The paper presented the PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) control and traffic management system. The genesis of the use of information systems for control and PRT traffic management was made. The concept of the PRT system was defined, a review of these systems and their structure was carried out. The mechanical and ergonomic systems of PRT vehicles have been described. The chassis structure and the ergonomics of the PRT vehicle cabs have been characterized. The process of estimating traffic conditions and simulations of exemplary PRT vehicles have been described. An analysis of the PRT system was carried out, the purpose of which is to determine the optimal number of PRT stations guaranteeing optimal service provision, in terms of the demand for PRT services. The stages of designing the PRT circulation system for districts on the outskirts of the city are illustrated. The OPTIMAL program tool (C-CAD) has been used.

<p><strong>Vehicular traffic is continuously increasing around the world, especially in urban areas, and the resulting congestion ha</strong><strong>s</strong><strong> be</strong><strong>come</strong><strong> a major concern to automobile users. The popular static electric traffic light controlling system can no longer sufficiently manage the traffic volume in large cities where real time traffic control is paramount to deciding best route. The proposed mobile traffic management system provides users with traffic information on congested roads using weighted sensors. A prototype of the system was implemented using Java SE Development Kit 8 and Google map. The model </strong><strong>was</strong><strong> simulated and the performance was </strong><strong>assessed</strong><strong> using response time, delay and throughput. Results showed that</strong><strong>,</strong><strong> mobile devices are capable of assisting road users’ in faster decision making by providing real-time traffic information and recommending alternative routes.</strong></p>


An accident is one of the major causes of unnatural and untimely death. This is one of the serious issues throughout the world. Most of the accidents occur due to vehicle factors, improper traffic management, and lack of timely help. With the increase in the number of vehicles, it may be little hard to keep away from such accidents on road. The main objective is to implement the new advancements in saving human lives by detecting the occurrence of the accident in a vehicle and by directing the ambulance to the accident location without time delay. Also by implementing smart traffic control system, the ambulance moves to medical centre in an effective way without any stall in the traffic signals. Automation of accident detection is implemented by sensor-based ambulance management with the smart traffic management system. It consists of Crash sensor and MEMS sensor for detecting the accident in the vehicle and RF transmitter on the ambulance to communicate with the RF Receiver located on the traffic signal. This helps the ambulance to cross the junction switching the signals from Red to Green when the signal is received by the ambulance.

Mobile WiMAX has gained extensive support in the industry. Demand on wireless Internet bandwidth is increasing. Mobile WiMAX, also called WirelessMAN (Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks.), is Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) of the Metro. Mobile WiMAX will offer wireless internet experience within the city as Wi-Fi offers within your office or home. Imagine making VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls from home and continuing to talk as you travel to work in the train or travel in the car on a freeway. Mobile WiMAX can make that happen. In this chapter the authors would describe what is Mobile WiMAX, how it can be combined with GPS (Global Positioning System) for Traffic Management, solve traffic related offences and help in providing a clear way for PSV’s (Public safety vehicles) like fire brigades and ambulances.

With the increasing use of railway transportation, various methods have been developed for the control and management of train traffic. Train traffic control systems that are currently in use are overwhelmingly centralized systems. In this study, the development of the general structure of railway traffic control techniques is examined, centralized and decentralized control systems are investigated, and an alternative train traffic control system, the Decentralized Train Traffic Management System (DTMS), is suggested. Simulation results on the possible application of the proposed method to a railway line in South-East Turkey are employed to evaluate the performance of the developed system.

Over the past decades, the world has witnessed an increase in the number of vehicles. According to the accident analysis and to the existing transport problems, the development of automated traffic control systems using adaptive management methods is the most optimal way to improve road traffic quality. From the technological point of view, the system must function according to the requirements for the traffic flow level and to the assessment of traffic efficiency, so a clear comparison of systems is impossible under the conditions of various principles for identifying managerial impacts and the designation of management system. The authors’ analysis of the most commonly used traffic management technologies proves that experts choose the system architecture that affects its functions and the ability to implement one or another method of management. In accordance with the ITS approach and management tasks at each hierarchy level, we believe that the traffic management system of the intelligent transport system should be based on the principle of multi-level architecture using ring Ethernet technologies, which corresponds more to the diamond-shaped system structure; it allows to distribute methods of traffic management for purposes and to separate the informational and technological elements of the system.

Urban traffic routing is deemed to be a significant challenge in intelligent transportation systems. Existing implementations suffer from several intrinsic issues such as scalability in centralized systems, unnecessary complexity of mechanisms and communication in distributed systems, and lack of privacy. These imply force intensive computational tasks in the traffic control center, continuous communication in real-time with involved stakeholders which require drivers to reveal their location, origin, and destination of their trips. In this paper we present an innovative urban traffic routing framework and reference architecture (multimap traffic control architecture, MuTraff), which is based on the strategical generation and distribution of a set of traffic network maps (traffic weighted multimaps, TWM) to vehicle categories or fleets. Each map in a TWM map set has the same topology but a different distribution of link weights, which are computed by considering policies and constraints that may apply to different vehicle groups. MuTraff delivers a traffic management system (TMS), where a traffic control center generates and distributes maps, while routing computation is performed at the vehicles. We show how this balance between generation, distribution, and routing computation improves scalability, eases communication complexities, and solves former privacy issues. Our study presents case studies in a real city environment for (a) global congestion management using random maps; (b) congestion control on road incidents; and c) emergency fleets routing. We show that MuTraff is a promising foundation framework that is easy to deploy, and is compatible with other existing TMS frameworks.

In the last twenty years all cities throughout the world have faced a continual increase in traffic demand. Neither a simple increase in physical capacities of the traffic network nor introduction of new traffic control systems nor similar isolated actions can be the right response to the increased traffic demands. New approaches to traffic management and application of complex new technological solutions in traffic control are called for. Besides improving safety for all participants, their main objectives are to increase the capacity of the existing infrastructure to enable its efficient exploitation in accordance with the current traffic demand and to protect urban environment from unnecessary traffic aggressive influence. It is clear that to achieve traffic flow the following issues should be taken into consideration: (1) Traffic conditions (to reduce duration and scope of traffic jams, to increase capacity and level of safety); (2) Physical surroundings (less noise and less pollution), and (3) Economic conditions (efficient usage of time, energy, space and other resources). Management of traffic means the possibility to choose an adequate management algorithm and the possibility to adapt it to the constant changes in traffic demand and not so dynamic changes in urban surrounding demand.
