摘要: The Open Mode Integrated Transportation System (OMITS) forms a sustainable information infrastructure for communication within and between the mobile/Internet network, the roadway network, and the users social network. It manipulates the speed gap between different types of the network: information communication through cellular phones and the Internet is tremendously higher than that of vehicles on roadway, which is much faster than that of the social networking. Using agent based modeling and simulation (ABMS), the time and spatial limits of traditional transportation system can be overcome by appropriately integrating new information communication technologies into transportation services. This project extends the OMITS to social network based applications for dynamic transit service, which uses emerging information and communication technologies, including smart phones, Internet services, GPS/GIS, and database, to optimize the transportation system for improved riders experience and traffic mitigation. With the aid of the social network based OMITS App, the vehicles serve as probes for the real-time speed of the roadway network. The operation of this system essentially relies on effective information communication, accurate prediction of traffic conditions, and comprehensive understanding of transit customer behavior and traffic flow dynamics.
