Short time traffic forecasting is the prediction of traffic parameters like traffic flow into the future to avoid congestions and accidents. A variety of short-time traffic flow forecasting methods have been developed in the last two decades but most of the literatures focus on predicting traffic flow on a single road, not on junctions. However, Junctions are responsible for 80–90% of congestion and...
Despite the significant research efforts and resources spent to alleviate the impact of road traffic congestion on economy, environment and road safety, it is still one of the major unsolved problems of the 21st century. The emergence of smart self-driving vehicles promises a dramatic change in the way road traffic congestion is controlled and mitigated. This can be achieved by enabling efficient...
Existing traffic system follows the method of merely listening traffic signals based on the three colors indicating the direction to the driver. People should listen the signal and follow the traffic rules. Nowadays, people are least bothered about the signal being highlighted leading to drastic conditions like accidents, congestion, traffic blocks etc. to arise. To overcome this problem, the proposed...
In this paper we propose a novel architecture for creating Intelligent Traffic Control Systems (ITCS). The vehicle works in two modes mainly Normal mode and Emergency mode. The signal which will be displayed on the signal poll will be displayed on the vehicle itself for driver's convenience. Here Image processing technique is used to sense the traffic density of every road in the junction and release...
Overtaking (passing) is a high risk maneuver for road users, still drivers often accept this risk and moreover they often commit irregular overtaking maneuvers. The paper gives some overview on the background of traffic violations and irregular overtaking maneuvers. Driver's decisions before and during the irregular overtaking maneuvers are similar to the normal ones, except of the decision about...
Along with advances in technologies and equipment of vehicles with communication devices, vehicular networks were developed. Various applications are proposed and defined for these networks, and as the number of deaths caused by accidents are increasing, safety applications became the most important one. Dynamicity of the nodes in addition to wireless transmission problem cause challenges for disseminating...
The development of automobile navigation system a.k.a car navigation system (CNS) in Malaysia is limited to the development of the basemap only. Until this year (2011), all CNS devices are imported. This paper concentrates on investigation on classification of prohibited manoeuvre in Malaysia to serve as a guideline for CNS map provider in Malaysia. Sanyo CNS unit with a 2007 Klang Valley basemap...
Rapid development in automobile navigation system in Malaysia for the last decade were very much influenced by the growth of its intelligent automation mapping solutions. Then car navigation unit equipped with Malaysia maps can only be bought in Singapore but today users can buy Tokyo automobile navigation maps even in Malaysia. These are patterns showing that Malaysian drivers are relying more on...
In this paper, an approach to solve a flow assignment problem is proposed assuming known the whole trip planning of the fleets. The objective is to minimize both the risk of the network associated to the DG transport flow and the variance of the assigned delivery planning in respect to the expected one. Different simulation tests have been performed to evaluate the goodness of the proposed model,...
Road intersections represent one of the most complex configurations encountered when traversing road networks. A high percentage of accidents occur at these locations. The introduction of wireless communications technologies onboard passenger vehicles is enabling the sharing of information and through it enhancing the situational awareness of vehicle drivers. In this paper the implementation of safety...
Vehicular network became one of the most active and emerging fields of research during last decade. Its use in diversified applications (for example safe driving, congestion avoidance and even entertainment) will soon bring revolutionary changes in transportation system. However, researchers came with different solutions to support different applications of vehicular network. In this paper, we have...
