A method for creating a real-time, distributed travel history database: the PTC project
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel, distributed method for estimating a trip table in real time is described. The system is called persistent traffic cookies, or PTC, by analogy with the use of cookies by webservers to keep track of the current state web browsers navigating a web site. The method uses traffic cookies placed on in-vehicle computers to maintain the state (current trip) of vehicles moving through the system. These cookies are persistent from day to day; taken together they form a complete travel history for a traveler or vehicle. The method leverages the vehicles themselves to store their own travel data, and then physically carry that data around the network. Advantages include scalability in both storage and computational effort, as well as the unique ability to incorporate the travel behavior of individuals into real-time traffic predictions. A small scale simulation is presented to illustrate the concept and its potential applications. Marca, Rindt, and Jayakrishnan 2

Self-Starting Control Chart and Post Signal Diagnostics for Monitoring Project Earned Value Management Indices
Earned value management (EVM) is a well-known approach in a project control system which uses some indices to track schedule and cost performance of a project. In this paper, a new statistical framework based on self-starting monitoring and change point estimation is proposed to monitor correlated EVM indices which are usually auto-correlated over time and non-normally distributed. Also, a new ...
متن کاملValue of Travel Time :Theoretical and Empirical Method
The value of travel time savings (VTTS) is the monetary value attached to save a determined amount of travel time. VTTS is also the most important benefit category aimed at justifying investments in transport infrastructures by public administrations. Hence VTTS played a significant role in various economic studies, both analytical and empirical (Zamparini & Reggiani, 2007). "It is difficult to...
متن کاملA Trust Based Probabilistic Method for Efficient Correctness Verification in Database Outsourcing
Correctness verification of query results is a significant challenge in database outsourcing. Most of the proposed approaches impose high overhead, which makes them impractical in real scenarios. Probabilistic approaches are proposed in order to reduce the computation overhead pertaining to the verification process. In this paper, we use the notion of trust as the basis of our probabilistic app...

Utilization is one of the main managerial factors that is applied for construction process analysis well. It directly affects the project duration and construction costs. Therefore, a utilization study in tunneling projects is essential. In this work, the utilization of an earth pressure balance Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) in Tabriz urban railway project was studied using the Monte Carlo simula...
متن کاملFinding the nearest facility for travel and waiting time in a transport network
One of user's queries from navigation service is to find the nearest facility in terms of time. The facility that is being questioned by the user as a destination may have a queuing service system (e.g. bank), which means that the cost function of the shortest path includes the waiting time at the destination as well as the travel time. This research conducts in the zone 1 of Mashhad with Bank ...
