Visual Tracking for Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems

The complexity and congestion of current transportation systems often produce traffic situations that jeopardize the safety of the people involved. These situations vary from maintaining a safe distance behind a leading vehicle to safely allowing a pedestrian to cross a busy street. Environmental sensing plays a critical role in virtually all of these situations. Of the sensors available, visio...

Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (Ivhs) Issues and Recommendations

Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) is the integration of various pieces of information and computer technologies to the transportation elements in order to obtain a more productive transportation system. The five major components of IVHS are the Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), Advanced Vehicle Control Systems (AVCS), and Advanced Public Transportation systems (APTS). This pa...

Prediction and Simulation Models for Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems

Congestion on highways is becoming a bigger problem every day. With the increasing need for more highway capacity, which cannot always be met by building new highways, opportunities must be found in state-of-the-art technologies for more efficient traffic management. In this thesis traffic control is studied where the traffic consists solely out of intelligent vehicles arranged in platoons, i.e...

Safety and Social Aspects of Intelligent Vehicle-highway Systems

The use of road tra c as an accepted means of transportation has some unacceptable consequences in the resulting loss of life and damage to the environment. A proposed solution has involved the signi cant employment of digital computers in vehicles and in tra c equipment, collectively known as Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems (or IVHS), and these are overviewed. The paper discusses the probl...
