Real-time path planning is one of emergent approaches which efficiently reduce traffic jam in urban scenarios. Designing an efficient path planning strategy to achieve optimal vehicle-traffic flow control still remains a challenging problem, especially when we take human's uncooperative and uncoordinated selfish behaviors into consideration. In this paper, we first introduce an intelligent transportation...
Along with the economic development, cities are increasingly congested in China. In order to eliminate peak-hour congestion, many cities establish priority lanes such as bus lanes and Olympic lanes. Although priority lanes could help Local Authorities gain its short-term management objectives, at the same time, it would greatly infringe on the legitimate rights of other vehicles and waste the scarce...
In order to eliminate accident, reduce congestion and improve the efficiency of the traffic circle, three effective and feasible methods are proposed.As an example,the traffic circle flow of the circle in Xiamen China is simulated by these methods above using VISSIM soft.The results of simulation show that three methods applied to different traffic flow each,then we did further simulations to the...
To develop a quick detection algorithm for the image-based autonomous vehicle (AV) or computer assisted driving system, this paper proposes a real-time object detection method using two coordinated cameras. The mapping between two simultaneous images from the two cameras and coordination of the virtual sensitive areas can be resolved using parameters like the camera shot angle, the camera focal length,...
Chongqing Chaotianmen Yangtze River Bridge with the main span of 552m is an urban bridge of double deck bridges for highway and rail, which need to verify fatigue security performance of the node on bottom chord . Through the calculation of the full bridge's space finite element, the node for study is determined as the M29 and calculate and calculate the internal force influence line of M29. Load...
The initial real-time information system for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is based on Global Positioning System (GPS) in Ji'nan, it can't provide accurate real-time information of buses arrival/departure at stop, and missing data of GPS is often found, especially under elevated highway or in bad weather. The papers put forward a new way to provide real-time transit information for BRT based on GPS/Signpost...
A serious highway accident with long duration will lead to a great delay. If the extended travel time is beyond travelers' tolerance, they will make a detour by choosing any other roads. However, the driver's behavior of taking other routes will make an impact on the surrounding road network. Thus that impact is called the indirect impact by highway traffic accidents in road network. The range of...
In view of the current widely used city intersection signal control system, oriented by the concept of automatic sensor signal control, this paper tries to use a computer's procedural method, with the input of initial conditions, after automatic calculation, a result which will make the vehicles go through the intersection causing the shortest signal control delay time totally will be generated automatically,...
Former research of transport reliability focuses on road network, few of which refer to the intersection traffic reliability in microcosmic level. The paper proposes the conception of traffic reliability based on which the supply-demand reciprocity is analyzed, and brings forward the methodology that the disabled condition should be differentiated according to distinct system functions. Aiming at...
Firstly the necessity of the design of signal coordination control system in urban main roads is presented , and the design thinking and process of the signal coordination control system is given, then according to the design thinking and process create a model of signal coordination control system in urban main road., and Qingyang Road of LAN Zhou City is taken for example, based on the survey data...
According to the randomness and weak economy properties of the Emergency Rescue Routing Problem (ERRP), a chance-constrained programming model is constructed based on a stochastic road network. In this model, we consider there are multiple emergency rescue departments serving for a single emergency site, and the travel times between any two nodes are stochastic variables. As the stochastic ERRP is...
The text posed a brand new counting method of using infrared which was distinct to the normal usage in the product line. By adopting the infrared lattice and the appropriate recognition algrithom, the MCU is able to detect the status of traffic flow in complicated circumstance, easily and economically. All this enables to improve the real time information of traffic condition, furthter to instruct...
The rapid development of economy promotes the acceleration of urbanization, but in many cities, especially in the medium-sized city, traffic problem has become the bottleneck of restricting the development.This paper analyses the causes of the medium-sized city traffic accidents and existing problems of the road planning, construction, road traffic management ,and proposed herein with measures for...
The concentrations of BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, m,p -xylenes and o-xylene) were monitored at roadsides of three kinds of urban road (open road, cross road and street canyon) in Beijing during 2008-2009. Each sampling was taken with the change of traffic volume at 7:30, 11:30, 14:30 and 17:30. Air samples were pre-concentrated on Tenax-TA tubes, which were analyzed by a GC system coupled with FID in...
Statistical data shows that a driver who was lack of the ability to discover potential risk situation and safe driving awareness was more probably to cause an accident. The safe driving awareness was considered as a factor in contributing to vehicle crashes. In this study, a creative method to improve safety awareness based on driving simulator was proposed. Firstly, the definition and classification...
Researched on the characteristic of the traffic flow, a new method of abnormal data detection on traffic flow based on the curve-fitting is presented. First, the historical data on traffic flow are divided into the traffic flow with high speed and the traffic flow with low speed by the clustering analysis. Then, the algorithm on the determination safety zone scope is obtained by the curve-fitting...
Traffic congestion has been a long-held social problem because of the increasing number of vehicles. In this paper, we apply a pheromone model to a traffic signal control in order to alleviate the traffic congestion. The pheromone model is a tool to communicate among insects (e.g., ants) for their crowd action. In our target problem, the pheromone is strewed by vehicles in a trail across the road...
Under the emergency accidents, implementation of the rescue measures is directly related to the traffic state identification. However, lacking of information collecting caused by road damage would lead to the results of identification by conventional fixed detector had a larger deviation. Although the existing way of probe vehicle with a large coverage area but also from an environmental impact, the...
A new floating car data technology in Hefei has been developed that provides real-time traffic information within Hefei's two ring road. It is based on the collection of localisation data, speed, direction of travel and time information from GPS in vehicles that are being driven. The scope of the project is to development and creation of a Web-based data mart for the collection of FCD. The aim of...
Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) make use of wireless communication technologies to provide traffic efficiency and road safety without altering the existing road infrastructure. To really impact on traffic management, ITS should act in real-time, requiring updated traffic information; hence, the collection of small amounts of information frequently transmitted from a high number of vehicles...
