This paper explores the possibility that auctions could be run at each intersection to determine the order in which drivers perform conflicting movements. While such a scheme would be infeasible for human drivers, autonomous vehicles are capable of quickly and seamlessly bidding on behalf of human passengers. Specifically, this paper investigates applying autonomous vehicle auctions at traditional intersections using stop signs and traffic signals, as well as to autonomous reservation protocols. This paper also addresses the issue of fairness by having a benevolent system agent bid to maintain a reasonable travel time for drivers with low budgets. An implementation of the mechanism in a microscopic simulator is presented, and experiments on city-scale maps are performed.","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125974710","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}

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is probably the biggest and best known VGI approach providing a free and open-source database for geodata worldwide outperforming conventional mapping procedures in terms of actuality and costs. For making the growing geo database accessible for everybody, its structure is kept as simple as possible. The purpose of this paper is to present a proposed extension to the classic OSM data model, which allows for modelling many aspects needed by several railway applications.

For instance, current traffic control systems often operate on the basis of adaptive green phases and flexible co-ordination in road (sub) networks based on measured traffic conditions. However, these approaches are still not very efficient during unforeseen situations such as road incidents when changes in traffic are requested in a short time interval. Therefore, we need self-managing systems that can plan and act effectively in order to restore an unexpected road traffic situations into the normal order. A significant step towards this is exploiting Automated Planning techniques which can reason about unforeseen situations in the road network and come up with plans (sequences of actions) achieving a desired traffic situation. In this paper, we introduce the problem of self-management of a road traffic network as a temporal planning problem in order to effectively navigate cars throughout a road network. We demonstrate the feasibility of such a concept and discuss our preliminary evaluation in order to identify strengths and weaknesses of our approach and point to some promising directions of future research.","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"315 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116361620","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}

In this paper, we use an aggregate modeling approach based on the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD), in order to find dynamic optimal routing strategies. An urban area can be divided into homogeneous regions each modeled by a (set of) macroscopic fundamental diagrams. Thus, the problem of route guidance can be solved in a regional fashion by using model predictive control and the novel high-level MFD-based model used for prediction of traffic states in the urban network. The optimal routing advices obtained from the high-level controller can be used as references (to track) for lower-level local controllers installed at the borders of the regions. Hence, the complexity of solving the routing problem will be decreased significantly. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated using a multi-origin multi-destination grid network. Further, the obtained results show significant performance of the optimal dynamic route guidance over other static routing methods.","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124562879","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}

However, such information is essential for (urban) traffic planning and control. Hence, in order to support traffic managers, this paper analyses an approach for deriving traffic flows from probe vehicle speeds, which are potentially available with a wide spatial coverage. The idea is to apply the speed-flow function as known from macroscopic traffic flow theory. In this context, a stochastic representation of the fundamental diagram via Bayesian networks is proposed which also considers the temporal dependencies and transitions between the appearing traffic states. The paper describes the relevant theoretical concepts in comparison to the traditional approach of fitting deterministic curves to empirical speed-flow relations. Moreover, it analyses the findings of an extensive validation in context of traffic flow estimation via probe vehicle data using real traffic measurements provided by about 600 local detectors and about 4,300 taxi probes in Berlin, Germany.","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126462017","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}

We consider a network consisting of a perimeter with traffic lights and a subnetwork without traffic lights. The MFDs for the two parts, i.e. the controlled subnetwork and its perimeter, are determined by means of microsimulation. We found that different signal settings change the shape of the MFD for both parts considerably. Also the ratio between the performance of the subnetwork and the corresponding perimeter is often fairly constant regardless of the signal timings. Thus, metering traffic heading towards the subnetwork is not always a good control strategy, as the performance of the subnetwork is eventually affected in the same way as the performance of the perimeter. Furthermore it has been found that the shape of the MFD of the perimeter, including the critical network density, strongly depends on the signal timings. It is therefore concluded that the MFD is difficult to use for control strategies aiming to adapt signal timings, because the changed signal timings themselves will result in a different value for the critical network density.","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126856229","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}
