The advances in wireless communication techniques, mobile cloud computing, automotive and intelligent terminal technology are driving the evolution of vehicle ad hoc networks into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) paradigm. This leads to a change in the vehicle routing problem from a calculation based on static data towards real-time traffic prediction. In this paper, we first address the taxonomy...

This study proposed a real-time inductive loop signature based vehicle reidentification approach, RTREID-2M, which improved the previously developed RTREID-2 algorithm on two aspects: (1) Develop a cubic spline data imputation approach to replace the existing linear data imputation approach in order to improve the raw signature data quality; (2) Improve the time window setting for vehicles on H...

This paper compares four transportation energy conservation strategies using a comprehensive evaluation framework that takes into account how each strategy affects annual vehicle travel, and therefore mileage-related impacts such as traffic congestion, road and parking facility costs, and crashes. These mileage-related impacts tend to be large in magnitude compared with energy conservation bene...

In-vehicle route guidance systems have seen great development in recent years. They have become an important tool in alleviating congestion in the urban transportation network. As a result of the advantages associated with navigation techniques and popularized digital maps, in-vehicle guidance systems are both economical and useful. In-vehicle route guidance systems are being accepted by more a...

All files separate from this main document file are accessible from links (blue type) in the table of contents or the body of the document. Executive Summary Introduction One of the most compelling reasons for investment in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services is to realize a reduction in traffic congestion...

Aiming at addressing the high level of congestion due to the increasing number of vehicles on roads worldwide, Driver Support Systems (DSS) have been proposed to assist drivers on the road by improving safety, efficiency and comfort in the driving experience. One important benefit of deploying such systems is that by aiding drivers in traversing traffic congestion on highways and consequently h...

The authors have been engaged in research and development of “AHS for smoother traffic” as countermeasures utilizing Advanced cruise-assist Highway System. As part of this work, they have reviewed a “Service to adjust lane utilization rates” which aims at reducing congestion, adjusting the balance of lane utilization by providing drivers with appropriate information in sag sections just before ...

This paper presents the results of a field experiment carried out to assess the accuracy and efficiency of a new in-vehicle navigation algorithm, whose aim is to incorporate and consider travel time reliability and route the guided vehicle along uncongested roads, in the absence of real-time traffic information. Using historical travel time profiles deduced from floating vehicle data, the algor...
