In recent years, feature based object detection has attracted increasing attention in computer vision research community. However, to our best knowledge, no previous work has focused on utilizing local binary pattern (LBP) for vehicle detection in intelligent transportation system (ITS) domain. In this paper, we develop a novel traffic monitoring system based on N-LBP algorithm, which is the new LBP...
Moving vehicle detection based on computer vision is an important aspect in the application of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). How to get the accurate parameters of the vehicle in real-time, especially in complicated background situation is very critical. In this paper an improved detection algorithm of moving vehicle is proposed. According to the characteristics of some present detection...
Intelligent Transportation system (ITS) using wireless and mobile ad-hoc sensor network has inspired many autonomous applications. Vehicular Ad-hoc network (VANET) is an emerging technology where vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communicate wirelessly using dedicated short-range communication band. In sensor based VANET (S-VANET) issues like response time, data aging, bandwidth,...
Traffic congestion is a serious problem which traffic engineers all over the world are trying to solve. Congestion increases the uncertainty in travel times leading to human stress and unsafe traffic situations. Better management of traffic through intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications, especially by predicting the congestion on various roads and informing the travelers regarding the...
In this paper we present a fastest path algorithm that contains multiple unique destinations, which is a specialization of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) with intermediate cities. This algorithm can be used with Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications for determining the fastest route to travel to a set of destinations, such as required by delivery companies. The dynamic behavior...
The evolution of electronics and the growing capabilities of in-vehicle and public infrastructure equipments make feasible the development of new value added services in the field of intelligent transportation systems. However, initiatives in this sense frequently failed due to the lack of agreement or coordination among service providers, public authorities and final users. This paper proposes a...
It is a common belief among researchers of the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) community that ITS applications are the key to make transportation systems safer, more comfortable, and more efficient, while reducing the environmental impact. However, there seems to be a gap between ITS community and final users. It cannot be assumed that the advantages of ITS are clear to the users, and we...
Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are important component for the development of Intelligent Transportation System. Due to the features of VANET, data dissemination is an important issue that has to be addressed. In this paper we propose a direction based clustering algorithm for data dissemination. This protocol is used to estimate the density of vehicles on a given road. As in any clustering algorithm,...
This study presents an effective system for detecting and tracking moving vehicles in nighttime traffic scene for traffic surveillance. The proposed method identifies vehicles based on detecting and locating vehicle headlights and taillights by using the techniques of image segmentation and pattern analysis. First, to effectively extract bright objects of interest, a fast bright-object segmentation...
This research aims at the bus holding strategies for the simulation of mass rapid transit (MRT) transferring system in a terminal station with platform constraints for bus in the metropolitan area. We developed and evaluated the transfer system through computer simulation models for MRT with bus system that the goals of bus holding strategies in the model were: reduce bus waiting time, reduce passengers...
Many road safety applications and those with critical performance restrictions (such as satellite based electronic fee collection) demand from the onboard navigation systems, on the one hand, positions referred to a local map, and on the other hand, an indicator of the quality of these positions, the so called integrity. The map-matched positions are commonly estimated in two separated phases: firstly,...
Traffic incident detection is one of the most important issues for intelligent transportation systems (ITS), especially in urban area which is full of signaled intersections. This paper presents the development of a novel traffic incident detection system based on image signal processing, feature extraction algorithms, and hidden Markov model (HMM) classifier. First, a traffic surveillance system...
Herein we present an ITS framework to provide timely and accurate ITS forecast with the assistance of GIS (Geographic Information System) and an active sensory system. Urban settlements can be viewed as a collection of street regulators acting like points of flow control. Cars are affected in their travel performance when queuing up through these traffic controllers. These flow regulators can be defined...
This paper presents a measuring procedure for vehicle RCS estimation at 77 GHz. The RCS measurements were performed on a Ford Focus Break model vehicle and a Peugeot 206 and are presented in function of the relative angular position of the vehicles with respect to the radar system.
Stand-alone cameras or CCTV networks are nowadays commonly present in public areas such as city centers, stores and more recently in transportation infrastructures. In the meantime, automatic processing of video data is a field of activity stirring up the utmost attention in the pattern recognition community; state-of-the-art advances in this area enable the reliable extraction of features and the...
