Abstract:
Motorway’s personnel tasks management and incidents monitoring, and response are critical processes that contribute to the motorway’s orderly and smooth operation. Existing management practices utilize SCADA technologies that control motorway actuator systems as well as various means of personnel communications mobile technologies. Nevertheless, contemporary motorways lack a unified incident response solution that tracks resources, sends notification alerts when necessary, and automates incident resolution. This paper presents a new holistic and unified management and response system called Resources Management System (RMS). This system was originally implemented as a generic motorways resources management system for the EGNATIA ODOS motorway that uses it in Greece. The implemented RMS provides real-time resources tracking, personnel utilization algorithms, and data mining capabilities towards incident confrontation. It operates as an incidents’ collection and resources central communication interface. It is also capable of incident response and completion time categorization; real-time tunnel exits sensory monitoring, staff mobilization, and tracking system. Furthermore, the RMS includes machine learning methodologies and smart agents (bots) for solving the problem of estimating and evaluating the response and completion time of incidents based on previous successful incidents’ confrontations.

Abstract The paper reports on finds of the invasive species Senecio inaequidens along motorways in Poland and Slovakia. The species was already mentioned in the floras of both countries but until recently there had been no reports from motorways there. In 2015, a large population of Senecio inaequidens was found along the A4 motorway in Poland. In 2013, it was collected along the D2 motorway in Slovakia. Intensive road traffic is probably the main vector of Senecio inaequidens invasion along motorways in Central Europe. Motor vehicles can carry the propagules over long distances. The newly recorded sites along the A4 in Poland and the D2 in Slovakia are part of the species’ invasion eastwards. It is assumed that Senecio inaequidens will continue to spread along motorways in both countries and in the region as a whole.

Abstract:
Motorways represent seven per cent of the urban arterial road network in Melbourne yet carry 40 per cent of the urban arterial road travel in terms of vehicle kilometres travelled and this percentage is growing. The number of casualty crashes on metropolitan Melbourne motorways has increased over the decade at a faster rate than on other urban roads in metropolitan Melbourne. Police crash reports more often attribute crash cause to traffic conditions and vehicle interactions rather than infrastructure. As urban motorways are generally built to the highest standards, a new way of looking at motorway safety is needed. This led to the formulation of a hypothesis that the dynamics of the traffic flow are a significant contributor to casualty crashes on urban motorways. To test this hypothesis, in-depth analysis was undertaken on metropolitan Melbourne motorways. Crash data was linked to traffic data including vehicle occupancy (a proxy measure for density), vehicle speed and flow. Occupancy was used to categorise the ‘traffic states’ ranging from free flow to flow breakdown (congestion). Applying a Chi Square Goodness of Fit Test to the linked showed a statistically significant association between traffic state and crashes, with a higher than expected crashes in the traffic states where flow breakdown is relatively certain or has occurred. The results of this analysis can be used to improve safety on urban motorways through the development of Intelligent Transport System strategies to keep the motorway operating at conditions that minimise flow breakdown risk.

Abstract:
Motorways are large infrastructures that alter the environmental resources in a territory, while constituting an important element through which the individual comes into contact with the landscape. Motorways are integrated in the landscape through their layout design and construction, the aesthetic details of minor structures (design and building materials) and the treatment of embankments and landscape planting. In this paper, we test the following hypotheses: motorway elements are related to the perception of landscape quality—from the point of view of the road users—and the aesthetic characteristics of minor infrastructures and planting affect the quality of the landscape perceived from the roads. These research questions were tested by comparing the visual quality of the landscapes captured in 128 photographs taken from sections of motorways in Spain. We compared the results obtained from (a) a photo-based method, and (b) the public’s landscape preferences determined using a survey of 737 people. The results show a correlation between the landscape quality values obtained using the model and the landscape preferences expressed by the public. We also found that the presence of the motorway elements and their aesthetic characteristics are significant in the users’ perception. These results can be applied in the decision-making process for potential investments to integrate new and existing motorways in the landscape.

Abstract:
This paper provides a system dynamic model for reducing the number of motorway accidents due to wrong-way driving. Motorway accidents are often fatal due to high speeds. It is therefore necessary to carry out all the possible countermeasures in order to achieve adequate traffic management. One of the reasons for motorway accidents is driving in the wrong direction. Based on the analysis of the data on motorway accidents caused by driving in the wrong direction and based on the knowledge of individual project elements of junctions and slip roads, this paper will focus on this area. The possible countermeasures, presented here for preventing drivers from driving in the wrong direction on motorways drastically reduce the number of U-turn maneuvers that result in driving in the wrong direction and influence the level of safety on motorways. With the help of this model of system dynamics the countermeasures for reducing the number of such drivers will be confirmed and their effects will be shown.

