One of the main goals of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is economical profit in the form of fuel consumption reduction, efficient use of existing infrastructure, pollution reduction and so on. Certainly, the economical goal is not the only one. Increasing mobility, safety and passenger comfort are other very strong motivations for implementation of ITS in practice. The paper analyzes ...

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are increasingly being deployed in work zones to improve traffic operations and safety. Also known as Smart Work Zone Systems, these deployments provide real-time information to travelers, monitor traffic conditions, and manage incidents. Despite numerous ITS deployments in work zones, a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of these deployments doe...

ABSTRACT Integrating individual intelligent transportation systems into comprehensive platforms is a key challenge faced by transport authorities in the provision of optimal services to users. The use of an ITS architecture encourages structured development and integration of ITS systems that leads to maximization of benefits by minimizing redundancies and maximizing capabilities. This paper pr...

The last few years have seen the emergence of many new technologies that can potentially have major impacts on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). One of these technologies is a micro-electromechanical device called smartdust. A smartdust device (or a mote) is typically composed of a processing unit, some memory, and a radio chip, which allows it to communicate wirelessly with other motes...

In this paper, a scheme is outlined within which the autonomous vehicles in an intelligent transportation system exchange information about their environment. Benefiting from each other’s experiences, the vehicles can locally adapt their behaviour in order to perform the desired flexible adjustments of the overall system behaviour. Based on the vehicles’ shared knowledge, an exploration and pla...

An Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is a system based on wireless communications which has been investigated for many years in order to provide new technologies able to improve safety and efficiency of road transportation with integrated vehicle and road systems. It combines all aspects of technology and systems design concepts in order to develop and improve transportation system of all...

This paper identifies issues related to the service design process in an advanced distributed Intelligent Network environment. Starting from the fundamental definition of the Intelligent Network Conceptual Model (INCM) it highlights its basic, intrinsic properties and underlying assumptions. In an effort to enhance the traditional IN architecture with distributed, object oriented features, it i...

This article presents the theoretical basis for modeling univariate traffic condition data streams as seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average processes. This foundation rests on the Wold decomposition theorem and on the assertion that a one-week lagged first seasonal difference applied to discrete interval traffic condition data will yield a weakly stationary transformation. Moreover,...

The paper is focusing on transportation system architecture for intelligent management, especially in sea transport and transportation technology. Moreover control models of large-scale distributed enterprises systems and transport active knowledge base management model have been presented.
