This paper demonstrates the requirement of smart tolling systems for smart highway. In smart highway operators and drivers would be able to see in real time the information of traffic. The smart highway is next generation road aimed at Congestion Free, Stop Free and Accident Free through traffic information services. This study defines requirements and functions for development of smart tolling...

In this paper we modify our unsupervised anomaly detection algorithm [1,2] and apply it to highway traffic anomaly analysis. We propose a method to identify anomalies under a probabilistic framework. Instead of determining anomalies based on the size of each cluster, they are determined in a probabilistic framework. Moreover, we present our findings on using different features when analyzing re...

The operation and transit of emergency vehicles on an automated highway system (AHS) designed under the control architecture proposed in the California Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways (PATH) program is described. The term emergency vehicles is used in a general sense to describe vehicles, such as police cars, ambulances, and tow trucks, that may service faults inside or outside the A...

IN T R O D U C T IO N The highway problem has been the subject of considerable discus­ sion during the past few years and has assumed proportions subject to national concern. This Road School is, in fact, a discussion of this Number One domestic problem. The interest of almost every individual in highways and their operation is increasing, and each year more high­ way technology is made availab...

The intelligent and self-adaptive urban traffic signal control (TSC) system has become a development trend of intelligent transportation system (ITS). The most city dwellers are concerned with the urban traffic issues very much. So, to provide a self awareness and adaptive facilities in traffic signal control system is become more and more urgent. However, many roadway and traffic applications ...

Recent research in automated highway systems has ranged from low-level vision-based controllers to highlevel route-guidance software. However there is currently no system for tactical-level reasoning. Such a system should address tasks such as passing cars, making exits on time, and merging into a traffic stream. Our approach to this intermediate-level planning combines a distributed reasoning ...

This paper focuses on the multi-agent highway traffic simulation. It provides a realistic modeling with high fidelity continuous vehicle movement incorporating physical dynamics of the vehicles. The deliberative agent part of the system enables to implement and evaluate complex cooperation and coordination algorithms. The paper presents the architecture and implemented simulator for evaluation ...

Safe handling of dynamic highway and inner city scenarios with autonomous vehicles involves the problem of generating traffic-adapted trajectories. In order to account for the practical requirements of the holistic autonomous system, we propose a semi-reactive trajectory generation method, which can be tightly integrated into the behavioral layer. The method realizes long-term objectives such a...

Cross-sectional analyses were conducted to evaluate the effects of exposure to highway traffic on pulmonary function in Fresno, California. Traffic and spirometry data were available for 214 children (enrollment ages six to 11 years). Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the relations between pulmonary function and traffic parameters. Heavy-duty vehicle count was used as a surrogate ...

Traffic supervision usually means the traffic work of police. Most people agree that traffic supervision is very important in preventing traffic accidents. Police activity, as it relates to highway safety, is a primary consideration in this paper. Perhaps traffic supervision may best be described as the elastic or flexible element in traffic safety programs— the work that fills in the gaps and ...
