Traffic Flow Control Using Probe Vehicle Data

UTMS (Universal Traffic Management Society) of Japan is researching the technologies and specifications for traffic flow control using probe data for CO2 emissions reduction. First, the authors defined the services which realized in advanced traffic flow control and examined the technological requirements of each service in 2008. In 2009, they conducted some simulation experiments to verify the requirements of probe data and key technologies for the realization of the services. The authors report on the outline of the services and the results of the simulation experiments in this paper.
