An internet based on-line architecture for real-time traffic systems control

摘要

Recent advances in inforamtion technology provide opportunities for secure, efficient and economical data transfer vis-a-vis real time operations for large-scale traffic systems equipped with sensor systems. This paper describes an Internet based control architecture that provides an automated mechanism for real-time route guidance using a high performance computing environment located at a remote site. A distributed computing paradigm called the Beowulf Cluster is proposed to achieve a high performance computing environment for the on-line architecture.
