Abstract

Adelaide, South Australia is a city with a long tradition of state of the art planning of its urban development and transport systems. As a planned ‘new world’ city it has largely escaped many of the traffic and environmental problems that beset other cities. An ongoing feature [...]

Abstract

Imagine a world in which people and goods can move with minimum impact on the local environment and climate. Imagine an intelligent transport system with smart infrastructure and smart, connected vehicles powered predominantly by renewable energy, and with enlightened end-users: private [...]

Abstract

network-wide coordination system for heavy-duty vehicle platooning with the purpose of reducing fuel consumption is developed. Road freight is by far the dominating mode for overland transport with over 60 % modal share in the OECD countries and is thus critically important for the [...]

Abstract

Transport systems are continuously evolving. A modern transport system needs to be sustainable socially, economically and environmentally. In recent decades, technological development, especially in information and communication technology, has affected today's transport systems. [...]

Abstract

The operation of heavy-duty vehicles at small inter-vehicular distances, known as platoons, lowers the aerodynamic drag and, therefore, reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Tests conducted on flat roads have shown the potential of platooning to reduce the fuel consumption [...]

Abstract

Patreiz transporta sistēmu darbība nenotiek saskaņoti, nav definēti kritēriji un saskaņoti dažādu transportu veidu maršruti (īpaši tas ir aktuāli lielās pilsētās ar augstu transporta kustības intensitāti). Rakstā decision making of train movement secuenses for co [...]

Abstract

research into innovative forms of automated transportation systems gains momentum, it is important that we develop an understanding of the factors that will impact the adoption of these systems. In an effort to address this issue, the European project CityMobil2 is collecting data [...]

Abstract

This article investigates the prospective and limitations in the application of potential intelligent transport system (ITS) functions to reduce accident risks, using a cause‐treatment relationship. The main causes of road accidents are described and appropriate ITS solutions (including [...]

Abstract

Traffic congestion is a constantly growing problem, with a wide array ofnegative effects on the society, from wasted time and productivity to elevated air pollution and increased number of accidents. Classical traffic control methods have long been successfully employed to alleviate [...]
