Route Planning Methodology of an Advanced Traveller Information System in Vilnius City

Abstract

As a subsystem of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), an Advanced Traveller Information System (ATIS) disseminates real-time traffic information to travellers. To help them with making better decisions on choosing their routes, a strong need to predict traffic congestion and to disseminate the predicted congestion information relating to travellers can be seen. This paper describes a methodology used by drivers for calculating an optimal driven route in Vilnius. The paper discusses how ATIS systems will likely evolve the experience of Information Service Providers (ISP) and optimal route planning calculations. A few methods of route planning have been taken into account. The paper presents the following types of route calculation: 1) the shortest route; 2) the quickest route; 3) the quickest forecasted route according to historical traffic information. Also, the paper deals with the architecture of the WEB based information system for drivers in Vilnius and analyzes data on traffic workflow. Furthermore, a comprehensive route planning procedure that forecasts data on driving time considering historical traffic is followed.

Sustainability Assessment of Heavy Metals and Road Maintenance Salts in Sweep Sand From Roadside Environment

“…in the industrial area, present or former industry is the main direct factor, followed by parking or repair of transport, followed by main traffic loads (taraškevičius et al 2008). The street network of Vilnius consists of residential and industrial areas, which has the heaviest traffic in lithuania and ranks highest for heavy trucks on city streets (Jakimavičius, Burinskienė 2010;ustinovichius et al 2011). in addition to urban activities (e.g.…”

Modelling of Internal Combustion Engines’ Emission Through the Use of Traffic Flow Mathematical Models

“…Jović and Đorić (2010) used programming package PTV Visio to model traffic flows on the urban street network and based on that present vehicle emissions. Jakimavičius and Burinskienė (2010) investigated vehicle flow optimization methods and their application possibilities when informing traffic us-ers about the situation in the city, and in their article (Jakimavičius, Burinskienė 2009a, 2009b) presented the rating system of the Vilnius city residential areas by using expert methods and pointed out the residential areas with the highest traffic volumes of the city. Kliukas et al (2008) investigated the impact of vibrations caused by vehicles on buildings with the aim to preserve cultural values in the city of Vilnius.…”
