The recent major studies reveal that the transportation system of any country must focus on the road conditions for effective traffic management. The several parameters can be considered to identify the road conditions such as types of vehicles, speed limit on different roads, traffic and transport rules etc. The paper discusses about the two major and important concerns on the Indian roads scenario...
Obtaining high quality sensor information is critical in vehicular emergencies. However, existing standards such as IEEE 802.11p/DSRC and LTE-A cannot support either the required data rates or the latency requirements. One solution to this problem is for municipalities to invest in dedicated base stations to ensure that drivers have the information they need to make safe decisions in or near accidents...
Vehicles are becoming the next frontiers for Internet of Things (IoT) based platforms and services. Connected vehicles, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) together with IoT technologies have the potential of unleashing efficient and more sustainable transportation system which is fast becoming an important societal challenge. This paper formulates several main research and engineering challenges...
Increased traffic and hence congestion is a major problem in cities or urban areas. To mitigate this problem of congestion a real-time traffic density estimation model is essential. This research proposes one such model for estimating the traffic congestion level with the help of Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) and Cloud Computing. In this work, a novel architecture and algorithm has been proposed...
Currently new technology approaches are changing the world in terms of how the people can feel or sense what is happening the whole the time. As regard of this and focusing on the transportation sector, the inhabitants of whatever country wish to know what is happening on the highways, even when they are travelling, in order to be able to take decisions in their routing and timing. There are several...
Traffic management has become more complicated because increasing road networks and vehicles day by day due to population increasing. Monitoring and tracking of movable vehicles is one of the most comprehensive issues. Decision support system for traffic management is the key points of intelligent transportation system. In this paper we propose the decision support system for handling traffic by using...
In Intelligent Transportation System, Advance Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) plays a vital role. In ADAS, many research works are done in the area of traffic sign recognition, Forward Collision Warning, Automotive navigation system, Lane departure warning system but an another important area to look through is speed bumps detection. The recognition of speed bump is a safety to a human and a vehicle...
Traffic density estimation plays an integral role in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), using which provides important information for signal control and effective traffic management. In this paper, we present a new framework for traffic density estimation based on topic model, which is an unsupervised model. This framework uses a set of visual features without any need to individual vehicle...
Estimating the tolerable waiting time of a passenger waiting for a vacant taxi is a challenging task in the field of Intelligent Transportation System. Different from existing methods for estimating the waiting time, the proposed algorithm focus on the waiting time passengers acceptable, and there is no research on this issue as far as knows. As fuzzy logic is proved to be well suited to deal with...
As one of the most populous country in the world, Indonesia face many challenging issues on mass transportation. Transportation become one factor of the rapidly growing urbanization and traffic congestion in this country. In many big cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, Medan, Surabaya and Makassar, the issue has become more important. The challenging idea of making indicators to benchmarking smartness...
The number of urban vehicles has increased in the past years causing innumerous problems such as traffic jams, accidents and pollution. One of the main solutions for this problem is to improve the quality of public transportation by making it more reliable, secure and efficient. In this paper, it is proposed a system for monitoring urban vehicles based on ZigBee technology, called MUV-Bee. Such system...
In recent years, Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) has emerged as new technology to provide uninterrupted information to the vehicles from anywhere, anytime. The VCC provides two types of services such as safety related messages and non-safety related messages to the users. The vehicles have less computational power, storage etc. so that the vehicles collect information and send these information to...
Vehicles identification has become a key issue to solved in intelligent transportation systems. This paper proposes a method that takes the advantage of vehicle template library and modified classification. The vehicle template library was built based on CURE clustering algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed method has higher rate of recognition, the experimental effect is obvious.
Vehicular networking has a significant advantages in the today era. It provides desirable features and some specific applications such as efficient traffic management, road safety and infotainment. The vehicle consists of comparatively more communication systems such as on-board computing device, storage and computing power, GPS etc. to provide Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The new hybrid...
Many up to date techniques are involved in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). As an essential part of ITS, License Plate Recognition (LPR) is widely studied. Among the techniques used for LPR, image projection method is testified to be an effective means in obtaining image feature in practice. However, image projection method could not solve all the problems in image identification. For instance,...
In present days, the road network in any major city faces the constant pressure of accommodating an ever increasing number of vehicles while conserving a congestion-free status. However, identifying key intersections that will soon become congested is a difficult task, performed by tedious, thorough simulations; even more difficult is to adapt the road network so as to increase its efficiency and...
Smart phones are increasingly becoming popular. All Smart phones have rich set of sensors, which can be used to provide driver assistant services. Services such as, road traffic information and road condition monitoring, to provide such services system needs sensors such as GPS, Gyroscope, Accelerometer. Now days Smart phones are coming with these sensors. Smart phone camera sensor, one of the most...
In this paper, we propose a video-based metropolitan positioning system (V-MPS) for providing centimeter-grade localization in vehicular networks. The V-MPS system integrates vehicular networks with installed roadside/intersection cameras to provide positioning information to vehicles on the road. V-MPS can estimate the precise position of a vehicle and detect the located lane for each vehicle. To...
This study proposes a vehicle-following control system for personal electric vehicles (EV). Recently, projects aimed at using personal vehicles to solve vehicle transportation problems associated with overcrowding in cities and depopulation in mountain villages have been under way in several regions in Japan. This study was conducted to contribute to improving mobility in depopulated regions by applying...
Thia paper explores the influence of public value on decision making through the lens of Intelligent Transportation System. To address the aim of the study we adopt an inductive cross-national comparative case-study approach in the Netherlands and the UK. The initial findings indicate that public value concept is practiced within transportation sector in these two countries. The extent of the adoptions...
