In the near future, vehicles, travelers, and the transportation infrastructure will collectively have millions of sensors that can communicate with each other. This environment will enable numerous new applications and dramatic improvements in the performance of existing applications. Due to their distributed and mobile nature, future transportation systems may become the ultimate testbed for a...

Intelligent transportation system is becoming one of the important means to solve the traffic problem, especially the traffic management problem. The information analysis and decision support are the key points of intelligent transportation system. Because of the deficiencies of the information analysis and decision support system at present, a system model of information analysis and decision ...

Meanwhile computers at a private meteorological service is using data from the National Weather Services and the Arkansas Department of Transportation to produce a highly specific ...

Scientists and Technologists involved in the development of radar and remote sensing systems all over the world are now trying to involve themselves in saving of manpower in the form of developing a new application of their ideas in Intelligent Transport system( ITS). The world statistics shows that by incorporating such wireless radar system in the car would decrease the world road accident by...

—Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) use data and information technology to improve the operation of our transportation network. ITS contributes to sustainable development by using technology to make the transportation system more efficient; improving our environment by reducing emissions, reducing the need for new construction and improving our daily lives through reduced congestion. A ke...

A simulation framework has been developed for a large-scale, comprehensive, scaleable simulation of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The simulator is designed for running on parallel computers and distributed (networked) computer systems, but can run on standalone workstations for smaller simulations. The simulator currently models instrumented "smart" vehicles with in-vehicle naviga...

vehicular ad-hoc network (vanet) is an important component of intelligent transportation systems, in which vehicles are equipped with on-board computing and communication devices which enable vehicle-to-vehicle communication. consequently, with regard to larger communication due to the greater number of vehicles, stability of connectivity would be a challenging problem. clustering technique as ...

This report has been prepared by Mitretek systems for the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office Of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The report documents the first phase of an investigation of how to " mainstream " , or integrate, ITS planning into general transportation planning at the state, regional and local levels. Specifically described are the processes b...

Over the last decades we verified a huge intensification of human, financial, resource and power flow throughout the world economy. This phenomenon, called as globalization, affects goods and passenger movement, and demands the availability of connections, such as communications and transportation, providing citizens wider options and mobility. Nowadays there is a saturation of transportation i...

This paper describes a binocular vision-based pedestrian recognition System. The basic components of pedestrians are first located in the image and then combined with a SVM-based classifier. This poses the problem of pedestrian detection and recognition in real, cluttered road images. Candidate pedestrians are located using a subtractive clustering attention mechanism. A distributed learning ap...
