We propose the method of counting cars by using the tracking of moving objects from the sequential images taken at the outdoor parking lot. In this paper, we describe a loci extraction method by linkage and separation of the moving regions detected from time differential images, and a counting method by recognition of a car from the features of the extracted locus. We develop the system by combining a personal computer with a high speed image processor. Both the robustness and practicality of real time processing, at 0.2 second per frame, are confirmed through experiments using VTR real parking lot images.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":338322,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS'94 - 1994 Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124041873","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 basis of these services is a communication link between vehicles and infrastructure, or between vehicles. The first generation of services like road pricing and route guidance will be realized using vehicle-infrastructure communication. Future developments aim at integrating inter-vehicle communication to enable cooperative driving, e.g. by harmonizing speed and distance. Existing networks cannot provide the required communication services. Current research is based on the 64 GHz frequency. Protocols from existing packet radio networks cannot be adapted because veh.-veh.-communication implies completely new requirements. This becomes obvious for example in the area of media access protocols (MAC-protocols). It is not possible to distribute the access to the broadcast medium by a central (master) station. In this paper a MAC-protocol is presented-COCAIN (cooperative optimized channel access for inter-vehicle communication). A brief overview on the viewed communication scenario is given and the basics of former channel access protocol approaches are summarized. The protocol approach is presented, results of simulations are briefly discussed and the crucial parameters of this protocol approach are pointed out. The influence of these crucial parameters is considered.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":338322,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS'94 - 1994 Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130388270","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 model simulates traffic condition in a large-scale network. Drivers are divided into groups according to patterns of route choice. One group is composed of drivers who get information of dynamic traffic condition and change route on the way to their destination according to the dynamic traffic condition. Another group is composed of drivers who do not get information of dynamic traffic condition but change route on the way to their destination according to dynamic traffic condition to some extent, and yet another group is composed of drivers who always use the same route. The authors examine the performance of the model through simulating traffic flow on an imaginary traffic network. The validity of the model is shown, and the effect of providing drivers information of dynamic traffic condition is estimated.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":338322,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS'94 - 1994 Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128030761","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 proposed system is based on boomerang transmission system and uses the principle of CDMA. This proposed system is an efficient system for active safety and smooth driving without traffic jam from view of effective use of money and transmission medium. Using the proposed double boomerang transmission system, each vehicle (Vehicle-#1 or Vehicle-#2) can correctly know the information of the other vehicle (Vehicle-#2 or Vehicle-#1) and, can range the distance between two vehicles at the same time. From computer simulations, it is confirmed that the proposed double boomerang transmission system is effective even when interference signals exist.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":338322,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS'94 - 1994 Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129887444","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}

Three levels of traffic information service have been considered.

According to this new synergetics, the slave parameters work in cooperation with the order parameters to keep the network in stable state. It is shown from the synergetics that the control parameters for distributing hand-off channels are reduced to half in this problem.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":338322,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of VNIS'94 - 1994 Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference","volume":"395 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115317366","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}

One is the newly issued topographic maps, which include both roads and other features but are not updated every year. The other is the information from the road administrators; it is used to update the road networks. Every year the information of the newly opened or improved roads is collected and used to update the road network in the database.
