They can be effective in avoiding accidents and traffic congestion. Both types of nodes are dedicated short-range communications (DSRC ...
The engineering of this roundabout in Bristol, England, attempts to make traffic flow free-moving. Transportation engineering or transport engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to the planning, functional design, operation and management of facilities for any mode of transportation to provide for the safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient, economical ...
A technology for smart traffic signals has been developed at Carnegie Mellon University and is being used in a pilot project in Pittsburgh in an effort to reduce vehicle emissions in the city. Unlike other dynamic control signals that adjust the timing and phasing of lights according to limits that are set in controller programming, this system ...
