Activation of the I-394 Laboratory for ITS Operational Testing. Final Report on211 Phase 2. Development of a Traffic Data Management System

摘要

The key element in improving traffic operations and performing real-time211u001emanagement is the ability to assess the effectiveness of various alternatives 211u001eprior to implementation. Likewise, the crucial feature for providing this 211u001ecapability is a Traffic Data Management System (TDMS), which gathers data and 211u001emakes it available for various traffic analysis applications. The purpose of this 211u001eresearch is to develop TDMS as part of a Laboratory Environment for TRaffic 211u001eANalaysis (LETRAN). Such a laboratory environment would provide easy and 211u001eefficient access to various kinds of traffic data for use in simulation, control, 211u001eincident detection, and other types of traffic analysis applications to be 211u001edeployed in a next-generation traffic management center. In addition, a Machine-211u001eVision Laboratory (MVL) will be designed and implemented as part of the Center 211u001efor Transportation Studies (CTS) Intelligent Transportation Systems Laboratory 211u001e(ITS Lab).
