Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) have the potential to contribute to the solution of the traffic congestion problem. However, for these systems to be effective, the generated strategies should be proactive (i.e. based on predicted traffic conditions) as opposed to reactive, in order to avoid many undesirable effects such as overreaction...

We present a stochastic optimal control approach to wildlife management. The objective value is the present value of hunting and meat, reduced by the present value of the costs of plant damages and traffic accidents caused by the wildlife population. First, general optimal control functions and value functions are derived. Then, numerically specified optimal control functions and value func...

A simulation of integrated air and ground operations was conducted to demonstrate procedures, flight management automation, data link technology, and air traffic control decision support tools for improving Air Traffic Management (ATM) efficiency. Air traffic controllers managed simulated arrival traffic using Center-TRACON Automation System (CTAS) tools. Flight crews in Flight Management Syste...

Dynamic traffic management is an important part of the Dutch transport policy. All kinds of measures have been implemented and assessed on the motorway network, such as the motorway traffic management system with speed limits and queue tail warning, ramp metering, variable message signs, dedicated lanes, peak lanes, incident management, etc. In this paper the focus is on ramp metering, which is...

Intelligent transportation clouds could provide Services such as autonomy, mobility, decision support and the standard development Environment for traffic management strategies, and so on. With mobile agent technology, an urban-traffic management system based on Agent-Based Distributed and Adaptive Platforms for Transportation Systems (Adapts) is both feasible and effective. However, the large-...

Several important management applications, e.g., billing, generate a relatively high volume of traffic which is not delay sensitive. Both the management and the user traffic use the same network infrastructure. However, the management traffic does not yield any immediate benefits for the users, and is thus an overhead from their point of view. In a previous work it was suggested to store such t...

Urban traffic management problems have taken an important place in most of transportation research fields, hence the emergence of vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) as an essential part of the intelligent transportation system ITS, that intervenes to improve and facilitate traffic management also control as far as improve global driving experience in the future. Indeed the concept of smart city o...

Traffic lights play an imperative role in traffic management. Traffic lights play an important role in the traffic management. Existing Automatic Traffic Light Violation Detection System is based on the camera’s to detect the violator. This system has a number of limitations like blurry image due to motion , poor image resolution because the number plate is far away, poor lightening, different ...

This paper presents a solution on the optimization of traffic lights cycle depending on the timeframe by developing a mathematical model. Based on the analysis and processing of data obtained from a traffic lights intersection with intense traffic in Sibiu, was developed a mathematical model that allows an algorithmic approach to programming sequences for ensuring a smooth traffic. The article ...
