The traffic signals available in the present are based on the static feed of time without considering the actual available traffic. This leads to a situation where vehicles wait unnecessarily in one of the lanes while the traffic flow is not up to the considerable amount in the other lane. This paper provides a system to monitor the traffic flow automatically in traffic signals where video came...

in this paper, we present a novel algorithm for vanet using cloud computing. we accomplish processing, routing and traffic control in a centralized and parallel way by adding one or more server to the network. each car or node is considered a client, in such a manner that routing, traffic control, getting information from client and data processing and storing are performed by one or more serve...

the lane change maneuver is among the most popular driving behaviors. it is also the basic element of important maneuvers like overtaking maneuver. therefore, it is chosen as the focus of this study and novel multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system models (manfis) are proposed for this behavior. these models are able to simulate and predict the future behavior of a driver...

A fundamental aspect of general reasoning about physical systems is qualitative reasoning about continuous processes. The situation calculus is proposed as a framework for qualitative reasoning with some desirable properties that are less evident in the traditional framework, qualitative physics. However, in order to handle qualitative reasoning about continuous properties, we extend the concur...

A narrative is a course of real events about which we might have incomplete information. Formalisms for reasoning about action may be broadly divided into those which are narrative-based, such as the Event Calculus of Kowalski and Sergot, and those which reason on the level of hypothetical sequences of actions, in particular the Situation Calculus. This paper bridges the gap between these types...

Concurrent events are treated merely by not forbidding them. Narrative is treated as a collection of situations and events and relations among them. Narrative is easier than planning, because it does not require that the effects of events be guaranteed. Prediction is harder than planning, because it requires that the actions be inferred from the motives of the actors.

We consider the problem of planning in complex domains where actions are stochastic, non-instantaneous, may occur concurrently, and time is represented explicitly. Our approach is based on the situation calculus based language Golog. Instead of general search for a sequence of actions, as in classical planning, we consider the problem of computing a deterministic, sequential program (with stoch...

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...

Recently, there has been a growing demand and interest in developing methods for analyzing smartphone logs to extract traffic safety information. Because the log is high time resolution and closely related to user activities but fragmentary and myopic, it is difficult for currently available collision probability based quantitative risk assessment methods to create traffic safety maps automatic...

We are developing a novel framework, PRIDE (PRediction In Dynamic Environments), to perform moving object prediction for unmanned ground vehicles. The underlying concept is based upon a multi-resolutional, hierarchical approach that incorporates multiple prediction algorithms into a single, unifying framework. The lower levels of the framework utilize estimation-theoretic short-term predictions...
