The system described, named CombiCom (Combined Transport Communication System), is developed from the CombiCom project, part of the EC DGXIII DRIVE II programme for Advanced Transport Telematics. The introduction of a real-time information system, together with automatic identification, which monitors the movements of load-units, could provide the signalling of deviations from a schedule and inform the traffic agents and their clients at an early stage in time. The CombiCom project realises such an information system on the corridor Rotterdam-Kijl n-Verona. By the use of automatic identification equipment, observations in real-time are made at entry and exits of the terminals and along the routes. These observations are interpreted by the system and used to signal deviations from the planned situation through an alarm function.<>

In Programs like DRIVE or PROMETHEUS different systems for advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) and advanced traveller information systems (ATIS) are developed. In order to evaluate these new systems within the traffic simulation tool PRORAD an adequate representation of the driver, his driving behaviour and his reaction to traffic messages must exist. The aim of this study is the development of such a driver model comprising the data structure and the driver's behaviour. In order to model the driver and his behaviour various techniques of artificial intelligence are used. The whole system is designed using object-oriented techniques. The driver's decision is taken by using a rule base system. Various algorithms of operation research and AI are used for the driver's route planning.<>

This paper provides a progress report on the TravInfo project-the San Francisco Bay Area Intermodal Traveler Information System- including the project organization, plan, schedule, implementation experience, and evaluation approach. The public sector will provide open-access databases for region-wide real-time traffic and public-transport information. The TravInfo Transportation Information Center (TIC) will disseminate this information through an audiotext phone system, a landline system, and a wireless data broadcast. Private sector will provide products and services that present this information to both public and private sector users. Overall, TravInfo is intended to make public transport easier and more attractive to use, and to assist in reducing and in avoiding traffic congestion. In addition, it will serve as an ATIS test bed and as a test market for determining the types of ATIS products and services that IVHS users want and are willing to pay for. TravInfo is an open partnership available to public and private sector organizations both foreign and domestic. The trial is scheduled to operate for a period of approximately two years beginning in early 1995. Successful elements of TravInfo are expected to continue in use.<>

A major cause of accidents during cornering is the excessive vehicle speed due to the driver's incorrect recognition or misjudgement of the curvature of the road, the vehicle performance and the road conditions. We are now studying a self-reliant cornering vehicle speed control system without using outside facilities along the road. This paper presents the base technology of such a system which predicts the curvature of the oncoming road based on the map information from the car navigation system which has already been installed in production vehicles in Japan.<>

This paper proposes a new method of controlling traffic flow over the road network. A diversion of traffic is carried out by maximizing the over-all network evaluation function. A new method to increase the available information based on "sensor fusion" is also proposed. Several numerical analyses are carried out and some promising results are obtained.<>

In order to implement the accuracy and detailed map database with wide area coverage, the database should be compact in size and must be created efficiently and automatically, at low cost. We developed a software system to resolve these problems. With this system, we first make an original map database by enhancing road data from the Japan Digital Road Map Association, and add other important information such as facilities and traffic restriction information. Then, according to the display scale of each map, adequate road details, background, and character information is selected and extracted from the original database. Layouts of character information are determined automatically according to the priority of each item of information and spacing between each character. In this way, a map database can be automatically generated at less than one third the size of the original database. As a result, map data of the whole area of Japan can be stored in a CD-ROM disc. This paper describes the data compression method and an automated conversion algorithm of map data into a compressed format.<>

There have been many researches and implementations using image sensors to get information for traffic and vehicle control. The image seen from camera located beside or upon the road can be used for vehicle detection, velocity of car or car group measurement, parking car detection, etc. Moreover the image seen from camera located in vehicle can be used for previous car detection, distance to following vehicle measuring, obstacle detection, lane detection, etc. In this paper, items to measure, algorithms to measure with image processing, problems to overcome in future are described.<>

Incidents occurring on a highway decrease the number of lanes available to the through traffic, and cause congested situations, big delays, excess energy consumption and high air pollution. Non-recurring congestion becomes more pronounced during peak hour traffic. The main objective of this paper is to simulate the incident restoration operations and analyse their effects on the traffic flow in terms of travel delay and energy consumption. Various policies are tested, assuming different number of traffic restoring units, dispatching policies, and priority for service schemes. These policies are evaluated and a comparative analysis is incorporated to indicate the sensitivity of the various components against the selected restoration system.<>

There is an important transformation process in European freight transport operation and logistics at present. This process is driven by a number of influencing factors but primarily by: the advent of the Single European Market (SEM) and the restructuring of the manufacturing and distribution processes; and the influence of technological innovations, particularly in the field of telematics and their implications for what is generally called advanced logistics for freight and distribution. The effects on the transport sector of the Single European Market which is already in effect are soon to be evident and more widely felt, these are summarised in the paper.<>
