Traffic estimation and prediction systems (TrEPS) have the potential to improve traffic conditions and reduce travel delays by facilitating better utilization of available capacity. These systems exploit currently available and emerging computer, communication, and control technologies to monitor, manage, and control the transportation system.
By calculating the speed of users along a stretch of road, Google is able to generate a live traffic map. [1] Its subsidiary, Waze, also allows users to report directly via a smartphone app. TomTom Traffic uses crowd-sourced data from mobile phone users, along with data from traditional sources such as induction loops and traffic cameras.
Used to determine the distance headway between a vehicle and its predecessor. One of the simplest model in this category is the Pipe's rule, the basic assumption of this model is "A good rule for following another vehicle at a safe distance is to allow yourself at least the length of a car between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead for every ten miles per hour (16.1 km/h) of speed at which you ...
Aimsun Live is the traffic prediction software at the heart of the NSW Government's M4 Smart Motorway project. The project uses real-time data, communications and ITS to improve traffic flow. Singapore: 2019 technology trial for real-time traffic simulation and prediction - Land Transport Authority of Singapore (LTA).
SUMO is used for research purposes like traffic forecasting, evaluation of traffic lights, route selection, or in the field of vehicular communication systems. SUMO users are able to make changes to the program source code through the open-source license to experiment with new approaches.
The advanced traffic management system (ATMS) field is a primary subfield within the intelligent transportation system (ITS) domain, and is used in the United States. The ATMS view is a top-down management perspective that integrates technology primarily to improve the flow of vehicle traffic and improve safety.
The Google Maps apps for iOS and Android have many of the same features, including turn-by-turn navigation, street view, and public transit information. [212] [213] Turn-by-turn navigation was originally announced by Google as a separate beta testing app exclusive to Android 2.0 devices in October 2009.
GTFS or the General Transit Feed Specification defines a common data format for public transportation schedules and associated geographic information. [1] GTFS contains only static or scheduled information about public transport services, and is sometimes known as GTFS Static or GTFS Schedule to distinguish it from the GTFS Realtime extension, which defines how information on the realtime ...
