2005, 5(2): 16-21 .

Abstract ( )

PDF (2046KB) ( )

Many important theoretical and practical problems have been existing in domestic and foreign universal service policies. Universal service policy in essence belongs to economical and social domain. Choosing several aspects of traffic information service，this paper discusses how to serve most travelers and draw up related policies at the current development level in China. Firstly traffic information service is defined，and then the current state and problems of traffic information service in China are briefly presented. At last，how to develop traffic information service and solve the problems related to universal service are discussed. By comparing economic development and road traffic situations home and abroad，it can be concluded that the level of current road traffic development in China is similar to that of late 1960’s to 1970’s in developed countries. Based on this; conclusion, the viewpoint is put forward that the development of road traffic and transport in China is still at its early stage，which leads to the contradiction between ‘digital gap’ and the tendency of informationization leading industrialization in the informationization tide. However，it is the government’ s responsibility to improve public travel efficiency and conveniences，and people have rights to require more convenient and cheaper traffic information service. Therefore，when designing and planning road traffic information systems，the government，in compliance with the principles of being practical and realistic’and ‘governance for people’，should concentrate on serving the public and providing public transit travelers with cheaper or even free in formation service.In the end，from the view point that development is a dynamical process，this paper suggests that different benefits and efficiencies should be treated in a dialectic way,and priority and justice should be balanced well.

Sort Order of ITS Projects

WU Su-feng,YANG Xiao-guang,CHEN You-lin

2005, 5(2): 26-30 .

Abstract ( )

PDF (1323KB) ( )

Intelligence Transportation System (ITS) is a new way to alleviate the transportation congestion. ITS in China，however, has been developed just in recent years. On the one hand, there are many projects which need huge investment;on the other hand, resources are limited, such as funds,talents and techniques. So a scientific method to sort order of ITS projects is essential. But it is very difficult to decide on the importance of ITS projects based on accurately calculating their cost and performance due to a lack of basic data nowadays. In this paper，on optimisation model has been
set up for the sequence of ITS’ projects construction based on Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). As a case analysis，this paper makes an introduction of the application of AHP in Highwory Network Information Planning of Shanghai. The emplying of AHP is able to objectively recommend the orders
of projects construction, and avoid the subjective forejudging.

Abstract ( )

PDF (1653KB) ( )

In essence，railway intelligent transportation system (RITS) is an unity which is founded on the basis of person distribution and physical distribution. The information-shared platform of RITS is the center, through which the sub-systems communicate with each other in the RITS. On the basis of studying the demand of information searching of all railway departments and customers， the information-shared system is studied in the paper. Firstly, the appropriate architecture of information-shared system of RITS is put forward based on the current distributed computing architecture. Then the merit and defect of component software technologies are investigated,
therefore，the key technologies of constructing information-shared system are selected. Subsequently，the data-integrated scheme of system and method of integrating data from deferent database are researched. At last，the general system architecture of the information-shared system is constructed.

Optimization Methods for off-line Traffic
Signal Settings:Recent Advances
and Prospective Future Research

C.K. WONG,S.C. WONG,C.0. TONG

2005, 5(2): 36-54 .

Abstract ( )

PDF (5384KB) ( )

This paper provides a comprehensive literature review of the historical development of the design optimization methods for off-line traffic signal settings in both isolated junctions and linked signal systems. Off-line methods usually take on historical traffic data as fixed inputs for designs, and are quite different from on-line methods，which utilize dynamic traffic information that is collected from real-time detectors. Conventional approaches to the design of traffic signal setting include the stage-based and group-based (or phase-based) methods，which require the lane marking patterns (road markings on traffic lanes that show the allowable turning directions) as exogenous inputs that are then excluded from the design optimization framework. This limitation has long existed, not only in the design of isolated signal-controlled junctions，but also in the design of linked signal systems in road networks. More recently, the lane-based optimization method was developed as an extended enhancement of the group-based method, in which lane markings are introduced and relaxed as control variables and are optimized together with the traffic signal settings for the design of isolated signal-controlled junctions and linked signal systems. Prospective future research will also be discussed.
