To demonstrate the cutting edge achievements of Intelligent Transportation System technologies in improving safety and efficiency of road traffics, the 15th ITS world congress official closed five blocks of 11th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.
Highlights from the demonstrations:
Volkswagen Group of America showed autonomous driving vehicle with a Passat, which was jointly developed by VW's Palo Alto-based Electronics Research Lad and the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab.
Audi's demonstration concentrated on the emission reduction using connected, intelligent vehicles and environment friendly navigation, which have been developed by its Clean Air initiative.
Nissan Motor Co. displayed Signal Violation Warning, Cross Traffic Notification, Oncoming Traffic Notification, and Cooperative Intelligent Cruise Control systems, which is currently in development. These systems are developed by Nissan as part of the U.S. DOT Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) project and they use the DSRC technology for inter-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-raodside communication.
Toyota's Smart Car showed the DSRC technology for car-to-car and car-to-roadside communication can be used for pedestrian and vehicle collision avoidance, and in traffic congestion monitoring and control system.
Raytheon Company's proof-of-concept demonstration shows the ability of 5.9GHz DSRC technology in cooperative pedestrian warning system, which is announced as the first system focusing on warning the endangered pedestrian.
INRIX, a traffic information provider, announced at ITS that it's providing traffic information to DOT and other agencies in 11 states versus only one state.
The Best of ITS Awards this year went to Visteon for its Light Vehicle Integrated Vehicle Based Safety System (IVBSS), which integrates forward collision warning, road departure warning, lane change merge alerts, and blind spot detection.
DENSO exhibited its 5.9GHz DSRC wireless devices enabling the car-to-car and car-to-roadside communications. Besides, DENSO also demonstrated its gaze detection system and adaptive front lighting technologies.
Kapsch TrafficCom Inc. introduced the 5.9GHz DSRC based R155Multiband Configurable Networking Unit (MNCU) whose pre-version has been used in VII test beds in California, Michigan, and New York.
Mark IV presented its electronic toll collection system.
EarthCam, the international leader in intelligent network technology, unveiled its latest webcam advances at the congress.

Intelligent Transpotation System -- Development in the U.S.
"Smart Highway Lab" in Michigan
11-18-2008 -- The Michigan Department of Transportation has announced to deploy advanced technology along the Telegraph Road corridor in Oakland Country for the sake of next generation vehicle safety and mobility applications. In this plan, the DSRC radios will be used to broadcast traffic signal information.
"The connected vehicle concept gives us the unique opportunity to shape the future of transportation by improving safety and mobility on heavily traveled highways and permitting countless other applications that can help us all spend more time with our families and less time on the road," said MDOT director Kirk T. Steudle.
"Smart Way" in Tennessee
11-18-2008, advanced information technologies are used for improving the safety and operation of highway and public transit in the TDOT SmartWay project. The components of SmartWay include roadway traffic sensor, camera video surveillance, dynamic message signs, hellp freeway service patrols, transportation management centers, incident management, construction information, TDOT Smartway Information System (TSIS), and Information on Weather-Related Road Conditions.

Tyco Electronics' WiMAX Based System will Serve for Pennsylvania Highway Administration
Lowell, Mass., U.S., - Nov, 17th - Announce by Tyco Electronics Wireless Systems, VIDA (Voice, Interoperability, Data, Access) broadband communication network from Tyco has been selected by Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) for improving the public safety and helping reduce the roadway congestion. The VIDA system will support the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) by transmitting real-tiomoe video to the PTC's traffic operations center in Harrisburg.
The selected VIDA broadband systems are based on the IEEE 802.16 (or WiMAX) technologies, which can provide better QoS and avoid the interference problem as suffered by those systems that work on the 2.4GHz or 5GHz license free band., e.g. WiFi. Besides, this system provides also easy of management and good scalability based on the full IP network solution.
