A queue jumper lane is a special bus preferential treatment that combines a short stretch of a special lane with a transit signal priority (TSP) to allow buses to bypass waiting queues of traffic and then to cut out in front of the queue by getting an early green signal. This paper first proposes a signal control design for queue jumper lanes with actuated TSP strategies and then compares its p...

This paper presents a novel lane detection scheme for detecting and tracking various lanes directly from videos in real time. The key contribution of this paper is to propose a new edge labeling scheme for labeling each edge point to different types. Even under different lighting and weather conditions, different lane segments still can be effectively extracted from the labeling result. Only th...

Location is one of the most important information in the industrial world and there are many systems provide location information. GPS is the most universal positioning method. Especially, RTK(Real-Time Kinematic) algorithm is commonly used for ITS(Intelligent Transport System) precise positioning. Moreover, for the ITS, the fundamental requirement is that the positioning system can provide use...

In a new approach to large-scale extraction of facts from unstructured text, distributional similarities become an integral part of both the iterative acquisition of high-coverage contextual extraction patterns, and the validation and ranking of candidate facts. The evaluation measures the quality and coverage of facts extracted from one hundred million Web documents, starting from ten seed fac...

For an automatic co-pilot designed to assist the driver while operating a vehicle on wellmarked or unmarked roads algorithms were developed for recognizing and tracking the driving lane used by the vehicle. A video camera is used as a sensor. Each algorithm has been implemented on one parallel processor of the multiprocessor robot vision system BVV 3. The method of controlled correlation is use...

At some intersections, excessive queue lengths may spill out of the left-turn bay and block the through lanes, jeopardizing level of service for the entire intersection. One of the most effective plans recently presented by the researchers is the "Contraflow left-turn lane" (CLL) In this method, left-turn vehicles will use the nearest lane in the opposite direction in addition to the usual left...

Next-generation sequencing has become an essential tool in molecular biology that has been successfully applied to a broad variety of experimental approaches. While several platforms for next-generation sequencing exist, the most commonly used approach is sequencing-by-synthesis, implemented on Illumina's Genome Analyzer II (GAII) and HiSeq2000 systems. A key constraint of these sequencers is t...

BY XUAN WANG INTRODUCTION For actuated signal control at intersections with multilane approaches, detectors are normally placed in each lane. Two types of traffic detection schemes can be utilized for vehicle detection associated with multiple detectors: single-channel detection and lane-by-lane detection.1 The current single-channel detection method connects detectors in all lanes on an approa...

Lane changes with the intention to overtake the vehicle in front are especially challenging scenarios for forward collision warning (FCW) designs. These overtaking maneuvers can occur at high relative vehicle speeds and often involve no brake and/or turn signal application. Therefore, overtaking presents the potential of erroneously triggering the FCW. A better understanding of lane change even...
