Advanced Transportation Optimization Systems (ATOS)

Abstract With the advent of wireless technology over the past decade society has seen a number of new and innovative applications in industries outside of the traditional field of electronics. Another major innovation has been the introduction of systems engineering and analysis into the field of transportation engineering. This proposal seeks to define a potential combination of technologies to create an effective traffic management system with the main goal of increasing potential capacity and flow rate. The system will utilize wireless DSRC or Dedicated Short Range Communications to provide a number of backbone features. These benefits will stem from the interconnectivity of vehicle data into information systems for analysis and automation.
