Abstract

Highway Traffic Management System (HTMS) is one of the important functional Systems of Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS), which deals with data collection from roadside equipments, in order to provide more efficient services to highway users and to swiftly react in case of hazardous situations. More specifically, HTMS plays a vital role in road transportation systems, due to these reasons: a) High service capability in terms of both volume and speed, b) Exhibit limited controllability feature because of the nature of vehicular traffic, c) Recent technology developments enable new applications with the use of heterogeneous traffic data. This article provides a comprehensive summary of HTMS by providing a brief outline of existing literature and recent trends followed by the highlights of future research directions of this domain.

Keywords: Intelligent Transport System, Highway Traffic Management System, Traffic State Estimation
