| |PDF (1640 KB) | HTML

This paper devises a freeway controller that is capable of stabilizing traffic flow when the traffic system is in the unstable (congested) phase, in which a shock wave is likely to occur in the presence of any inhomogeneity and where the system is on the verge of a jam condition. Two types of traffic controllers are developed through the use of either a speed command approach that can be implement... View full abstract»

| |PDF (525 KB) | HTML

In-vehicle information systems (IVISs) can enhance or compromise driving safety. Such systems present an array of messages that range from collision warnings and navigation instructions to tire pressure and e-mail alerts. If these messages are not properly managed, the IVIS might fail to provide the driver with critical information, which could undermine safety. In addition, if the IVIS simultaneo...

| |PDF (537 KB) | HTML

This paper deals with the problem of observability of traffic networks, understanding as such the problem of identifying which is the subset of the origin-destination (OD)-pair and link flows that can be calculated based on a subset of observed OD-pair and link flows, and related problems. A modified topological version of an existing algebraic method for solving observability problems is given. T... View full abstract»

• ### Vehicle Detector Deployment Strategies for the Estimation of Network Origin–Destination Demands Using Partial Link Traffic Counts

Publication Year: 2008, Page(s):288 - 300
Cited by:  Papers (7)
| |PDF (1123 KB) | HTML

Making valid inferences about network origin-destination (OD) demands from limited link traffic count data requires a carefully structured data-collection strategy. Determination of the required number of vehicle detectors (VDs) and their installation in strategic locations for OD estimation purposes is essentially a network location problem. In this paper, a mathematical programming framework bas... View full abstract»

• ### Binary-Representation-Based Genetic Algorithm for Aircraft Arrival Sequencing and Scheduling

Publication Year: 2008, Page(s):301 - 310
Cited by:  Papers (34)
| |PDF (730 KB) | HTML

Arrival sequencing and scheduling (ASS) at airports is an NP-hard problem. Much effort has been made to use permutation-representation-based genetic algorithms (GAs) to tackle this problem, whereas this paper attempts to design an efficient GA based on a binary representation of arriving queues. Rather than using the order and/or arriving time of each aircraft in the queue to construct chromosomes... View full abstract»

In this paper, the implementation of genetic programming (GP) to design a controller structure is assessed. GP is used to evolve control strategies that, given the current and desired state of the propulsion and heading dynamics of a supply ship as inputs, generate the commanded forces required to maneuver the ship. The controllers created using GP are evaluated through computer simulations and re... View full abstract»

Algorithms for classifying road signs have a high computational cost per pixel processed. A detection stage that has a lower computational cost can facilitate real-time processing. Various authors have used shape and color-based detectors. Shape-based detectors have an advantage under variable lighting conditions and sign deterioration that, although the apparent color may change, the shape is pre... View full abstract»