Abstract:
The article discusses the state of road traffic safety on the A1 motorway, on its section passing the territory of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The presented data concerns the years 2016 - 2017. As it is evidenced by statistical data prepared by Police, motorways are characterized by the highest level of accidents rates of fatalities and injuries from all types of public roads at present in Poland. Therefore, it is necessary to take effective actions to improve road safety on all motorways in Poland, including the A1 motorway passing the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The paper presents the generic structure of road accidents, the time of their occurrence and circumstances, conditions of the surface caused by weather, as well as the reasons road accidents occurs.

Abstract:
SUMMARY: The basic objective of this research is to explore the contribution of motorway network development in minimizing accident costs. Results of the study are based on Croatian experience. The likelihood of a statistically negative correlation between the total motorway length and traffic accident costs will be investigated through observation of variations in the total length of motorways and the number and type of accidents that occurred. The results are based on statistical methods of regression and correlation analysis. The analysis spans the period between 2000 and 2013. The conducted regression analysis has confirmed that one newly constructed kilometre of motorways results in a decrease of social accident costs by 761,488 €. The gathered data suggest that the expected effects of further construction of Croatian motorway network on traffic safety are lessening, so in order to increase traffic safety further measures to improve traffic culture of all traffic participants should be implemented with more vigour.

Abstract:
Road development in Saudi Arabia is considered one of the major products of the social and economic development that the country has witnessed in the last two decades. In the last decade, motorways were built to connect major population centres in the Kingdom using high international standards (Figure 1.1). However, the motorway service areas which took place along these motorways sides were incompatible with the motorway system. This disparity in standards between the motorways and the motorway services is related to the planning, design, development, and facilities outcome in these service areas in contrast to similar services provided in more developed countries. Many factors have definitely contributed to the formation of the existing services, because they were the outcome of a set of planning and development procedures which involves different interests from different contributors such as the governmental controlling authorities, the operators of the service areas, and the users themselves.

Abstract:
This thesis contributes to a new understanding of the motorway network and its traffic movements as a problem of practical accomplishment. It is based on a detailed ethnomethodological study of incident management in the Highways Agency’s motorway control room, which observes the methods operators use to detect, diagnose and clear incidents to accomplish safe and reliable traffic. Its main concern is how millions of vehicles can depend on the motorway network to fulfil obligations for travel when it is constantly compromised by disruption from congestion, road accidents and vehicle breakdowns. It argues that transport geography and new mobilities research have overlooked questions of practical accomplishment; they tend to treat movement as an inevitable demand, producing fixed technical solutions to optimise it, or a self-evident phenomenon, made meaningful only through the intensely human experience of mobility. In response, the frame of practical accomplishment is developed to analyse the ways in which traffic is ongoingly organised through the situated and contingent practices that take place in the control room. The point is that traffic does not move by magic; it has to be planned for, produced and persistently worked at. This is coupled with an understanding of network topology that reconsiders the motorway network as always in process by virtue of the materially heterogeneous relations it keeps, drawing attention to the intensely collaborative nature of work between operators and technology that permits the management of disruption at-a-distance and in real time. This work is by no means straightforward – the actions of monitoring, detecting, diagnosing and classifying incidents and managing traffic are revealed to be complexly situated and prone to uncertainty, requiring constant ordering work to accomplish them. In conclusion, this thesis argues for the frame of practical accomplishment to be taken seriously, rendering the work of transport networks available for sustained analysis.

