Traffic congestion leads to problems like delays, decreasing flow rate, and higher fuel consumption. Consequently, keeping traffic moving as efficiently as possible is not only important to economy but also important to environment. Traffic system is a large complex nonlinear stochastic system. Traditional mathematical methods have some limitations when they are applied in traffic control. Thus, computational intelligence (CI) technologies gain more and more attentions. Neural Networks (NNs) is a well developed CI technology with lots of promising applications in traffic signal control (TSC). In this paper, a neural network (NN) based signal controller is designed to control the traffic lights in an urban traffic road network. Scenarios of simulation are conducted under a microscopic traffic simulation software. Several criterions are collected. Results demonstrate that through online reinforcement training the controllers obtain better control effects than the widely used pre-time and actuated methods under various traffic conditions.

The ACP (Artificial societies, Computational experiments and Parallel execution) approach has provided us an opportunity to look into new methods in addressing transportation problems from new perspectives. In this paper, we present our works and results of applying ACP approach in modeling and analyzing transportation system, especially carrying out computational experiments based on artificial transportation systems. Two aspects in the modeling process are analyzed. The first is growing artificial transportation system from bottom up using agent-based technologies. The second is modeling environment impacts in simple-is-consistent principle. Finally, two computational experiments are carried out on one specific ATS, Jinan ATS, and numerical results are presented to illustrate the applications of our method.

As an efficient business process execution language which supports web services, BPEL4WS is widely supported by the academic and the industrial circles. According to the shortcomings such as number of computer terms, abstract model definition and the complex description of people activity, this paper presents easy-to-use BPEL4WS modeling method and tool which encapsulates computer terms and convert business models to BPEL4WS models directly. In comparison to the other modeling methods, our method cut down the number of modeling elements by more than 85 percent and save the modeling time by 80 percent and accelerate model running by more than 40 percent. Thus it is more appropriate for popularization.

This paper presents a generic video vehicle detection approach through multiple background-based features and statistical learning. The main idea is to configure several virtual loops (as detection zones) on the image, assuming moving vehicles may cause pixel intensities and local texture to change, and then by identifying such pixel changes to detect vehicles. In this research, multiple pattern classifiers including LDA + Adaboost, SVM, and Random Forests are used to detect vehicles that are passing through virtual loops. We extract fourteen pattern features (related to foreground area, texture change, and luminance and contrast in the local virtual loop zone and the global image) to train pattern classifiers and then detect vehicles. As experimental results illustrate, the proposed approach is quite robust to detect vehicles under complex dynamic environments, and thus is able to improve the accuracy of traffic data collection in all weather for long term.

Wireless sensor networks are characterized by multihop network. Some nodes in network are required to forward a disproportionately high amount of traffic and die early, leaving the unmonitored areas in network and leading to the problem of energy hole. This paper investigates a variety of strategies to avoid the energy hole, such as communication power control, data aggregation, nonuniform energy distribution, mobile node auxiliary and clustering. The analysis and comparison of different strategies are given and the advantages and disadvantage of them are discussed in this paper.

Linear wireless sensor networks are characterized by a linear topology and multihop forwarding patterns. Sensors closer to the base station are usually required to forward a large amount of traffic for sensors farther from the base station, leading to the environment cannot be effectively monitored. The energy consumption balance is achieved in the paper by adjusting the distance between nodes. The distance of nodes near the base station become short because they have to forward the more traffic. The node deployment is converted to optimization problems of distance distribution between nodes. The network lifetime under different number of forwarding region is discussed. Simulation results show that this deployment strategy obtains the energy consumption balance.

With the advantage of simulating the details of a transportation system, the “microsimulation” of a traffic system has long been a hot topic in the Intelligent Transportation systems (ITS) research. The Cellular Automata (CA) and the Multi-Agent System (MAS) modeling are two typical methods for the traffic microsimulation. However, the computing burden for the microsimulation and the optimization based on it is usually very heavy. In recent years the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been applied successfully in many areas for parallel computing. Compared with the traditional CPU cluster, GPU has an obvious advantage of low cost of hardware and electricity consumption. In this paper we build an MAS model for a road network of four signalized intersections and we use a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize the traffic signal timing with the objective of maximizing the number of the vehicles leaving the network in a given period of time. Both the simulation and the optimization are accelerated by GPU and a speedup by a factor of 195 is obtained. In the future we will extend the work to large scale road networks.

Most researches of traffic incident auto-detection are based on the data from fixed detectors, which are limited by costs and position. In order to resolve this problem, existing algorithms of traffic incident automatic detection are analyzed and compared, and an algorithm of traffic incident auto-detection are provided based on mobile-detection technology. The traffic data are grouped in 5-min intervals, analyzed by a three-layer BP neural network, and utilized for traffic incident detection. 16 traffic incidents of different locations and different levels are modeled in the simulation experiment based on VISSIM, and detection rate, false alarm rate and average detection time are adopted as indicators to evaluate the algorithm. Finally, the algorithm is proved to be effective and applicable in practice.

Forecasting group behavior is critical to national and international security. Various forecasting methods have been developed previously. However, the majority of them are data-driven methods and rely heavily on the structured data which are often hard to obtain. To overcome the limitation of previous methods, we propose a novel plan recognition method for detecting multiple group behavior based on graph search. We further conduct human experiments in security informatics domain to empirically evaluate our proposed method. The experimental results show the effectiveness of our method.
