Intelligent Lane Reservation for Highways (Position Paper)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The only way to keep up with the ever-increasing number of cars on roads is through constant change and improvement in the transportation infrastructure. Construction of new roads is constrained by space and financial resources. Therefore, there is a need to devise ways to make optimal use of the existing infrastructure. In this position paper, we describe a lane reservation system for highways. The idea is to allow drivers to reserve a slot on a high-priority lane by paying a premium price. The high-priority lane would provide a guaranteed upper bound on the travel time between any two points on the highway. We describe the design of our system, the challenges that need to be solved and the evaluation methodology we are planning to adopt.

Modeling the Operational Speed of Tangents and Curves in Four-lane Highways Based on Geometric and Roadside Factors
Operational speed is an index that represents drivers’ speeding behaviors and shows the comfort and safety levels they experience. Many models had been proposed to predict operational speed in tangent and curve segments of highways. Most of these works had used geometric, with few of them conducted using roadside variables to predict operational speed. Also, the operational speed study in multi...
متن کاملLearning Cooperative Lane Selection Strategies for Highways
This paper presents a novel approach to traffic management by coordinating driver behaviors. Current traffic management systems do not consider lane organization of the cars and only affect traffic flows by controlling traffic signals or ramp meters. However, drivers should be able to increase traffic throughput and more consistently maintain desired speeds by selecting lanes intelhgently. We p...

| This paper will report new results we have obtained in applying stereo vision algorithms to the problem of autonomous vehicle navigation on highways. The project consists of two parts: lane extraction and obstacle detection. Our lane extraction system is based on a param-eterized model for the appearance of the lanes in the images. This model captures the position, orientation and width of th...
