Motivated by enormous highway-lighting energy consumption, smart lighting development is crucial to better manage available resources. While existing literature focused on ensuring cost-effective lighting, an equally important requirement, namely the visual comfort of motorists, almost disregarded. This article proposes a novel Internet Things-enabled system that can be intelligently controlled...

With the continuing growth of highway construction and vehicle use expansion all over the world, highway vehicle traffic rule violation (TRV) detection has become more and more important so as to avoid traffic accidents and injuries in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Since very few works have contributed to solve the TRV detection problem by movi...

A comparison is drawn between the casualty rates per failure on an automated highway system (AHS) according to the longitudinal control configuration used. It is suggested that the most important failure of this system is one in which brakes fail full on. The inverse failure brakes will not apply—must be avoided by system designers. Incident for incident, it is clearly the more dangerous of the...
