Introduction to Deploying Wireless Sensor Devices in Intelligent Transportation System Applications
A recent study by the UK Government’s Office of Science and Innovation, which examined how future intelligent infrastructure would evolve to support transportation over the next 50 years looked at a range of new technologies, systems and services that may emerge over that period (UK DfT, 2006). One key class of technology that was identified as having a significant role in delivering future intelligence to the transport sector was wireless sensor networks and in particular the fusion of fixed and mobile networks to help deliver a safe, sustainable and robust future transportation system based on the better collection of data, its…
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…
