Abstract

Scalability in urban traffic systems comes in a wide variety of forms. At one end we have computing environments for building hierarchical traffic telematics distributed systems based on non-locking distributed shared memory algorithm. At the other end of scalability, to aid future automatic traffic movement in cities with displayed illuminated signs, algorithms were developed for the recognition of text, e.g. Chinese, character signs in real time which could ultimately form an important part of street navigation in intelligent transport systems.
