Guest Editorial Developing and Improving Transportation Systems: The Structure and Operation of IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society
This editorial introduces the structure and operation of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS). A brief history of the ITSS is presented, along with its mission, organizational structure, and a recently approved plan to streamline ...
Real-time hazardous traffic condition warning system: framework and evaluation
This study presents a warning information system based on an innovate methodology to estimate accident likelihood in real time. Bayesian modeling approach implemented by the probabilistic neural network (PNN) is conducted to identify hazardous traffic ...
State space reduction for nonstationary stochastic shortest path problems with real-time traffic information
Routing vehicles based on real-time traffic conditions has been shown to significantly reduce travel time, and hence cost, in high-volume traffic situations. However, taking real-time traffic data and transforming them into optimal route decisions are a ...
An approach to tune fuzzy controllers based on reinforcement learning for autonomous vehicle control
In this paper, we suggest a new approach for tuning parameters of fuzzy controllers based on reinforcement learning. The architecture of the proposed approach is comprised of a Q estimator network (QEN) and a Takagi-Sugeno-type fuzzy inference system (...
A novel architecture for multilane-free-flow electronic-toll-collection systems in the millimeter-wave range
An architecture for simultaneously performing multitarget tracking and multidata communication suitable for millimeter-wave multilane-free-flow electronic-toll-collection (ETC) systems is presented. This architecture combines the idea of frequency ...
In traffic jam IVC-RVC system for ITS using Bluetooth
At present, in the field of intelligent transport systems (ITSs), research on in-vehicle communications (VCs), intervehicle communications (IVCs), road-to-vehicle communications (RVCs), etc. continues. All information communication technology, ...
Comparative evaluation of microscopic car-following behavior
Microscopic traffic-simulation tools are increasingly being applied to evaluate the impacts of a wide variety of intelligent transport systems (ITS) applications and other dynamic problems that are difficult to solve using traditional analytical models. ...
Aircraft conflict prediction in the presence of a spatially correlated wind field
In this paper, the problem of automated aircraft conflict prediction is studied for two-aircraft midair encounters. A model is introduced to predict the aircraft positions along some look-ahead time horizon, during which each aircraft is trying to ...
Coordinated road-junction traffic control by dynamic programming
This paper presents a novel approach to road-traffic control for interconnected junctions. With a local fuzzy-logic controller (FLC) installed at each junction, a dynamic-programming (DP) technique is proposed to derive the green time for each phase in ...
Lane keeping based on location technology
Vehicle positioning with an accuracy of 10 cm or less will enable lane-keeping assistance in addition to other safety benefits when an enhanced lane-level digital map is in place. With constantly evolving technology and sensors, a high-precision ...
