Abstract
With the growing number of vehicles traveling on public roads, traffic congestion has become a serious problem, resulting in more unpredictable travel times, increased fuel consumption and pollution. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), already being developed by several countries, aim to improve safety, mobility and environmental performance. The goal of the INSIGMA project is to develop a system providing functionality of a typical ITS: real-time traffic monitoring, route planning and traffic control. In this paper we discuss the concepts and solutions developed within the project: dynamic map, sensors – videodetector and GPS tracker – as well as advanced route planning and traffic control algorithms.
Work has been co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the Innovative Economy Operational Programme, INSIGMA project no. POIG.01.01.02-00-062/09.
