The central theme of PROMETHEUS is the intelligent copilot; the program is focused on systems that aid the driver directly. DRIVE concentrates on the infrastructure of systems. The background on road throughput is discussed. It is concluded that the changes due to DRIVE will come mainly from the application of dynamic route guidance and information systems, and are likely to be evolutionary; those due to PROMETHEUS could increase the maximum effective throughput of roads by between twenty and several hundred percent. However, major problems remain to be solved.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"12 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":"125673521","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}

Out of all feasible routes and transfers that connect every place (node) on the network to all others, it generates smaller subsets, each maintaining connectivity on the network. For each of the subsets generated, the system fulfils transformation demand by calculating the appropriate frequency for each route. Next, it calculates the optimization parameters for each subset: passenger hours, waiting time, empty space hours, and fleet size. At this point, the user is able to choose the most suitable subset, based on the specific optimization parameter desired. The system has been designed as a tool to plan future transit networks as well as to help maintain existing ones. This flexibility is achieved throughout the system by allowing the user to supply either his own data or to execute it automatically.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"86 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":"124713698","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 technologies considered are automatic vehicle identification; onboard computers and smart cards; automatic enforcement systems; and license plate scanners. It is noted that the expected results will be of great value to European transportation agencies in determining what demand management measures are appropriate to their particular problems and circumstances, and how new technologies can be used in an optimum system framework to implement those measures. This will potentially lead to reduction of urban congestion, bringing significant economic and environmental benefits.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"56 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":"114142929","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}

He addresses how, through the introduction of a network such as Mobitex, some of these problems (i.e. frequency allocation and geographical expansion) can be avoided. Access to a North-American-wide mobile data market and the effect on specific industries, such as transportation, vehicle navigation, and fleet management are discussed.

Attention is given to such features as the information display signs, the traffic control system, and the ADVISE computer and algorithms. Speeds, especially those excessively higher than the speed limit, have shown a small decrease. According to instrumented vehicle data, fuel consumption is reduced 3 to 4%, stops are down, and travel time is not significantly changed.
