Abstract

The efficiency of urban mobility is a huge concern of urban population around the world. Because of this reason, city planners spend much of their time monitoring transportations systems and designing solutions in order to improve the system's quality. Among these solutions, the most successful ones are computational tools called Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).

The success of ITS has encouraged public agencies, owners of the public transportation system information, to share their datasets with the population aiming to stimulate the development of new research and solutions that could help to improve urban mobility.

Taking advantage of this trend, this work uses the Rio de Janeiro buses GPS logs dataset to extract some of the main operational information about the city bus system. More specifically, garage locations, start and end points of a route, and the route (the complete sequence of streets) of a bus line are inferred.This information is extremely important for both city planners and population since administrators can benefit from it to better plan the transportation system and the population can become more informed about the system, what improves its reliability and overall usage satisfaction.

Development of fuzzy-based bus rear-end collision warning thresholds using a driving simulator

The purpose of this paper is to develop rear-end collision warning thresholds with appropriate values of parameters for busses driving on freeways. Based on a bus-driving simulator, we design a simulation scenario of car following with emergency braking ...
Visual and Operational Impacts of Variable Speed Limit Signs on Bus Drivers on Freeways Using Driving Simulator
APSCC '08: Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE Asia-Pacific Services Computing Conference

The benefits of variable speed limit signs (VSLS) include preventing drivers from rear-end collisions and maintaining a stable traffic flow on roads. However, the configurations of VSLS will directly or indirectly affect drivers’ recognition to VSLS ...
An Arterial Green-Wave Synchronous Coordination Model for Bus and Non-bus Lanes Based on Platoon Dispersion Theory

This paper presents an arterial green-wave synchronous coordination model for bus and non-bus lanes based on platoon dispersion theory. As the traffic light at an upstream intersection change from red to green, the dispersive characteristics of these ...
