The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is carrying out a two-phase
project called SmartPark to demonstrate commercial technologies for conveying
information about parking availability in real-time to truck drivers on the road 24 hours
per day, seven days per week. During Phase I, two technologies (i.e., video imaging and
magnetic sensor) will be field tested for their capability to collect data to determine
whether a truck parking area is full. One of the two technologies will be continued for
Phase II, which will be demonstrating how information on parking availability can be
disseminated in real time and used in real time to divert truckers on the road from areas
that are full to areas that have space. This is the first deployment of Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) for truck parking availability in the world.

The North/West Passage Program is a collaboration of eight adjacent Northern states
along the I-90/I-94 corridor from Seattle, Washington to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
These states share a long term vision that travelers will one day receive information
about weather, road construction, and major incident event summaries for the entire
corridor without the need to check individual state reports. A number of ITS
standards exist for data and information exchange, however the standards allow for
many optional phrases when describing events or conditions. This paper presents an
effort to develop a set of corridor-wide consistent event descriptions that can be used
by each North/West Passage state to describe major events, and ultimately support a
very effective exchange of event descriptions.

This paper summarises some of the achievements of information strategy work currently
conducted in the Directorate of Traffic Operations (DTO) of Transport for London (TfL),
United Kingdom. In particular the paper highlights a comprehensive system and data
audit, an intelligence requirement capture exercise, and a network analysis methodology.

Destia Traffic distributes reliable and real time traffic information in different services to travellers.
Services are built upon data in traffic information platform (TIP), which was decided to expand to all Northern Europe after it was built for Finland. The aim of the project is to attain and open traffic information business in the target area. The project was divided into three sections: data acquisition, data operation and internationalizing services and partnerships. From the TIP it is possible to distribute information to different services and end terminals and not only for private car users but also for the users of public transportation. The biggest challenges in the project were its’ schedule and very ambitious goals. The state of traffic information systems and services varies very much in different countries in the target area at the moment. However, there is already possible to get real time traffic information from Destia Traffic as a one source covering all Northern Europe.

This thesis introduce a methodology for calculating OD flow of bus stops
based on the data of intelligent card of public transit. First, the date for deducing OD
flow of bus stops and the process of data preparing are expatiated, then analyzing
the characteristics of intelligent card of Beijing public transit, with the data and
characteristics all the possible interchange route-pairs, interchange stops and
interchange directions can be estimated. Identifying number of transfers for each
route-pairs, based on the data of intelligent card. Finally, the methodology of
calculating the OD flow of bus stops of the whole Beijing is introduced.
