The information is reprocessed by computer at the AMTICS data processing center and broadcast to vehicles by a new radio data communication system called Teleterminal. The equipment in vehicles will consist of a display, a compact disk-read only memory, a reader for retrieving map information stored on CDs, and a microcomputer to calculate the vehicle's position and to superimpose it on the display. The major benefit of this system will be its ability to display, in real time, not only the vehicle's current position and route but also information on traffic congestion, regulation, road works, and parking. The system is also being considered for application to business vehicle management systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129354900","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 experiment is taking place in the Smart Corridor, a 13-mile (20 km) stretch along the Freeway between Santa Monica and downtown Los Angeles. Twenty-five vehicles, equipped with an in-vehicle navigation system using a modified Etak map display to show traffic congestion information, will be used. After a system overview, descriptions are given of the vehicle system, the central system, and the communication system, and details of the experimental evaluation are given.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"444 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116514033","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 authors estimate the present extent of uses of radionavigation/location equipment and forecast the extent of use by the year 2000. Systems included in this report were grouped into three major types: active satellite systems represented by the GEOSTAR example; passive satellite systems represented by the Global Positioning System example; and ground based systems represented by the Loran-C example. The methodology comprised five phases: documentation review and expert interviews; development of interview guidelines; development of alternative radionavigation-systems-evolution scenarios; interviews with current and potential ground surface users; and data synthesis. Radionavigation systems development scenarios were the object of a number of in-depth interviews with experts. Estimates and forecasts were grouped as follows: public service, goods movements, private, military, agriculture, and other ground surface users.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122128555","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 parking systems concepts, the advance booking technique, the holding place technique, and the parking access time offer technique are described. These techniques will enable towns to reduce, or even to eliminate, parking search traffic.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124360824","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 system takes advantage of the Loran-C terrestrial coverage and the phenomenon of radiowave reflection from the meteor region of the Earth's atmosphere. The radio connection between base stations and remote communication units is a random process that provides a natural contention management scheme and permits hundreds of thousands of vehicles to communicate over the same radio frequencies. The nationwide system is designed for an average message delivery time of less than ten minutes. A pilot program conducted with the largest truckload carrier in the United States showed 20-min average message delivery times and 8-min average wait interval for radio connections with operational trucks.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130181507","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}
