The Next Level of Advanced Traffic Management Systems
目前,全球各地的城市都在集思广益,提出创新的想法和技术,以形成智慧城市, 交通管理系统也需要得到高度重视. In this regard, 活跃在智慧城市市场的组织已经设计了无数能够进行监控的产品, control and operations of city traffic in an optimized, integrated and intelligent manner.
交通违章和事件检测、车辆计数器和分类器只是其中的一小部分. 这些系统通过一个集中的平台得到进一步的监测和控制, which acts as the nerve centre of the city. 这些系统共同构成了所谓的高级交通管理系统(ATMS).
Even though ATMS enable efficient traffic management of any city, there are certain risks associated with this approach as well. For example, 现场ATMS设备有可能被人类活动或自然事件(如风暴或地震)损坏或篡改. These events may also result in the producing inaccurate records, 导致错误,同时降低了atm机的效率. 这样的事情也导致城市交通部门的运营成本增加, gradually turning the ATMS technology from boon to bane.
克服这一问题的一个可行的选择是部署新兴技术,如增强现实(AR),以管理整个城市的交通流动. AR见证了目前的快速增长,并在各个领域不断突破新的领域.
Regarding traffic management systems, 增强现实可以用来避免道路事故,同时测量随后的交通状况. 这个想法可以通过AR平视显示器(HUD)变成现实。. 要实施这一方针,我们所需要的只是公民的合作. The statement can be better understood from the example below:
Consider a person who is driving a car, wearing the AR HUD device. 司机可能面临的挑战之一是需要改变车道以超过前面的汽车. The challenge attains critical significance when a larger vehicle, such as a truck, is driving in front of the car. In these situations, 安装在HUD中的软件应使驾驶员能够看到前方行驶车辆的热成像. By using appropriate technology, 热图像可以在HUD眼镜或车内安装的任何屏幕上显示.
热成像将进一步帮助驾驶员决定是否换道, hence avoiding any plausible road accident. 它们甚至可以通过编程发送由特定HUD设备获得的热图像快照,甚至可以通过为HUD设备配备GPS或类似设备发送到交通管理中心(TMC).
这种方法还需要将HUD显示器的位置实时传输给TMC, 它将通过计算特定HUD显示器传输其位置的时间来确定交通状况. As a next step, 所有此类HUD设备传输其位置将进一步被绘制在城市的GIS地图上. 它也可以访问从HUD设备接收到的图像用于监控目的. If the transmission time exceeds the normal level, 特定路段应以不同颜色标示交通拥挤情况. Hence, 然后,交通管理中心可以采取相关措施,恢复正常的交通状况, proving the proactive functioning of the entire system.
Similar research activities has been done in this regard by Lotfi Abdi. The solution proposed herein is an advancement of the referred work, and has two major advantages in its name. Firstly, 这种方法旨在使城市交通和公共交通为市民带来愉快和舒适的体验. 这种方法的另一个主要优点是,它将证明对有关当局具有很高的成本效益, thereby redefining traffic management the ‘mobile’ way.
