Image Sensing Systems will be highlighting how its RTMS Echo is part of the technology used in the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s first flex lane on the Madison Beltline in Dane County. The flex lane is an innovative solution to ease backups during the busiest times and provide reliability for motorists. The Echo monitors the traffic volume on the highway's mainline lanes. When traffic levels hit a certain volume threshold, a notification is sent, and the system automatically opens the median shoulder lane to allow vehicles to start using the lane.
Researchers at Imperial College in London have developed a generic three-stage short-term travel prediction model that promises to give greater accuracy under both normal and abnormal conditions. As travellers do not like the randomness of non-recurrent traffic congestion and delays, it is particularly useful for network managers to know how the ongoing traffic situation will develop when an atypical event occurs.
The City of Los Angeles is piloting a new transportation app in partnership with Xerox in an effort to provide travellers with optimised transportation choices to simplify urban mobility in the second largest metro area in the US.
The Go LA app aggregates and calculates the time, cost, carbon footprint and health benefits from walking, cycling, driving your own car, parking, taking public transit, as well the emerging private transportation options, such as Lyft, Zipcar, FlitWays and Uber, giving users a
