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.<>

The paper briefly looks at the TEE model. The road stretch is the geometric domain of the TEE model. The geometric data defining such a stretch are the number of vehicular flows, stretch length, steepness and altitude. The traffic flows are characterised by three flow modes and there are several kinematic options for the description of driving patterns.<>

We develop the vehicle information and communication system, and introduce a new technology, called the advanced road transportation system (ARTS) that consider roads and automobiles as integrated rather than as separate systems. ARTS can provide drivers with better service and meet the traffic demands of the future. This report explains the development background of ARTS, and discusses its future prospects.<>

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 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.<>

Outlines the development and implementation of a system designed to optimise urban transport networks on environmental criteria, rather than efficiency alone. The paper briefly describes the development of state of the art in pollution monitoring systems, noting that these traditionally do not include dynamic time-scales for pollution prediction (i.e. they are not real-time decision support systems utilising IVHS technologies). The paper discusses the development of the concept of a system for air quality monitoring and management, and the systems architecture developed to enable emission detection at roadside and at exhaust, and to enable traffic demand management on the basis of a balance of air quality and transport objectives. The paper describes the elements of the system.<>

This paper presents Toyota's new design concept, features, and evaluation results of 3-types in-vehicle equipment which were developed for the VICS demonstration test (1993): Type 1 is a navigation system with dynamic route guidance; Type 2 is a pictorial map display system; and Type 3 is a text display system. We introduce some examples of these displays and describe their detailed features. The Type 1 system has been developed on the basis of our current navigation system with additions of FM-multiplex, microwave-beacon and infrared-beacon receivers. Drivers can get in advance not only the traffic information such as congestion, accidents and so on, but also an optimum route on the full color map display with voice guidance. The Type 2 system can display a simple deformed pictorial map instead of a digital map; it features voice recognition operation and synthesized voice announcement of text data. The Type 3 system has been developed as a part of the audio system; it features a 30-character display and synthesized voice announcement of text data.<>

Automated number-plate recognition, using image processing techniques, is indicating new ways of capturing traffic data. Advances in computer vision technology and the falling prices of related devices encourage the use of video/closed circuit television cameras by making it practical to automatically identify vehicles visually on-line or off-line. An automatic vehicle identification system could be achieved using automated number-plate reading with high accuracy and low processing time. The objective of this research is to explore the potential of using the BAM neural network for number-plate reading. Image processing techniques are used to extract the location of each included character, and the BAM neural network is applied to the character recognition process.<>
