Libros de Introducción a los Sistemas Inteligentes de Transporte

A continuación se ofrece una descripción de un libro que CITE recomienda a todos los estudiantes que estén tomando el curso Fundamentos de los Sistemas Inteligentes de Transporte y Gestión del Transporte. El libro sigue el contenido del curso pero además contiene información adicional que no aparece en el curso on–line.

Sistemas de Transporte Inteligentes
Editor - ITE, Editor - Donna Nelson, Director, Maryland Transportation Technology Transfer Center

Este libro ofrece a los profesionales en transporte y a los profesionales en general un panorama amplio sobre los sistemas inteligentes de transporte (ITS). El capítulo introductorio explora las razones por las cuales los sistemas ITS han surgido como una disciplina muy importante. También explica qué areas abarca la disciplina y examina los temas que deberá enfrentar el profesional que decida trabajar en este ámbito, cada vez más importante. Los capítulos siguientes desarrollan y explican muchas facetas de estos sistemas, como por ejemplo las normas tecnicas de los sistemas ITS, la Arquitectura del Sistema, tecnologías ITS y temas relacionados con el despliegue de estos sistemas. Cada capítulo fue escrito por autores que están dedicados al desarrollo y despliegue de los sistemas ITS en Estados Unidos.

Sensor Technologies and Data Requirements for ITS
Lawrence Klein

Beginning with descriptions of parameters that characterize the flow of vehicles on freeways, arterial roads, and feeder routes, this hands-on book examines intrusive and non-intrusive traffic sensors and associated technologies that measure traffic flow and assist in the management of congestion. You get the latest information about sensors that provide wider coverage areas and a larger variety of traffic flow parameters than the more conventional inductive loops. The operating characteristics of these measuring devices is illustrated through detailed discussions of traffic-responsive arterial signal control, freeway incident detection, ramp metering, electronic toll and traffic management, commercial vehicle operations, advanced traveler information systems, and sensor installation and maintenance issues.
