In the densely populated urban area traffic control system is the main mechanism to control the flow of vehicular traffic at the intersection. Conventional traffic control system are not capable of handling dynamic vehicular flow. This dynamic vehicular flow creates traffic jams , congestion at the intersection. Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a common part of Intelligent Transport System (...

unlike the typical stage-based policy commonly applied in Japan, the group-based control (often called movement-based in the traffic control industry in Japan) refers to such a control pattern that the controller is capable of separately allocating time to each signal group instead of stage based on traffic demand. in order to investigate its applicability at signalized intersections in Japan, ...

In accordance with the increase of vehicles recently, traffic congestion has become a serious problem. In urban areas, almost all traffic congestion occurs at intersections. Intersections can be classified into three types according to the number of roads meeting at the intersection: T-junction (3-way intersection), Crossroads (4-way intersection), and Multi-way intersection (more than 4 ways)....

As computers inevitably begin to replace humans as the drivers of automobiles, our current human-centric traffic management mechanisms will give way to hyper-efficient systems and protocols specifically designed to exploit the capabilities of fully autonomous vehicles. We have introduced such a system for coordinating large numbers of autonomous vehicles at intersections [4, 5]. Our experiments...

This paper studies traffic variable estimation, and presents a method of estimation for the number of vehicle waiting for queue (NVWQ) based on neuro-fuzzy at urban intersection. we present results of training the neural network for a detectorized intersection in Changsha City. The accuracy of NVWQ estimation using the fuzzy neural networks approaches is more than 90%. The fuzzy neural networks...

Original scientific paper Urban road intersections are bottle-necks of urban road networks, and the traffic organization optimization of intersections is the crux to relieve urban traffic jam. After analysing the features, applicable conditions and functions of the intersection channelization design, the basic procedures based on traffic survey, channelization design of the intersections and as...

Vehicular traffic is the major problem which every country faces because of the increase in number of vehicles throughout the world, especially in large urban areas. In a conventional traffic light controller, the traffic lights change at fixed time. It does not provide an optimal solution. Many traffic light controllers implemented in current practice, are based on the 'time-of-the-day' scheme...

In order to enhance the security of automotive safety systems and reduce traffic accidents in traffic lights intersection, In view of this, it is proposed to apply the distance measurement technology of binocular vision ranging in determination of preceding vehicle motion state at the traffic lights intersection, We study the determination of preceding vehicle motion state at the traffic lights...

BACKGROUND This study examined the impact of transportation infrastructure at intersection and non-intersection locations on bicycling injury risk. METHODS In Vancouver and Toronto, we studied adult cyclists who were injured and treated at a hospital emergency department. A case-crossover design compared the infrastructure of injury and control sites within each injured bicyclist's route. Int...

This paper presents a methodology for the coordination ofmultiple robotic agents moving from one location to another in an environment embedded with a network of agents, placed at strategic locations such as intersections. These intersection agents, communicate with robotic agents and also with each other to route robots in a way as to minimize the congestion, thus resulting in the continuous f...
