Dynamic intermodal routing environment for control and telematics - analysis, modelling and simulation (DIRECTView-AMS) is a visualisation application designed to view the performance measures generated during simulations using DIRECT software with options to turn on and off scenarios. This tool can be used for evaluating dynamic mobility applications and active transportation and demand management strategies, applications, and concepts.

Intelligent network flow optimisation analysis, modelling, and simulation (AMS) consists of three different applications used in the San Mateo, California, AMS test bed effort---queue warning, speed harmonisation, and cooperative adaptive cruise control. These cross-functional applications were modelled together and used simulation inputs (sensor and connected vehicle data) to generate vehicle-specific commands and desired speed decisions.

Connected and automated speed harmonisation software analyses real-time traffic conditions to calculate and communicate speed commands for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), with the overall goal of harmonising traffic flow. This application includes software to run on a server that simulates a traffic management centre to collect the data needed to perform a speed control algorithm and communicate results with CAVs; on-board speed control software for CAVs to enable two-way communication with the TMC; and an on-board human machine interface to display information on current speed, commanded speed, confidence in the commanded speed, and the status of surrounding CAVs to the CAV driver.

    Tunnel simulators vital for real world tunnel management
    Guillaume Ponsar, tunnel safety engineer with Egis Road Operation, writes about the advantages to be gained from the use of tunnel simulators. Major tunnel disasters over the last decade and more have shown how swiftly and badly a simple crash or fire may evolve should the wrong actions be taken by control room operators or traffic managers. Global safety issues and the reactions of operations staff have now become the principal concerns for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) service providers. As a result, n

    InfoConnect delivers accurate travel information on all levels
    Deryk Whyte provides an overview of how the New Zealand Transport Agency's InfoConnect concept was developed. Historically, the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) (formerly Transit New Zealand) has faced challenges in communicating effectively with road users, its customers, about highway-related events or incidents in a timely, accurate manner. Prior to 2007, Transit relied on a third-party organisation to collect and disseminate national road condition information. This often resulted in incomplete infor
