DATEX II has been developed to provide a standardized way of communication and exchange of traffic information and it plays an important role for implementing integrated Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in Europe. This standard is suggested for providing information services for safe and secure truck parking places which is considered one of the priority in the ITS Action Plan. The novelty...
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs), known for their easy maneuvering, greater flexibility and low costs, are promised to be an excellent aerial sensor for transportation applications. It could be an effective airborne surveillance system for rapid deployment with low cost. UAVs are very flexible and fast compared to the normal road traffic monitoring techniques. In addition,...
Research on vehicular networks has increased for more than a decade, however, the maturity of involved technologies has been recently reached and standards/specifications in the area are being released these days. Although there are a number of protocols and network architecture proposals in the literature, above all in the Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) domain, most of them lack from realistic...
The US Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Southeast Michigan Connected Vehicle Test Bed originally hosted USDOT Proof of Concept Testing (POC), starting in 2007. Following the success of the POC, the USDOT initiated the development of a Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture (CVRIA), and in 2013 began the final design and trial implementation of the CVRIA at the USDOT's Southeast...
Electronic toll collection (ETC) with combined information and communication technology has become a major concern in the intelligent transportation systems. In this paper, an efficient design of ETC system is proposed, which incorporates automatic vehicle classification, identification, and violation enforcement. In the proposed design, to enhance the level of security in data communication, a two...
Automotive networking on US highways is moving into high gear. Smart cars, connected vehicles, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET), and vehicle telematics represent parallel and overlapping technologies and services that will define the future of the American roadway systems. The integration of computing technology and expanding communication services is driving...
Vehicular networking is an enabling technology for intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Different types of vehicular traffic applications are currently being investigated. In this paper we briefly introduce the communication requirements of a cooperative adaptive cruise control (C-ACC) vehicular traffic efficiency application. Furthermore, we propose a channel busy time model to evaluate the...
Vehicular ad hoc networking is an important component of Intelligent Transportation Systems. The main benefit of vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) communication is seen in active safety systems that increase passenger safety by exchanging warning messages between vehicles. Other applications and private services are also permitted in order to lower the cost and to encourage VANET deployment and adoption...
The adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has made possible to experience levels of visibility, control and connectivity across the entire supply chain never experienced before. However, in road transport logistics, which represents the largest market share of freight transport modes, wireless ICT applications like cellular networks, Wi-Fi, UMTS, 4G and WiMax have not entirely...
In this paper, we present an architecture for security and access control in Intelligent Transportation Systems. The applicability of the proposed architecture is demonstrated by developing a case-study based on CVIS(collaborative vehicle infrastructure system). The proposed framework ensures maximum security for the communication infrastructure by implementing access control at both the data link...
The research intends to develop the object detection and counting system using image processing. Overall works are software development of a system that requires a video stream or single image. They consist of the following components: background without any moving objects and the scene with moving objects. The system is designed to find the differentiation which is the moving objects and find the...
Traffic congestion on major roadways costs our nation billions of dollars in lost earnings, wasted fuel consumption, injury and loss of human life. Providing motorists with real time roadway conditions is essential to mitigating traffic congestion. We propose a novel real-time messaging system that can be used to communicate imminent traffic conditions to motorists. Having such information can allow...