Abstract:
This thesis consists of five scientific articles oriented towards capacity. Managing capacity constraints with associated delays is a big issue at new design as well as at trimming existing traffic facilities. In larger Swedish cities these challenges have become more and more important as a result of growing traffic demand due to rapid population increase.Models for estimating capacity and delay are available, but not many are calibrated for Swedish conditions due to the high effort required. This thesis documents development and calibration of new models for motorway links, entry and exit lanes and weaving areas and an developed space-time model with the ability to calculate queue length, delay, etc.The first article is focused on identifying weaknesses in the former Swedish capacity method for motorways, and development of new models overcoming these shortcomings. The development includes new models for jam density at queue, capacity in weaving areas and fundamental flow-density relationships for 15 different highway types for inclusion in the new Swedish capacity manual.The second article describes the development of a Swedish motorway space-time model to estimate travel times and queues in oversaturated conditions based on the American FREEVAL model in Highway Capacity Manual 2010 (HCM 2010). Calibration and validation of the model has been performed with data from the Motorway Control System (MCS) in Stockholm. A good correspondence was obtained for most cases, but further calibration and validation efforts are required for entry and exit lanes.The third article describes further development of the intersection model in the Swedish microscopic model “Rural Traffic Simulator (RuTSim). This is a continuation of the work documented in the author’s licentiate thesis published in 2002. The development focused on simulation of intersections using a new concept on lane use not included in the old RuTSim model. The model describes Swedish rural intersections with flared approaches providing a non-discreet lane use due to vehicle types in queue. New data for calibration and validation data was also generated. The validation results showed good correspondence between simulated and empirical delay results. The new intersection model is now implemented in RuTSim, providing new tools for estimation of capacity, delay and queue length already included in Swedish guidelines and capacity manuals/software (Capcal).The fourth article describes the development of a new capacity model for roadwork zones. Focus is on the resulting capacity of one lane due to several reduction factors. These factors include impacts of closed road shoulders, reduction of number of lanes, diversion of traffic to the opposite carriageway, commuting traffic, length of work zone, lane width and type of road work. The first two correction factors were successfully validated in a full-scale test on the E6 motorway in Gothenburg.The fifth article describes development and implementation of a new harmonization algorithm for MCS systems on motorways designed to increase bottleneck capacity and throughput. Two different models were developed, one of which was implemented in the existing MCS system on E4 Södertäljevägen south of Stockholm. Full-scale trials were carried out with a model based on trigger levels in terms of flow. The second model based on the difference in the variance of speed during two following time periods was tested offline also with very good results.

Abstract:
This study aimed to achieve a better understanding of the visual and noise impacts of motorways and their integrated impact on the environmental quality via an aural-visual interaction approach, to contribute to more reliable and efficient assessments of the impacts. The study was based on perceptual experiments involving human participants using computer-visualised scenes and edited audio recordings as experimental stimuli. Factors related to road project characteristics and existing landscape characters that potentially influence the perceived visual impact of motorways were first investigated on without considering the impact from moving traffic. An online preference survey was conducted for this part of study. The results showed substantial visual impact from motorways especially in more natural landscapes and significant increase in the impact by opaque noise barriers. Map-based predictors were identified and a regression model was developed to predict and map the perceived visual impact in GIS. The second part of the study investigated the effects of traffic condition, distance to road and background landscape on the perceived visual impact of motorway traffic, and the contribution of traffic noise to the perceived visual impact. A laboratory experiment was carried out where experimental scenarios were presented to participants both with and without sound. The results showed significant visual impact from motorway traffic which was higher in the natural landscape than in the residential counterpart, increased by traffic volume and decreased by distance. Noise increased the perceived visual impact by a largely constant level despite changes in noise level and other factors. With findings on visual impact from above studies and knowledge on noise impact from current literature, the third part of this study, with a second laboratory experiment, investigated on the perceived integrated impact of visual intrusion and noise of motorways, and explored the predictability of the impact by noise exposure indices. The results showed that traffic volume expressed by noise emission level was the most influential factor, followed by distance and background landscape. A regression model using noise level at receiver position and type of background landscape as predictors was developed, explaining about a quarter of the variation in the perceived impact. Concerning the acoustical and visual effects of noise barriers found on perceived environmental quality, the fourth part of the study focused on mitigation of the integrated visual and noise impact by noise barrier. A third laboratory experiment was conducted and the results showed that noise barriers always had either beneficial or insignificant effect in mitigating integrated impact, and the effect was largely similar to that of tree belt. Generally, barriers varying in size and transparency did not differ much in their performance, but there seems to be some difference by barrier size at different distances. Lastly, using the above findings of this study, impact mappings as possible prototype of more advanced tools to assist visual and noise impact assessment were demonstrated.

