The advantages and disadvantages of some types of traffic detectors and data transmission methods are compared. For current TICS, wireless data transmission is suggested. In view of factors such as work principle, transmitting speed, and cost, the CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) network is selected to transmit the traffic data. According to experimental results about the accuracy of RTMS (Remote Transportation Microwave Sensors) and data transmission experiments in Beijing freeways, the suggested scheme using RTMS and CPPD to compose TICS is feasible. Furthermore, the system structure and functional description of this wireless TICS are given.","PeriodicalId":365722,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The overall scheme is implemented through a set of decisional agents, one for each node at which different routing choices are possible. For each of such nodes an optimization problem is stated and solved, at the beginning of each interval time, whose objective is to determine the optimal splitting rates or vehicles incoming that node, for each possible final destination. The main objective of such a problem is to minimize the total travel time spent by each of the incoming vehicles. The overall control scheme is based on the solution of a single node optimal control problem. The coordination among the single node controllers is ensured by a procedure for information exchange.","PeriodicalId":365722,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The approach allows for the estimation of acceleration and deceleration variation among vehicles on a link with a given speed. Acceleration is shown to be a random variable that follows a probabilistic distribution that is practically independent of the road type. For the given data set, this distribution is a half-normal distribution for both acceleration and deceleration. Moreover, the standard deviation of the distributions decreases as the speed range increases. The developed model has a number of applications, especially where acceleration needs to be modeled as in the case of non-microscopic traffic models. In such context, instantaneous emission models benefit most from this analysis as these models account for engine operation, accelerations, or other power surrogate terms, which lead to the generation of tailpipe emissions. Results of this paper also have applications for designing and validating regulatory driving cycles.","PeriodicalId":365722,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

An offset, which is the target of signal control parameters for this study, is difficult to optimize because of its variety of combinations. Traffic signal optimization using GAs has has been investigated in previous studies, most of which focused on signal control without considering the fluctuations of traffic flow. In a practical situation, the rate of flow changes as time passes, so that offset optimization considering these fluctuations of flow is required. As a case study, an urban traffic route in a city of the Chubu region in Japan, with twenty-one signalized intersections, was tested. To perform offset-optimization by a GA, offset values were represented in a chromosome having the same number of genes as the signals. Two different schemes are introduced into the GA-based program and evaluated in terms of average travel time. The results show that the offset optimization schemes used in this study are valuable for efficient signal control.","PeriodicalId":365722,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

While the use of some of these cameras is being automated through computer vision, few computer vision systems allow for true wide-area large scaled automation. This paper describes a distributed computing system capable of managing an arbitrarily large sensor network using only common computing and networking platforms. The architecture is capable of handling many common computer vision tasks, as well as the inter-sensor communication necessary for developing new algorithms which employ data from multiple sensors. This system is tested with an algorithm which tracks moving objects through a prototype camera network with non-overlapping fields or view in a college campus environment This algorithm allows the system to maintain the identity of a tracked objects as it leaves and enters the fields of view of individual sensors. Such an algorithm is necessary for applications which require tracking objects over large distances or over long periods of time in an environment without complete sensor coverage.","PeriodicalId":365722,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

A method to determine such robust itineraries is described, and an example of the bus network in Tucson, Arizona (USA) is used to illustrate the method. Advantages of this method over traditional itinerary planning methods are also outlined.","PeriodicalId":365722,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
