KEY EVALUATION RESULTS This section should present a brief summary of the key results related to the EasyWay objectives and any other key results. 1.1 IMPACT ON TRAFFIC FLOW The results will be available after the evaluation has been performed. Tmcplus is an instrument to have better influence in the traffic flow. By providing in-time traffic information and options for alternative routes, the traffic flow can be harmonised immediately. Reducing congestion also means a more effective guidance of the traffic flow. 1.2 IMPACT ON INCREASED SAFETY The results will be available after the evaluation has been performed. TMCplus is the only traffic information service that informs the user on-trip in the car. The TMCplus -messages are provided nearly in real-time and therefore can warn the driver immediately in case of danger or delays on the individual route. Using tmcplus the driver also receives additional information as the length of the traffic jams. TMCplus is a very important instrument to improve road safety. Therefore the driver can be informed about

Abstract Traditionally, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and its districts have collected traffic operations data through a system of fixed-location traffic sensors, supplemented with probe vehicles using transponders where such tags are already being used primarily for tolling purposes and where their numbers are sufficient. In recent years, private providers of traffic data have entered the scene, offering traveler information such as speeds, travel time, delay, and incident information.

  • Real-Time Traffic Information Via Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
    Seventh LACCEI Latin American and Caribbean Conference for Engineering and Technology (LACCEI’2009) “Energy and Technology for the Americas: Education, Innovation, Technology and Practice” June 2-5, 2009, San Cristóbal, Venezuela. REAL-TIME TRAFFIC INFORMATION VIA MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORKS Jeffrey L. Duffany, Ph.D. Universidad del Turabo, Gurabo, PR USA [email protected] ABSTRACT Currently it is possible to use the internet in selected urban areas such as Los Angeles or Houston to view a real- time map of vehicular traffic flow velocities on major arteries using a laptop computer display. Also for a monthly fee traffic information distributed over a Traffic Management Channel (TMC) can be integrated with automobile navigational systems to provide alternate routing capability. Both of these techniques involve a monthly charge and are limited in information they provide and areas they cover. This investigation provides an architecture and a vision to provide more fine grained real-time traffic conditions that works over a wider range of geographical areas providing situational awareness information to motorists using the infrastructure of a mobile ad-hoc network. The idea is similar to a time lapse weather satellite photograph that gives the user the raw information and allows them to use it to make decisions in the manner that best suits their individual situation. Keywords: information technology, mobile ad-hoc networks 1. INTRODUCTION Imagine you are driving down a highway and see a traffic jam ahead. This usually happens just after you have just passed the last exit possible to avoid the traffic jam. What is lacking here is a basic situational awareness.

  • WBU Radio Guide
    FOREWORD The purpose of the Digital Radio Guide is to help engineers and managers in the radio broadcast community understand options for digital radio systems available in 2019. The guide covers systems used for transmission in different media, but not for programme production. The in-depth technical descriptions of the systems are available from the proponent organisations and their websites listed in the appendices. The choice of the appropriate system is the responsibility of the broadcaster or national regulator who should take into account the various technical, commercial and legal factors relevant to the application. We are grateful to the many organisations and consortia whose systems and services are featured in the guide for providing the updates for this latest edition. In particular, our thanks go to the following organisations: European Broadcasting Union (EBU) North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) HD Radio WorldDAB Forum Amal Punchihewa Former Vice-Chairman World Broadcasting Unions - Technical Committee April 2019 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................................................... 5 WHAT IS DIGITAL RADIO? ....................................................................................................................... 7 WHY DIGITAL RADIO? .............................................................................................................................. 9 TERRESTRIAL

  • Traffic and Travel Information (TTI) Broadcasting
    Traffic and Travel Information (TTI) broadcasting Traffic and Travel Information broadcasting history Broadcasters recognized the need to help drivers, with easy to understand information, many years ago! EBU member organizations - the national broadcasters with country-wide coverage -have a long successful history of public service TTI broadcasting, delivered free to the end user. For many years they have cooperated to develop this important area of broadcasting through the ongoing EBU Broadcasts for Motorists activity and through the Eurotravel conferences, usually held every four years. The range of TTI broadcasting is considerable and includes many thousands of spoken TTI announcements across Europe every day, supported by TV and Teletext information and service phones. Recently this has been augmented by newly developed services using the Internet and emerging RDS-TMC services. Within the EBU framework, this significant broadcasting sector is supported operationally by daily contacts between EBU members across national boarders, to provide strategic knowledge covering TTI situations in other countries. TTI coming up-to-date In the last ten to 12 years, massive amounts of research and development have been funded by the European Commission (EC), within the very wide Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) budgets, to bring forward many technical solutions for TTI collection (eg road sensors), information interchange (eg DATEX) and dissemination (eg RDS-TMC). However, in the last five years, significant commercial exploitation, using non TTI has a long successful broadcasting delivery (eg GSM phones) has been developed to the extent that TTI - history - before RDS-TMC broadcasting and narrowcasting - now has many new opportunities and threats to consider.
