Project Title: Synthesis of TxDOT Uses of Real-Time Commercial Traffic Routing Data URL: http://tti.tamu.edu/documents/0-6659-1.pdf 16. 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.
