We wrote a computer program which gives driving directions in northern New Jersey. Its data base combines a street map and a telephone book, so requests like “give directions from the Lackawanna Diner to the nearest dry cleaner’* (properly specified) can be answered. This problem involves both human factors and algorithmic problems. From the human factors standpoint, what kind of route is best:...

Frontage roads are most frequently used in rural and urban environments along freeway and full-controlled principal arterial corridors. Their primary function is to distribute and collect traffic between local streets and interchanges. They have been the primary design solution for providing access along Texas rural freeways and full-controlled principal arterials. With the growing public deman...

One of the important items of highway information has been, and probably will always be, who should pay how much of the cost of building and maintaining roads and streets. Of similar importance is the question where should we spend the money collected in taxes for highways. Each year the highway officials at every government level have more roads which need to be rebuilt or maintained than avai...

In the United States, government and commercial entities have begun investigating sharing the 3550– 3650 MHz military Radar band. However, proposed exclusion zones that limit the interference to and from these S-band radars would severely restrict the usefulness of this band. The key to ensuring successful sharing is robust interference predictions based on accurate and reliable propagation mod...

We analyze the spatially distributed impacts of transport investment in urban highways and public with a novel methodology based on capabilities online technology to replicate (unobserved) condition without highways. This is upon intensive use Google Maps API (GMA) obtain travel times between each origin-destination pair at highly detailed level reveal effects new infrastructure different zones...

As a subsystem of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), an Advanced Traveller Information System (ATIS) disseminates real-time traffic information to travellers. This paper analyses traffic flows data, describes methodology of traffic flows data processing and visualization in digital ArcGIS online maps. Calculation based on real time traffic data from equipped traffic sensors in Vilnius ...

The paper presents the work in progress to use the digital data of the Authoritative Topographic Cartographic Information System (ATKIS), the geobase information system of the German national mapping agencies, to automatically deduce location maps. It is possible to render location maps in different ways. First of all there is to differentiate between a textual and a graphic kind of route descr...

Recent years have seen a significant increase in the number of applications requiring accurate and up-to-date spatial data. In this context crowdsourced maps such as OpenStreetMap (OSM) have the potential to provide a free and timely representation of our world. However, one factor that negatively influences the proliferation of these maps is the uncertainty about their data quality. This paper...
