Travel time information is becoming more important for applications ranging from congestion measurement to real-time travel information. Several advanced techniques for travel time data collection are discussed, including electronic distance-measuring instruments (DMIs), computerized and video license plate matching, cellular phone tracking, automatic vehicle identification (AVI), automatic vehicle location (AVL), and video imaging. The various advanced techniques are described, the necessary equipment and procedures are outlined, the applications of each technique are discussed, and the advantages and disadvantages are summarized. Electronic DMIs are low in cost but typically limited to congestion monitoring applications. Computerized and video license plate matching are more expensive and would be most applicable for congestion measurement and monitoring. Cellular phone tracking, AVI, and AVL systems may require a significant investment in communications infrastructure, but they can provide real-time information. Video imaging is still in testing stages, with some uncertainty about costs and accuracy.

The recent emergence of automatic vehicle identification technology (AVI) for use in electronic toll collection has provided an opportunity to develop automatic incident detection (AID) methods that rely on individual vehicle travel time data instead of loop detector data. The performances of three AVI-based AID algorithms are examined. Travel time data for testing of the algorithms were obtained by simulating a 12-km section of the collector facility of Highway 401 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The performances of the three AVI-based AID algorithms are compared with the performance of a leading loop detector–based algorithm, which was independently tested with similar simulated data. The AID performance results indicate that AVI-based AID algorithms can provide incident detection performance similar to that of existing loop detector-based AID methods.

abstract Travel-time data are given at 25 km. intervals between 50 and 500 km. for traverses west, south, east, and north of Johannesburg. These derive from numerous seismograms of Witwatersrand earth tremors taken by means of a triggering technique. The only phases considered to be consistent are those mentioned below, and few signs of a change of velocity with depth were discovered. There were no great differences in the results for the various directions, and the mean results were: P 1 = + 0.24 + Δ / 6.18 sec . S 1 = + 0.37 + Δ / 3.66 sec . P n = + 7.61 + Δ / 8.27 sec . S n = + 11.4 + Δ / 4.73 sec . which give crustal depths of 35.1 and 33.3 km. from P and S data respectively. These depths include about 1.3 km. of superficial material of lower velocity.
