City logistics is one of the causes of today's road congestion in our cities, but at the same time its efficiency is affected by the traffic problems. The driving behaviour and mission strategies used by vans and lorries operating in urban areas usually does not exploit modern infomobility solutions. CityLog, a project co-funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Programme, aims at...
Advanced vehicle guidance systems use real-time traffic information to route traffic and to avoid congestion. Unfortunately, these systems can only react upon the presence of traffic jams and not to prevent the creation of unnecessary congestion. Anticipatory vehicle routing is promising in that respect, because this approach allows directing vehicle routing by accounting for traffic forecast information...
A quickly increasing number of advanced driver assistance systems are implemented in modern vehicles. Already today, this can lead to a mental overload of drivers, since every single system has its own control elements. In the future, innovative vehicle interaction concepts, with a global design philosophy, will be necessary. Conduct-by-Wire (CbW) is an approach to relieve drivers from stabilization...
Everyday people face road traffic congestions in big cities causing wastes in time, productivity and accidents. Several techniques from different fields in science and technology have been proposed for road management that deal with different ways of modeling traffic lights, policies, cars and coordination. Here we are restricting our attention to automated vehicles coordination approaches, which...
Current GPS-based vehicle navigation systems provide drivers with information about the location and the availability of a parking lot near the specified destination. However, this availability information is provided based only on the current state of the parking lot. Therefore, they fail to predict whether the vehicle would be able to get a parking lot when it actually arrives. In this paper, we...
