As a demand-based transport, CB holds promise to provide personalized service by aggregating travel demand of individuals. However, the data collected through online surveys are limited and unreliable for the CB operation planning. This paper introduces a methodology to investigate the potential travel demands of CB based on smartcard data (SCD). The methodology proposed here consists of three processes: trip chain generation, origin-destination (OD) recognition and travel mode comparison. Drawing on Beijing as the case study, the smartcard dataset is processed for analyzing the spatial-temporal properties of passenger travel behavior and exploring potential travel demand of CB. The results indicate that the data have a workplace-oriented pattern and CB is suitable for passengers with long trip distances (beyond 8 km). These findings advance key points to future CB operation as it is associated with the route design and vehicle arrangement.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"195 1","pages":"2645-2650"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72883008","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}

Moreover, we use the tradable credits scheme to manage the mobility. Thus, we integrate the lane reversal, lane addition and tradable credits scheme to alleviate the traffic congestion due to tide traffic, which is modeled into a mix-integer bilevel programming. In this model, the network authority decides the lane reversal scheme, lane addition scheme and credits charging scheme to minimize the total system travel time, while the travelers follow the user equilibrium (UE) to minimize their generalized travel cost.

When an accident occurs, vehicles within range can receive warning information quickly through inter-vehicle communication. The drivers will have enough time to calmly brake to stop and also reduce the risk of secondary collision. In order to prevent secondary collisions, we propose an algorithm that includes vehicle accident identification and rear-end collision warning. If it is calculated that the vehicle will collide, the system will notify the driver to take brake. The algorithm is based on the historical path of the vehicle and is primarily used for curved road conditions.

Some of them are just redundant systems due to safety requirements. Others, are completely different and can interact with each other as long as they are operating inside the same vehicle. Control allocation methods have been successfully implemented in advanced aircrafts to avoid conflicts, especially in the context of redundant systems. In this paper, we will rather focus on coordinating non-redundant advanced chassis systems with different dynamics. This difference in dynamics can be especially problematic when systems exhibit different communication delays. Model Predictive Control Allocation (MPCA) methods are therefore investigated in order to activate the right system at the right moment. Results show that particularly when the most effective system is saturated, another system with a different time delay can be activated few steps before saturation to instantly take over the maneuver. With good knowledge of actuator dynamics and higher computation power, MPCA methods are able to solve complex problems in severe situations.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"4170-4177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82387729","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}

We analyze the performance of a few deep learning based object detection algorithms (e.g., SSD, RCNN), with respect to the computation requirements, and accuracy for computing the Passenger Car Unit (PCU) count, under heterogeneous traffic condition. We propose an algorithm for a local adaptive TLC, leveraging the existing infrastructure. This algorithm efficiently computes the phase duration, based on round-robin scheduling, considering real-time traffic information. Simulations are carried out to analyze the effect of varying error rates in PCU count on the performance of adaptive TLCs. Further, the performance of the proposed TLC is compared with the conventional static TLC and the recently proposed micro auction based adaptive TLC algorithms. The simulation results suggest that the proposed TLC algorithm can tolerate 20% error in the PCU count without degrading the performance. Also, this work demonstrates that the traffic information with the required accuracy can be processed in real time using the available platforms (e.g., Raspberry Pi). The proposed work establishes the feasibility of upgrading the existing static TLC to a local adaptive TLC with minimal infrastructure requirement.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"43 1","pages":"2563-2568"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82528704","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}

Our proposed method makes use of both vehicle low-level and high-level information and inquires parameters by learning from public naturalistic driving dataset.

We contrasted the performance of these two models in controlling traffic signal systems in an experimental Vissim framework, and compared them with two other control strategies. It was found that the virtual phaselink method outperformed two control strategies and performed close, by not as good as, the Max Pressure control strategy. We found that the disadvantage of the virtual phase-link method stemmed from that fact that the cycle time was not fully used for some of the intersections. It was also found that the platoon created by the cyclic control schemes might slow down to allow vehicles to switch lanes. Compared to the Max Pressure control strategy, the virtual phase-link method can be implemented by any traffic controller that follows the NEMA standards. The real-time requirement of the virtual phase-link method is not as strict as the Max Pressure control strategy.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"299 1","pages":"1361-1366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87532995","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}

A driver assistance system that can prevent traffic accidents must be able to get the driver ' s attention. A practical solution for attention attraction should involve caption generation from in-vehicle images. Although a number of approaches for caption generation with deep neural networks have been proposed, they are inadequate for the specific risk factors while driving. The reason is that conventional captioning methods focus on not these factors but the entirety of an image. To tackle this problem, we first created a dataset to attract attention, one that considers risk factors during driving. Furthermore, we propose an image captioning method for the assistance system. Our method is based on neural baby talk and introduces an attention mask focusing on risk factors in an image. The mask enables our model to generate captions on each factor. Experimental results with our created dataset show that our method can generate captions for ideal attention attraction.","PeriodicalId":6717,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"4317-4322"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87571896","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}

We present a system for driver activity recognition based on image sequences of an in-cabin time-of-flight camera. Our dataset includes actions such as entering and leaving a car or driver object interactions such as using a phone or drinking. In the first stage, we localize body key points of the driver.
