Since it is difficult to fit measured parameters using the conventional traffic model, a new traffic density and average speed model is introduced in this paper. To determine traffic model structures accurately, a model identification method for uncertain nonlinear system is developed. To simplify uncertain nonlinear problem, this paper presents a new robust criterion to identify the multi-section tra~c model structure of freeway efficiently. In the new model identification criterion, numerically efficient U-D factotization is used to avoid computing the determinant values of two complex matrices. By estimating the values of U-D factor of data matrix, both the upper and lower bounds of system uncertainties are described. Thus a model structure identification algorithm is proposed. Comparisons between identification outputs and simulation outputs of traffic states show that the traffic states can be accurately predicted by means of the new traffic models and the structure identification criterion.

“…It is widely believed (for instance Shen, 1997;Nozick et al, 1998;Papageorgiou, 2003;Loukopoulos et al, 2005) that in recent decades increased travel demand has led to a rise in congestion especially in urban contexts and that there is a growing need to implement suitable measures to improve traffic conditions. Some of the measures to improve transportation system conditions (see, for instance, Wootton et al, 1995;Dia, 2002;Vianna et al, 2004;Gao and Chabini, 2006) are based on optimal resource management by means of the application of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). In this context, amongst others, two groups of tools have been developed to tackle the above problems: Advanced Traveller Information Systems (ATIS) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS).…”

This paper presents the current state of the research on the on-board recording system application for the detection of critical situations in railways. The estimation of the rail vehicle state is based on signals registered by using a specialized on-board device. The critical situation of a rail vehicle can consist of diesel locomotive engine dysfunctions, high vibrations, exceeding of limit velocity, acceleration or inclination. The monitoring of the vehicle state needs a set of sensors. The movement parameters are acquired from a GPS device, accelerometers and gyroscopic MEMS sensors. Especially interesting here is the application of GPS signals, because GPS not only gives a geographical position, but also the vehicle velocity. The accelerometer sensors which measured the acceleration in three perpendicular directions were assigned to operate together with GPS in order to establish the vehicle position and for the detection of exceeding any limit acceleration value. The gyroscopic MEMS sensors support the position and route detection and also show any exceeding in vehicle limit inclinations. Additionally, some accelerate sensors record the vibroacoustic signals taken from chosen places on the engine body or other vehicle parts for the assessment of the engine state, particularly in terms of potential failures. The analysis of the additional acceleration signals was performed using specialized signal processing methods and some specialized algorithms based on artificial intelligence (e.g. Fourier analysis, wavelets, nonlinear methods based on deterministic chaos theory, short time methods and support vector machines). The first results are promising and show the possibility of using the above described approach to detect the combustion locomotive state.
