Sistem Penjadualan Perjalanan Bas Elektronik Puduraya, Shi Leng Chong

Student Works (2000-2009)

Laporan ini membincangkan proses pembangunan suatu sistem baru yang bertajuk Sistem Penjadualan Perjalanan Bas Elektronik Puduraya (SPPBEP). Sistem baru ini diperkenalkan, direkabentuk dan dibangunkan setelab mengkaji kelemahan sistem penjadualan perjalanan bas yang sedia ada di Puduraya. Maklumat untuk membangunkan sistem ini dikumpulkan melalui temuramah dengan kakitangan syarikat bas. Maklumnat juga didapati daripada soalan soal selidik yang diberi kepada penumpang di Perhentian Bas Puduraya. Kajian bagi sistem bas syarikat bas lain juga dilakukan melalui pelayaran internet untuk mendapatkan maklumat yang berguna bagi membangunkan sistem baru ini. Sistem baru ini membolehkan penumpang mendapatkan maklumat yang perlu tanpa pergi bertauya ke semua kaunter. …

Validation Of Waimss Incident Duration Estimation Model, Wei Wu, Pushkin Kachroo, Kaan Ozbay

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research

This paper presents an effort to validate the traffic incident duration estimation model of WAIMSS (wide area incident management support system). Duration estimation model of WAIMSS predicts the incident duration based on an estimation tree which was calibrated using incident data collected in Northern Virginia. Due to the limited sample size, a full scale test of the distribution, mean and variance of incident duration was performed only for the root node of the estimation tree, white only mean tests were executed at all other nodes whenever a data subset was available. Further studies were also conducted on the model error …

Wide-Area Incident Management System On The Internet, Kaan Ozbay, Pushkin Kachroo

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research

The incident management process consists of four sequential steps-incident detection, response, clearance and recovery. Each of these components comprises of a number of operations and coordinated decision-making between the agencies involved. The provision of computer based support tools for the personnel involved will help develop appropriate strategies and increase efficiency and expediency. Existing systems are developed on various traditional computing platforms. However, with the advent of World Wide Web and Internet based programming tools such as Java, it is now possible to develop platform independent decision support tools for the incident management agencies. Any agency will be able to use …

Feedback Control Solutions To Network Level User-Equilibrium Real-Time Dynamic Traffic Assignment Problems, Pushkin Kachroo, Kaan Ozbay

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research

A new method for performing dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) is presented which is applicable in real time, since the solution is based on feedback control. This method employs the design of nonlinear H∞ feedback control systems which is robust to certain class of uncertainties in the system. The solution aims at achieving user equilibrium on alternate routes in a network setting.
