  • Traffic congestion has become a serious problem with the recent exponential increase in the number of vehicles. In urban areas, almost all traffic congestion occurs at intersections. One of the ways to solve this problem is road expansion, but it is difficult to realize in urban areas because of the high cost and long construction period. In such cases, traffic signal control is a reasonable method for reducing traffic jams. In an actual situation, the traffic flow changes randomly and its randomness makes the control of traffic signals difficult. A prediction of traffic jams is, therefore, necessary and effective for reducing traffic jams. In addition, an autonomous distributed (stand-alone) point control of each traffic light individually is better than the wide and/or line control of traffic lights from the perspective of real-time control. This paper describes a stochastic optimum control of crossroads and multi-way traffic signals. First, a stochastic model of traffic flows and traffic jams is constructed by using a Bayesian network. Secondly, the probabilistic distributions of the traffic flows are estimated by using a cellular automaton, and then the probabilistic distributions of traffic jams are predicted. Thirdly, optimum traffic signals of crossroads and multi-way intersection are searched by using a modified particle swarm optimization algorithm to realize real-time traffic control. Finally, simulations are carried out to confirm the effectiveness of the real-time stochastic optimum control of traffic signals.

  • In this paper, an efficient Adaptive quality-of-service (QoS) traffic control scheme with priority scheduling is proposed for the multimedia traffic transmission over wireless access networks. The objective of the proposed adaptive QoS control (AQC) scheme is to realize end-to-end QoS, to be scalable without the excess signaling process, and to adapt dynamically to the network traffic state according to traffic flow characteristics. Here, the reservation scheme can be used over the wireless access network in order to get the per-flow guarantees necessary for implementation of some kinds of multimedia applications. The AQC model is based on both differentiated service model with different lier hop behaviors and priority scheduling one. It consists of several various routers, access points, and bandwidth broker and adopts the IEEE 802.1 le wireless radio technique for wireless access interface. The AQC scheme includes queue management and packet scheduler to transmit class-based packets with different per hop behaviors (PHBs). Simulation results demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed AQC scheme.

  • 유비쿼터스 교통환경이 구현되면 기존 ITS 환경에서는 불가능하였던, 개별차량 위치, 속도 등 미세한 데이터 수집이 가능해 지며, V2V(Vehicle-to-Vehicle), V2I(Vehicle-to-Infra) 양방통신이 가능해 짐에 따라 개별차량 혹은 차량군 단위의 미세 제어가 가능해 진다. 이러한 유비쿼터스 교통 환경의 장점에 입각하여 교통류 안정성을 지표로 하는 연속류 정체예방관리 방안이 선행연구에서 제시된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 유비쿼터스 교통환경에서 정체예방관리를 실현함에 있어 제기된 쟁점사항들에 대하여, VISSIM 시뮬레이션 실험결과에 입각하여 해답을 제시하였다. 교통류 안정성을 명시적으로 교통류 관리에 적용할 수 있도록, 유비쿼터스 교통환경에서 수집 가능한 차량군 길이와 간격으로 도출하였다. 또한 교통상황에 따라 차별화된 운영관리가 필요하다는 타당성을 도출하고, 교통상황 구분 및 상황별 운영관리 방안을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 이러한 관리를 수행하였을 때 어떠한 잠재적 이익이 있는가를 보여주었다. 본 연구 결과는, 제반 제약조건으로 말미암아 제한적인 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 도출되었다. 그러나 유비쿼터스 교통환경에서 새로운 개념의 교통관리를 시행하는 데 있어 그 타당성은 보여줄 수 있었다고 판단된다. 향후 보다 포괄적인 현장실험을 통해 제반 결과들이 확정되어야 할 것이다.

  • This paper presents a traffic control agent that can perform the dynamic resource allocation by controlling traffic flows on a DiffServ network. In addition, this paper presents a router that can support DiffServ on Linux to support selective QoS in IP network environment. To implement a method for selective traffic transmission based on priority on a DiffServ router, this paper changes the queuing discipline in Linux, and presents the traffic control agent so that it can efficiently control routers, efficiently allocates network resources according to service requests, and relocate resources in response to state changes of the network.

