VEHICLE DASHBOARD TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEMS AT A 4-WAY INTERSECTION
… no improvements in their overall functionality. Traffic lights at an intersection are a perfect example of a technology that has remained behind the times. While there is a lot of potential for reducing CO2 gas emissions, oil consumption, and commuting times, research in this area has resulted in …

Fuel minimization of a moving vehicle in suburban traffic
"In this thesis we study how a driver could use traffic light information in order to adapt his speed profile to save fuel. The mission is given by a final destination to reach (through a set of traffic lights) within a specific deadline and the objective is to minimize the fuel consumption. We …

Augmenting anomaly detection for autonomous vehicles with symbolic rules
… an RC car. We created a set of rules regarding traffic light color transitions to test the car's ability to navigate cones (which represent traffic light colors) and detect anomalies in the traffic light transition order. Anomalies regularly occurred in the car's driving environment and its …

From the Museum of Lost Smells
… A young couple finds passion while waiting at a traffic light. These and other stories in the collection explore themes of loneliness, isolation, and coming-of-age in the contemporary American landscape.</p>

Selection of an Evidence-Based Pediatric Weight Management Program for the Dan River Region
… multiple studies. The programs included the Traffic Light Diet, Bright Bodies, and Golan and colleagues' Home Environmental Change Model. All three programs included a high frequency of in-person sessions delivered over a 6-month period, but one included an adapted version that delivered the …

ENHANCING TRAFFIC FLOW USING VEHICLE DASHBOARD TRAFFIC LIGHTS WITH V2I NETWORKS
… on streets nowadays makes it hard to manage traffic flow on the streets, especially in regards to intersection management. Research studies have been conducted to replace the Pre-timed traffic lights at the intersections with adaptive traffic lights control systems that base their timings on …

Modelling drivers’ behaviour within the dilemma zone at traffic signal junctions
… decisions following the onset of an amber traffic light signal under the effect of the dilemma zone where a driver can neither stop safely nor cross and clear the junction before the onset of red. The purpose of building this model is to investigate the effects of various parameters (such …

Changing user behavior with home electricity use to reduce and shift the demand on the electric grid
… experiment consisted of a prototype showing a traffic light color pattern of two lights. The first light indicated the price/emissions metric chosen based on user allegiance. The second light indicated the usage of electricity in their home.

High performance and provably safe polling-systems-based control algorithms of all-autonomous intersections
… intersections, where vehicles arriving in a traffic intersection with no traffic light adjust their speeds to cross through the intersection as quickly as possible. In this thesis, we propose a coordination control algorithm for this problem, assuming stochastic models for the arrival times …

The Use Of The Ucf Driving Simiulator To Test The Contribution Of Larger Size Vehicles (lsvs) In Rear-end Collisions And Red Light Running On Intersections.
… roadway safety and decrease the number of traffic collisions. In spring 2002, the Center for Advanced Traffic System Simulation (CATSS), at the University of Central Florida, acquired a sophisticated reconfigurable driving simulator. This simulator, which consists of a late model truck cab, …

Refining Value-at-Risk estimates: An Extreme Value Theory Approach
… independent and conditional coverage test, Basel traffic light test, Santos and Alves (2012) new independent test, Dowd (2002) bootstrap back-test, and Engle and Manganelli (2004) Dynamic Quantile test show that Value-at-Risk models constructed following extreme value theory produced reliable …

A delayed response policy for autonomous intersection management
… framework to be a substitute for current traffic light and stop signs. Automobiles in modern urban settings spend a lot of time idling at intersections. In 2007, US drivers wasted 4.16 billion hours of their time and 2.81 billion gallons of gas in congestion, costing a total of 87.2 …

Safe and Efficient Intelligent Intersection Control of Autonomous Vehicles
… of safe and efficient intersection crossing traffic management of autonomous and connected ground traffic. Toward this objective, we propose several algorithms to handle different traffic environments. First, an algorithm that is called the Discrete-time occupancies trajectory (DTOT) based …

Fuzzy logic-based intersection management for delay minimization in intelligent transportation systems using V2X communication
… the intelligent transportation system. However, traffic delays continue to be a major concern due to the in-quantifiable effect it has directly on traffic participants and indirectly on other aspects of life such as the economy and emergency services. This thesis proposed a fuzzy logic-based …

Minimizing redundant communication in vehicle networks for city mapping
… situations as mundane as identifying traffic light outages to events as critical as amber alerts, where real-time updates on a vehicle's location could save lives. With many vehicles frequently passing by the same objects, these vehicles are bound to accumulate large amounts of …

XFM: An Incremental Methodology for Developing Formal Models
… XFM with a graded set of examples including a traffic light controller, a DLX pipeline and a Smart Building control system. To make the regressive model checking steps feasible with current model checking tools, we need to keep the model size increments under control. We therefore analyze the …

An evaluation of a point of purchase labeling intervention to improve health literacy and healthy eating choices
… labeled with stickers that looked like miniature traffic lights with the appropriate color light lit up through menu boards and nametags. Posters, emails and table tents were also used to communicate about the intervention. In order to provide various levels of exposure, the first eatery had the …
