86 1094-7167/03/$17.00 © 2003 IEEE IEEE INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS The first large-scale application of computerized signal control systems, Torontonians brag, was in Metropolitan Toronto during the early 1960s. More recently, changeable-messagesign driver information systems (such as COMPASS, www. mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/compass) for freeway control have been introduced in the Greater Toronto...

With the development of social economy and city urbanization, city road traffic network has developed rapidly, great convenience for people's travel, but also led to a sharp increase in traffic demand. The direct consequence is the rapid expansion of traffic flow, traffic-jam, the city has becoming increasingly serious, frequent traffic accidents. The worsening traffic environment has become a ...

the health industry’s supply chain is full of uncertainty and unpredictability. thus, building an intelligent system to effectively capture the requirements of customers and help manage the supply chain is very important. despite artificial intelligence widespread acceptance as a decision-aid tool, ai has seen limited application in supply chain management. to fully exploit the potential benefi...

The integration of Wireless technologies, GIS and sensors, has opened new possibilities of developing an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The face of ITS are changing with modern applications like Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS), Route Guidance Systems (RGS), Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), Performance Monitoring and Congestion management etc. An effective Intel...

Infrared communication in the wavelength band 780950 nm is very suitable for short-range point-to-point communications. It is a good choice for vehicle-to-vehicle communication in several intelligent-transportation-system (ITS) applications such as cooperative driving, collision warning, and pileup-crash prevention. In this paper, with the aid of a physical model established in our previous wor...

In recent years, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been increasingly involved in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) optimization, especially in dynamic management of signalized intersections. This paper discusses the state of art and shows an IEEE 802.15.4 network architecture to monitor vehicular traffic flows near to a traffic light. The architecture is characterized by an innovative a...

Nowadays, outsourcing is viewed as a trade strategy and organizations tend to adopt new strategies to achieve competitive advantages in the current world of business. focusing on main copmpetencies, and transferring most of activities to outside resources of organization( outsourcing) is one such strategy is. In this paper, we aim to decide on decision maker agent of transportation system, by a...

Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a flexible, high performance rapid transit mode that combines facilities, equipment, service and intelligent transportation system (ITS) elements into a permanently integrated system with a quality image and unique identity. Vehicles are an extremely important component of BRT systems, because they not only contribute significantly to BRT’s image and identity, but als...

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...
