‘Modeling the future of island traffic in Trinidad and Tobago’ Tech profile: Traffic Technology International June 2015 Transportation Planning Consultant, Dr. Rae Furlonge, describes the traffic problems on the southwestern peninsula of the Caribbean island of Trinidad, where road building in the region is seen as essential, and some improvements have already been carried out. Now a local activist group (LAG) has developed a plan for where the next essential arteries should be const [...]

‘OPTICITIES: paving the way for smart urban transport’ Cities Today: Mobility in Europe, a special report May 2015 Jean Coldefy, Greater Lyon ITS Programme Coordinator, reports on OPTICITIES – a consortium of six European municipalities led by Lyon and supported by industry, research and major European networks – and plans to fast track ‘plug and play’ intelligent transport system (ITS) applications and tools. Grand Lyon is leading the OPTICITIES project to meet the chall [...]

‘UK project to trial real-time traffic simulation to improve air quality’ Traffic Technology Today 18 May 2015 The uTRAQ project in the east Midlands is seeking to advance real-time traffic management with the specific goal of reducing air pollution. With air quality and traffic management considered high priority policy issues for both central government and local authorities, a key strength of the system is its modular nature and ability to interface with existing and future advanc [...]

‘Quelle voiture pour demain?’ CNRS Le Journal Avril 2015 Dans le cadre de l’étude ‘Voiture du futur’ menée par Le Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), l’équipe NeCS du Gipsa-Lab travaille sur des algorithmes de régulation et de prédiction du trafic à l’aide d’un dispositif expérimental installé sur la rocade intérieure sud de la ville, le Grenoble Traffic Lab. Cette portion de route, longue de 10,5 km, connaît tous les jours des engorgements au [...]

MIT study shows better traffic signals can cut greenhouse gas emissions ‘Better traffic signals can cut greenhouse gas emissions’ MIT News April 2015 A study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology could lead to better ways of programming traffic lights to reduce delays, improve efficiency, and reduce emissions. While existing programs can simulate both city-scale and driver-scale traffic behaviour, integrating the two has been a problem. Using Aimsun traffic stud [...]