  • The electrical detector and computer systems for traffic flow and speed measurement are demonstrated in this paper. For the best traffic control optimization, linear and non-linear equations in the transition state are dealing with the perturbation of the linear car-following. In the conclusions, we construct a realizable system for the central automatic traffic control with a computer. Furthermore, fixed periodic switching system by manual with the automatic traffic control system is recommended for emergency perturbation.

  • 최근 ATM Forum은 ABR 트래픽 관리를 위한 흐름제어 메커니즘에 중점을 두고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 통신 링크를 최적화하기 위해 잔여 대역폭을 효율적으로 관리하고 경쟁하는 ABR VC들 사이에 공정하게 분산시키기 위한 것이다. ABR 트래픽은 가변적이고 버스트한 특성 때문에 트래픽의 형태를 예측하기 어렵고 또한 지연에는 민감하지 않지만 손실에 민감하다. 이러한 특성은 네트워크의 UPC 기능을 어렵게 만들고 스위치에서 폭주를 유발하여 성능을 감소시킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 ATM Forum에서 다양한 흐름제어 메커니즘이 연구되었다. 특히, 속도 기반 방식이 ABR 트래픽에 대하여 표준화되었고, EFCI, ER, VS/VDdhk 같은 다양한 흐름제어 메커니즘이 연구되고 있다. VS/VD는 서로 다른 네트워크를 격리함으로써 기존의 ER 방식보다 성능이 더 우수하다. 본 논문에서는 확장된 VS/VD 흐름제어 알고리즘을 제안하고 기존의 큐임계값 방식을 적용한 VS/VD 흐름제어 알고리즘과 비교한다. 시뮬레이션 결과로 지연과 공정성 측면에서 문제점을 개선하는 것을 보인다.

  • In this paper, ways of improving the performances of roundabouts under the assumption that the Advanced Vehicle System is proposed. The situation on a road contains uncertainty and complexity caused by different vehicles having different directions and time-varying traffic flow. This sort of system with high uncertainty is called Multi Agent System (MAS). The MAS is a collective system, including numbers of agents and performs high diversity of the configuration as well as it has nonlinear property and complexity. Hence it is difficult to analyze and control the multi-agent system. A roundabout can be considered as an MAS with numbers of moving vehicles. So it must be difficult to use a centralized control technique to all vehicles in an intersection. Therefore, to improve the performances of roundabouts, multi-agents flow control algorithm for vehicles in Roundabouts using 'self-organization' technique is proposed.

  • Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networks require dynamic flow admission control to guarantee end-to-end quality of service (QoS) for each Internet protocol (IP) traffic flow. In this paper, we propose to tackle the joint routing and admission control problem for the IP traffic flows in MPLS networks without rerouting already admitted flows. We propose two mathematical programming models for this problem. The first model includes end-to-end delay constraints and the second one, end-to-end packet loss constraints. These end-to-end QoS constraints are imposed not only for the new traffic flow, but also for all already admitted flows in the network. The objective function of both models is to minimize the end-to-end delay for the new flow. Numerical results show that considering end-to-end delay (or packet loss) constraints for all flows has a small impact on the flow blocking rate. Moreover, we reduces significantly the mean end-to-end delay (or the mean packet loss rate) and the proposed approach is able to make its decision within 250 msec.

  • In this paper, we wish to construct a optimal traffic cycle using wire remote control. if police vehicle or ambulance suddenly enter the traffic Intersection, it will increase the traffic accident. In this paper, wireless traffic light use the radio traffic control signal and research about the hardware manufacture to check special detectors on urgency vehicles may safety and rapidly enter traffic intersection. Also, this paper present a traffic signal control conditions that analyzes different traffic intersection flows in cases of saturated flows, where the real traffic volume demand is large and the capacity constraints of bottlenecks have significant effects on the flow patterns. Through computer simulation this wireless traffic light has been proven to be much more safety and efficient than fixed traffic signal light which does not consider emergency vehicles for safety escort.
