Evaluation of Inter-jurisdictional Cooperation Strategies for Atms/atis Deployment

Triceps / Cartesius: an Atms Testbed Implementation for the Evaluation of Inter-jurisdictional Traffic Management Strategies

2 ABSTRACT This paper describes the initial testing and evaluation of one of the key components of the Testbed Real-time Integrated Control and Evaluation Prototype System (TRICEPS). TRICEPS is a software platform that facilitates the implementation and evaluation of a wide range of algorithms for traffic control and Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS). TRICEPS supports research a...

Linking ATIS/ATMS and Environmental Plume Dispersion Models

Recent legislation, which links federal funding with the successful demonstration that emission standards will be met, have caused traffic engineers to become increasingly concerned with the monitoring, control, and mitigation of air-borne pollutants produced by automobiles. In order to reduce the level of these emissions, many traffic engineers are considering the application of a variety of A...

Incident Management, FAST-TRAC Phase IIB Deliverables

Selecting the most appropriate traffic control strategy for incident congestion management can have a major impact on the extent and duration of the resulting congestion. This research investigated the effective-nesses of several control strategies on various incident conditions. The selected control strategies representing possible ITS technologies included traffic metering (ATMS), traffic div...

Framework for Evaluation of Communication System Loading for ATIS and ATMS Applications

BusView and Transit Watch: an Update on Two Products from the Seattle SMART TREK Model Deployment Initiative

The Seattle model deployment initiative has created a new technology for data sharing in an ITS environment. This technology, the ITS Backbone that uses Self Describing Data (http:/ /www.its.washington.edu/bbone/), creates a framework in which to build applications. These applications use Self Describing Data (SDD) to obtain real-time data over the Internet to perform functions ranging from ATM...
