This report has been prepared by Mitretek systems for the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office Of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The report documents the first phase of an investigation of how to " mainstream " , or integrate, ITS planning into general transportation planning at the state, regional and local levels. Specifically described are the processes b...

one component of intelligent transportation systems, IV systems use sensing and intelligent algorithms to understand the vehicle’s immediate environment, either assisting the driver or fully controlling the vehicle. Following the success of information-oriented systems, IV systems will likely be the “next wave” for ITS, functioning at the control layer to enable the driver–vehicle “subsystem” t...

This paper presents the essential temporal data constructs necessary in providing solutions for transportation applications that use dynamic data, such as facility management systems, safety and incident management, transportation planning, emergency management, and intelligent transportation systems. These temporal data constructs are categorized as time stamps, temporal topology and temporal ...

Rapid developments of mobile technologies, data acquisition and big data analytics, and their integration with critical application domains such as transportation systems have the potential to produce more efficient, real-time, intelligent and safe transportation infrastructure. To increase the quality of transportation services, wireless sensor networks, mobile phones, crowd sourcing, RFID and...

Optimization plays an important role in most real world applications that support decision makers to take the right decision regarding the strategic directions and operations of the system they manage. Solutions for traffic management and traffic congestion problems are considered major problems that most decision making authorities for cities around the world are looking for. This review paper...

accurate and correct performance of controller in cruise control systems is important. hence, in such systems, controller should optimize itself against noise and probable changes in system dynamic. as a matter of fact, in this article three approaches have been conducted to-ward this purpose: mit, direct estimation and indirect estimation. these approaches are used as controllers to track refe...

Intelligent transportation clouds could provide Services such as autonomy, mobility, decision support and the standard development Environment for traffic management strategies, and so on. With mobile agent technology, an urban-traffic management system based on Agent-Based Distributed and Adaptive Platforms for Transportation Systems (Adapts) is both feasible and effective. However, the large-...
