The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) provides services related to different modes of transport and traffic management systems with an integration of traffic control centers. Video-Based investigation for traffic surveillance has been a vital part of ITS. The traffic surveillance in urban environment have become more challenging compared to the highways due to various factors like camera ...

Growth of total number of vehicles around the world is increase exponentially during past decade. Traffic monitoring is become a big issue in many countries. In India, Many cities having manned traffic monitoring system. A manned traffic monitoring system has certain issues like availability, accuracy of management staff. In this paper, we study different traffic monitoring system. Each system ...

An ambulance or fire truck arriving a couple of seconds late can be the difference between life and death for some. As different technologies emerge, various approaches to expediting the movement of emergency vehicles have evolved. Horns, sirens and flashing lights were early attempts that are no longer sufficient in most places to clear traffic on the emergency vehicle’s route. In these situat...

Automatic symbolic traffic scene analysis is essential to many areas of IVHS (Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems). Traffic scene information can be used to optimize traffic flow during busy periods, identify stalled vehicles and accidents, and aid the decision-making of an autonomous vehicle controller. Improvements in technologies for machine vision-based surveillance and high-level symbolic ...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the obstacles due to a DPSIR model combined with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process technique. Hence, to prioritize the responses regarding the driving forces, pressures, states and impacts, the hierarchy of the model is established. Evaluations and prioritization of model results of urban transport situation in Tehran have provided a number of necessary issue...

Intelligent vehicle platoon driving is a process of the flexible formation based on the coordination between vehicle and highway in the intelligent vehicle-highway system, which can increase the controllability of traffic, simplify the complexity of traffic control, and ease the traffic pressure. It has been constructed that the intelligent vehicle platoon driving simulation experiment system u...

This article presents a simulation-based framework to model the potential benefits from dynamic vehicle on-line routing in a distributed traffic information system based upon a vehicle-to-vehicle information-sharing architecture. Within this framework, certain vehicles with specific inter-vehicle communication equipment in the traffic network are capable of autonomous traffic surveillance and p...

This paper proposes Travel Prediction-based Data forwarding (TPD), tailored and optimized for multihop vehicle-to-vehicle communications. The previous schemes forward data packets mostly utilizing statistical information about road network traffic, which becomes much less accurate when vehicles travel in a light-traffic vehicular network. In this light-traffic vehicular network, highly dynamic ...

Visual traffic surveillance using computer vision techniques can be noninvasive, automated, and cost effective. Traffic surveillance systems with the ability to detect, count, and classify vehicles can be employed in gathering traffic statistics and achieving better traffic control in intelligent transportation systems. However, vehicle classification poses a difficult problem as vehicles have ...

The jam flow condition is one of the main traffic states in traffic flow theory and the most difficult state for sectional traffic information acquisition. Since traffic information acquisition is the basis for the application of an intelligent transportation system, research on traffic vehicle counting methods for the jam flow conditions has been worthwhile. A low-cost and energy-efficient typ...
