Introduction to Microwave Beamforming Networks for Intelligent Transportation Systems
An Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is a system based on wireless communications which has been investigated for many years in order to provide new technologies able to improve safety and efficiency of road transportation with integrated vehicle and road systems. It combines all aspects of technology and systems design concepts in order to develop and improve transportation system of all kinds. ITS, which utilise information and communications technology in vehicle as well as within the roadside infrastructure, can also be used to improve mobility while increasing transport…
Introduction to Modelling, Simulation Methods for Intelligent Transportation Systems
Effective transportation systems lead to the efficient movement of goods and people, which significantly contribute to the quality of life in every society. In the heart of every economic and social development, there is always a transportation system. Meanwhile, traffic congestion has been increasing worldwide because of increased motorization, urbanization, population growth, and changes in population density. This threatens the social and…
Introduction to Investigation of Measurement for Travel Time Variability
Congestion has grown over the past two decades making the travel time highly unreliable. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), US Department of Transportation (USDOT) indicated travel time as an important index to measure congestion. Frequent but stochastic, irregular delays increase the challenge for people to plan their journey – e.g. when to depart from the origin, which mode(s) and route(s) to use so the on-time arrival at the destination can be ensured. In addition to average travel time, the reliability of travel time has been…
