Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) is a well-known microscopic model of traffic flow within the traffic engineering societies. While it is a powerful technique for modeling traffic flows, the Intelligent Driver Model lacks the potential of accommodating the notion of drivers’ heterogeneous behavior whenever they are on roads. Concerning the above mentioned, this paper takes the lane to recognize th...

Short term traffic flow prediction has become one of the important research fields in intelligent transportation system. The prediction of this traffic flow information quickly and accurately is important for traffic control and guidance to initiate the measuring steps well in advance. It makes the transport users better informed and makes the transport network smarter, safer and more coordinat...

Traffic congestion in urban road networks is a costly problem that affects all major cities in developed countries. To tackle this problem, it is possible (i) to act on the supply side, increasing the number of roads or lanes in a network, (ii) to reduce the demand, restricting the access to urban areas at specific hours or to specific vehicles, or (iii) to improve the efficiency of the existin...

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the powerful impact of an innovative intelligent autonomous mission planner/controller for networked multiple manned/unmanned autonomous vehicles which is applicable to the Future Combat System (FCS), Future Force Warrior (FFW), Future Special Operations Forces (SOF) systems, Land Warrior, and Homeland Defense. For the intelligent vehicles, which co...
