Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (Ivhs) Issues and Recommendations

author

Abstract:

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 paper examines the different macro level issues such as socioeconomic, legislative, financial, environmental and international as well as micro level issues such as insurance and liability related to IVHS. It then identifies the obstacles that potentially hinder the implementation and growth of IVHS. After examining the implications of these issues it attempts to make suitable recommendations to help resolve different IVHS issues. The issues concerning the applicability of IVHS in developing countries are also examined in light of the current situation and suggestions on the applicability of specific technology areas are included.

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...

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...

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...

Traffic control and intelligent vehicle highway systems: A survey

Traffic congestion in highway networks is one of the main issues to be addressed by today’s traffic management schemes. Automation combined with the increasing market penetration of on-line communication, navigation, and advanced driver assistance systems will ultimately result in intelligent vehicle highway systems (IVHS) that distribute intelligence between roadside infrastructure and vehicle...

Intelligent Vehicle / Highway System: a Survey

Traffic congestion in the largest cities of the world is a growing problem that has to be taken into account seriously, not only by governments, but also by the private sector. After an extensive survey in the field of Intelligent Vehicle / Highway System (IVHS), different alternatives are analyzed to solve this dilemma and the concept of Intelligent Vehicle / Highway System is proposed as the ...
