During the last nine years, a couple of prototype ITS applications based on Floating Car Data (FCD) of taxi fleets have been developed at German Aerospace Center (DLR). A core application is a route guidance and monitoring system based on current and histo ...
Floating Car Data (FCD) fleets are a valuable data source to obtain travel times as basis for traffic information or route guidance systems. To deliver reliable traffic information and to improve algorithms and systems for generating FCD from GPS positions ...
This paper describes a prototype solution which has been developed to provide both the positioning availability and integrity required for this application. The SIGNATURE (SImple GNSS Assisted & TrUsted REceiver) solution includes an assistance service whi ...
Recently, the author proposed a new approach how to take advantage of common floating car data in context of urban traffic monitoring (cf. Neumann, 2009: Efficient queue length detection at traffic signals using probe vehicle data and data fusion, 16th ITS ...
GPS devices allow recording the movement track of the moving object they are attached to. This data typically consists of a stream of spatio-temporal (x,y,t) points. For application purposes the stream is transformed into finite subsequences called {\em tr ...
The single-source shortest path problem (SSSP) frequently arises in practical applications of todays Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). E.g. for route planning or traffic assignment, several variants of Dijkstra’s algorithm or the A* algorithm have been ...
Floating car data (FCD) meanwhile is a widely available and affordable data source. The given GPS data – delivered in frequencies of some seconds or sometimes only a few minutes – are typically matched to some digital road network and mainly the traffic va ...
The number of vehicles hitting the road each day is rapidly increasing, and several problems, such as traffic conges- tion or driver safety, can no longer be solved in the same fashion as before. Intelligent transportation systems could potentially solve p ...
Roads right across Europe are becoming more congested and governments and regional authorities are looking for ways to better manage the existing road network. One tool that is being increasingly promoted to tackle the congestion challenge is Road User Cha ...
