receives and processes real-time data from the freeway, thus constituting a real-time evaluation instrument to be effectively adopted by freeway managers.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The objectives of this paper are to analyze the rate at which the vehicular traffic intensity is substituted for increments of pedestrians on footpaths and to evaluate the alternative measures of vehicular traffic intensity. Three segments on arterial road in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, were selected for study. The length of each segment was 94 m, 78 m and 90 m. The number of pedestrians on footpaths (left and right sides) and the vehicular traffic characteristics (volume and speed) were recorded for each segment during ten different time periods. Regression analysis was then used to express vehicular characteristics as a function of pedestrians on footpaths. The results of the research illustrate the importance of the control of footpath space as a means of preserving the road/road environment provided by urban arterial.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Many technologies have been implemented for primary screening, but less has been done to improve the secondary screening process. This paper introduces two methods that may aid in detecting deception during the interviews characteristic of secondary screening. First, message feature mining uses message features or cues combined with machine learning techniques to classify messages according to their deceptive potential. Second, speech act profiling, a method for quantifying and visualizing entire conversations, has shown promise in aiding deception detection. These methods may be combined and are intended to be a part of a suite of tools for automating deception detection.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

VRCP achieves seamless communications by selecting a channel assignment method adaptively. In other words, each vehicle communicates using a channel selected randomly by non-persistent CSMA in the areas where the RSU (road side unit) does not exist, and communicates using a channel selected by TDMA where the RSU exists. The performance evaluations of VRCP are carried out by simulation. The results show the fundamental characteristics of VRCP, and VRCP is superior to a non-persistent CSMA.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
