The envisioned operational tests of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area call for the provision of timely and reliable travel times over an entire rod network. Unfortunately, travel time cannot be directly measured by certain new detection technologies, such as Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) or Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) systems, these new technologies are not widely deployed and are much more costly than loop detectors. Finding an accurate way to estimate travel time using loop detector data offers great economic benefits. this project examined the development of improved arterial travel time models. In the project's first pahse, researchers reviewed existing travel time databases. the project's second phase will seek to develop and evaluate new travel time estimation models.
Travel time to a destination is a key piece of information that motorists want and need, and is vital for good decisionmaking by travelers. Technology...
This project pursued several objectives conducive to the implementation and testing of a Bluetooth (BT) based system to collect travel time data, incl...
