  3. The Measurement Problem • How to collect the real time Speed Data? • Incremental Infrastructure • In pavement loop detectors (single point) • radar/laser/video signpost systems (single point) • EZ Pass readers (2 point span measurement, Excellent) • Processing “Existing” Data • Wireless Location Technology (Cellular Probes, see Fontaine, et al) • Cell-tower trilateration • Yet to demonstrate sufficient accuracy • Cell-handoff processing • maybe OK for simple networks • Floating Car (Vehicle Probe) data processing (see Demers et al) Week 8

  4. Cell Probe Technology • Practical success requires more than cell phones • Cell phone movement based on cell location and “hand-offs” from one cell to another • Pattern recognition techniques filter out data from those not on the highway • Then traffic algorithms generate travel times and speeds on roadway links • Cell phones need to be turned on, but not necessarily in use • Full regional systems in place in Baltimore, Antwerp, and Tel Aviv = 4,600 miles, Shanghai Week 8

  16. Baltimore MMTIS • At one point this was the first regional deployment of commercial-quality cellular traffic probes in North America • Mutually profitable public-private partnership • Test commercial markets during project • Integrate with existing public data – including transit and E-911 • Encourage public applications beyond traditional ITS • Contract signed September 2004; data flow to Maryland DOT began April 2005 Week 8

  17. Baltimore MMTIS – Private Firms • Delcan-NET • Transportation and technology consultants • Fifty plus years in business • Profitable every year; staff = 500 plus • ITIS Holdings • Leader in traffic probes; staff = 100 • Commercial customers – 16 automobile firms, for-profit 511 • Profitable! • Publicly traded on London exchange • National cellular firms (Verizon and AT&T) Week 8

  31. Largest Cellular probe system in Shanghai • Deployed by TrafficCast in 2006 • but I can’t find the real time site. Did it die?? • Dash Express GPS; • ConsunerReportsdescription • Trouble in “River City”: Layoff What about Travel Time Variability? • An excellent empirical study: Black, I, T. K. Chin “Forecasting Travel Time variability in Urban Areas”Rept # 0010-GD01017-TCF-02 Hyder Consulting (UK) Nov, 2007 Week 8

  32. Vehicle Probes • Assign Speed data to network segments of Digital Map database, or • Maintain travel times between strategically located virtual monuments Week 8

  33. (mi, mj) near Troy (mi, mj) larger area North American Monument Network • ~125,000 North American “Monuments” • ~106 (mi, mj) • Can create Median travel Tims by Time-of-Day • For Example: AM Peak, Midday, PM Peak, Night, Weekend day Week 8

  36. “Advance” project The late 90s & Illinois Universities Transportation Research Consortium Real-Time Dynamic Minimum ETA Sat/Nav Conducted its version of the abandoned “ADVANCE” (Advanced Driver and Vehicle Advisory Navigation ConcEpt)project • 250 Volunteers using CoPilot|Live commuting to/from RPI • CoPilot continuously shares real-time probe-based traffic data • CoPilot continuously seeks a minimum ETA route Won ITS America’s 2007 “Best Innovative Research” Award Week 8

  37. Project Objectives • Create: real-time data collectionfrom vehiclesanddisseminationto vehiclesof congestion avoidance information which is used to automatically reroute drivers onto the fastest paths to their destinations • Target locations: small to medium-sized urban areas • Aspects: operations, observability, controllability, users, information transfer to travelers Week 8

  40. If Momument, mj , is passed Send mi, mj, ttk(mi, mj)= t(mi) - t(mi) (52 bytes) ALK Server Updates: TT(mi, mj ) CoPilot|Live “Where Am I”, Then… Every Second CoPilot|Live Determines “Where am I”, Then… Set i=j Week 8

  41. CoPilot|Live … Send… Current Location & Destination, Last update time (42 bytes) CoPilot|Live Sends: “Where am I”, Dest., Last update Receives/Posts: updates Computes: MinETA Updates route, if better ALK Server Builds: setUk Sends: TT(mi, mj ) for every (i,j) in Uk Every “n” Minutes ALK Server … Determines Uk : set of TT(mi, mj ) within “bounding polygon” of (Location;Destination)k that have changed more than “y%” since last update. ALK Server … Send… New TT(mi, mj ) for every (i,j) in Uk (280 bytes/100arcs) CoPilot|Live … Updates TT(mi, mj ) in Uk , ETA on current route, Finds new MinETA route, if MinETA “substantially” better then… Adopt new route Week 8

  42. ALK Server Updates: TT(mi, mj ) When Available ALK Server … Receives: Other congestion information from various source, blends them in TT(mi, mj ) Week 8

  43. What We Heard I'm very impressed with the CoPilot program thus far. The directions are accurate and it adapts quickly to route changes. I find it interesting how willing I am to listen to a machine tell me which route to take I like using it for when I have no idea on how to get somewhere, and it is good for my normal route because it keeps me out of traffic on route 4. This thing is awesome. I was a little skeptical at first but once i got the hang of it I don’t know how I went along without it. I think any student commuting to school will benefit from this. It is great, it took a while to trust it telling me where to go, but i like it because i cant get lost! Thanks. Week 8
