Although WiFi has been mainly used for indoor localisation, there is a growing number of research in outdoor WiFi-based localisation. This paper presents a WiFi-based localisation system that takes advantage of the huge deployment of WiFi networks in urban areas. The idea is to complement localisation in zones where the GPS coverage is low, such as urban canyons. The proposed method explores the CNNs ability to handle large amounts of data and their high accuracy with reasonable computational costs. The final objective is to develop a system able to handle the large number of access points present in urban areas while preserving high accuracy and real time requirements. The system was tested in a urban environment, improving the accuracy with respect to the state-of-the-art and being able to work in real time.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"66 1","pages":"1270-1275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74302494","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}

There exist several approaches to detect traffic parameters like speed, flow, and density. A quite common approach in the past was to use stationary detectors like induction loops. An emerging technology is to handle traffic state by floating-car data (probe vehicles) with a high resolution of time and location measurements via GPS. A third methodology is to detect vehicles using the recognition of in-use Bluetooth devices and to derive an average travel time between two Bluetooth detectors. For the first two approaches, several traffic state reconstruction methods exist. This paper aims at reconstructing the prevailing traffic situation out of low-resolution travel times based on Bluetooth captions. A methodology is developed on how to reconstruct the traffic speed and is applied to three months of data from a German autobahn equipped with Bluetooth detectors.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"4275-4280"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75279240","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 core of the proposed approach is to utilize a recently developed metric called relative tempo for distributed coordination which is computable from local measurable data for each vehicle in the network. The relative tempo between each agent and its neighbors is shown to be closely related to the directed spanning tree of the underlying network in a quantitative manner. Based on this fact, a local neighbor selection protocol is subsequently provided to construct the global refined communication structure which can both maintain the connectivity and increase the efficiency of the multi-vehicle coordination.

On the basis of intensive microscopic traffic simulation and reinforcement learning technique, an ego-efficient lane-changing strategy was first developed in this work to enable foresighted lane changing decisions for CAVs to improve their travel efficiency. The overall impacts of such smart lane changes on traffic flow of both CAVs and human-driven vehicles were then examined on the same simulation platform, which reflects a real freeway infrastructure with real demands. It was found that smart lane changes were beneficial for both CAVs and the entire traffic flow, if MPR was not more than 60%.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"53 1","pages":"1385-1392"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73056156","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 addition, an efficient 2D data organization allows fast access to neighboring information of the 3D data. This makes it very suitable for tasks like model creation and clustering.

These assumptions disqualify them from being directly used in practical applications, although they have otherwise nice theoretical properties.

In this paper, we propose four OD prediction models based on the data obtained by Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras. The principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to reduce the dimension of the original OD matrices and to separate the main structure patterns from the noisier components. A state-space model is established for the main structure patterns and the structure deviations, and is incorporated in the Kalman filter framework to make prediction. We further develop three K- Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) based pattern recognition approaches. The proposed four approaches are validated with three days’ field ANPR data from Changsha city, P.R. China. The results show that on one hand our proposed approaches are able to make accurate prediction of OD flows under different demand conditions. On the other hand, the prediction accuracy is highly dependent on the quality of the available OD data: the Kalman filter model performs better for regular and periodic OD patterns; while for irregular OD matrices K-NN models could make more accurate prediction.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"536 1","pages":"4037-4042"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77453134","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, few studies were focused on drivers’ trust while using these systems in different situations. An in-vehicle traffic light system was proposed in our previous research to assist drivers in crossing unsignalized intersections, by displaying virtual traffic signals inside vehicles based on vehicle to vehicle communications. Nevertheless, previous studies assumed that all the vehicles were equipped with vehicular communications, of which the deployment might actually last decades. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the application of the system in a partial deployment scenario. As a driver assistance system, the effectiveness of the system highly relies on drivers’ trust on it. This study, therefore, proposed a drivers’ trust model based on the decision making process. Driving simulator experiments were performed, to investigate drivers’ initial trust and the change of trust on the system while experiencing successful and failed usages of it. Regression analysis was then conducted with the simulated and observed data to validate the model while using the system in partial deployment situations. The results indicated that the proposed model could be suitable for the prediction of trust in partial deployment scenarios.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"379 1","pages":"1588-1593"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77884496","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}

With the spread of technologies such as probe vehicles, continuous acquisition of detailed traffic data in a large-scale network is now possible. It is needed to link characteristic values to each link of network data for utilizing that. However, handling the data linked to all links of a detailed network can be very difficult when the number of links in the network is very large. In that case, aggregating a network structure is an effective approach, however, existing methods have some issues regarding the subjectivity of network selection or the dependence on the original network structure. In this paper, we developed a method to generate an aggregated network consisting of observed vehicle trajectories. Using observed vehicle trajectories to represent network can improve the objectivity of network representation and relieve the dependence on the original network data. As shown by numerical examples of Kobe area network, the complexity of the structure of the aggregated network is not too simple to lose information under network-wide traffic conditions and not too complex to incur a huge calculating cost.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"1677-1682"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80471443","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}
