AUTONOMIC SYSTEMS AUTONOMIC ROAD TRANSPORT SU...

The work on Autonomic Road Transport Support (ARTS) presented here aims at meeting the
challenge of engineering autonomic behavior in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) by
fusing research from the disciplines of traffic engineering and autonomic computing. Ideas and
techniques from leading edge artificial intelligence research have been adapted for ITS over
the last 30 years. Examples include adaptive control embedded in real time traffic control
systems  heuristic algorithms (e.g. in SAT-NAV systems)  image processing and computer vision
(e.g. in automated surveillance interpretation). Autonomic computing which is inspired from the
biological example of the body's autonomic nervous system is a more recent development. It
allows for a more efficient management of heterogeneous distributed computing systems. In the
area of computing  autonomic systems are endowed with a number of properties that are generally
referred to as self-X properties  including self-configuration  self-healing  self-optimization
self-protection and more generally self-management. Some isolated examples of autonomic
properties such as self-adaptation have found their way into ITS technology and have already
proved beneficial. This edited volume provides a comprehensive introduction to Autonomic Road
Transport Support (ARTS) and describes the development of ARTS systems. It starts out with the
visions  opportunities and challenges  then presents the foundations of ARTS and the platforms
and methods used and it closes with experiences from real-world applications and prototypes of
emerging applications. This makes it suitable for researchers and practitioners in the fields
of autonomic computing  traffic and transport management and engineering  AI  and software
engineering. Graduate students will benefit from state-of-the-art description  the study of
novel methods and the case studies provided.
