HITS: A History-Based Intelligent Transportation System

ABSTRACT Transportation is the driving force of any country. Today we are facing an explosion in the number of motor vehicles that affects our daily routines. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) aim to provide efficient tools that solve traffic problems. Predicting route congestions during different day periods can help drivers choose better routes for their trips. In this paper we propose “HITS” a traffic control system that integrates moving object database techniques [30, 28] along with data warehousing techniques [15]. Our system uses historical traffic information to answer queries about moving objects on road network, and to analyze historical traffic conditions to enhance future traffic related decisions. Keywords Intelligent transportation systems, spatio-temporal data warehouses, moving object databases Original Source URL: http://aircconline.com/ijdkp/V1N2/2111ijdkp03.pdf For more details : http://airccse.org/journal/ijdkp/vol1.htm