Abstract:
In recent years transport policy at an European Level has been focused on reducing the share of road transportation and promote alternative transportation means in order to reduce road congestion and carbon footprint. One of the solutions proposed has been promoting Short Sea Shipping (SSS) transportation combined with land transportation to become a door-to-door alternative to the monomodal road alternative. The maritime centered option would hit to birds with a stone: reduce congestion in the most urbanized areas of the European Union and partly replacing heavy polluting truck haulage for an environmentally friendlier option. The European Commission launched many polices and initiatives to make the modal shift happen, the crown jewel being the launch of multiple initiatives promoting the establishment of a system of Motorways of the Seas. Those are links between ports with higher standards in terms of travel time, costs and flexibility, which can compete one-on-one with road haulage among the countries in the Union. Despite different efforts from the public administration to kick off MoS lines and ensure their competitiveness, the expected momentum is still yet to come. In the light of this, this thesis aims at providing tools to assess the competitiveness of existing and MoS line to-be, to quantify the room for improvement available and the effects that some changes at an operational and strategical level might have on the success of any specific line. Particularly, the thesis presented aims at three specific objectives: (1) to identify the strategic potential of SSS in all its forms, considering the characteristics of the demand (goods to be moved) and the role of RoRo and MoS shipping in the global picture; (2) to identify the most sensible procedures in RoRo terminals operation to be addressed to improve their performance and perception from the end user, and; (3) To understand the costs of the supply chain, and the cost structure of RoRo shipping lines, and their sensitiveness in front of market changes, pricing and public funding policies. To approach each issue different qualitative, analytical and simulating models are used depending on the concerned problem. The strategic assessment makes use interviews to identify the main requirements that a transporter might face when dealing with SSS. The role of the terminal is assessed by means of two separate models: from one side an analytical model is used to assess the relationship between capacity and quality by means of quantifying the service time the ship spends in a port and calculate the probability of delays. On the other side, the resilience of the port is assessed with an arborescence interlinking its current vulnerabilities, their causes and effects and their probability to happen. Finally, and regarding the business models, first a cost and time model is constructed for each of them and tested against variations on some of the variables and from there, a tool to calculate the optimal deployment of the shipping line to ensure the maximum shift (or profit) is provided. In that case, the model is complemented with the adaptation of a transportation discrete choice model. Overall, the tools should be helpful to assess the potential of a shipping line from its planning level to its final operational deployment.
Els darrers anys, la política de transports a nivell europeu s'ha focalitzat en reduir el pes del transport per carretera de mercaderies i promoure mitjans de transport que li siguin alternatius, com a mesures per reduir la congestió a les carreteres i la petjada ecològica. Una de les solucions que s'ha posat sobre la taula, és l'anomenat Transport Marítim de Curta Distància (TMCD o SSS, en les seves sigles en anglès), com a una veritable alternativa bimodal (ferrocarril/carretera combinats amb transport marítim) a l'opció de transport monomodal per carretera. Diversos estudis certifiquen que el transport porta-a-porta transcorregut parcialment amb TMCD acostuma a registrar menors externalitats (bàsicament costos ambientals i de congestió) que el transport per carretera per cada tona transportada. Des d'un punt de vista operatiu, el TMCD i especialment la seva versió en forma d'Autopistes del Mar (AdM o MoS), enteses com a enllaços entre ports amb altes prestacions pel que fa a temps de viatge, flexibilitat i freqüència a un cost competitiu s'han estudiat àmpliament com a una alternativa directa i equivalent al transport per carretera. Però malgrat els esforços fets des de l'administració pública per promoure les línies d'AdM i assegurar-ne la competitivitat, aquestes no han obtingut l'impuls previst inicialment. L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi, de fet, és proveir un conjunt d'eines per tal d'avaluar la competitivitat de qualsevol AdM i quantificar-ne el marge de millora i l'efecte que alguns canvis a nivell operatiu i estratègic podrien tenir en la seva competitivitat , tan a nivell operatiu com estratègic, per tal de garantir-ne la competitivitat futura. De forma més específica, la tesi que aquí es presenta, analitza tres aspectes específics de les AdM: (1) Quines característiques a de tenir el seu mercat potencial a nivell estratègic, (2) con rol prenen les terminals portuàries, enteses com la baula dèbil de la cadena de transport, a nivell de la valoració qualitativa de la cadena de transport per part del seu usuari final i (3), possibles models de negoci pel transportista / propietari de la mercaderia per treure el màxim profit de les AdM. Cada un dels tres aspectes s'adreça mitjançant eines diferenciades que s'adaptin a la problemàtica plantejada. L'anàlisi estratègic es basa en entrevistes a usuaris de cadenes de transport per establir els principals requeriments del transportista que es pugui plantejar l'ús d'una AdM. A partir dels requeriments, es defineixen diversos models de cadena de transport, arribant a la conclusió que les cadenes 'push-pull' i 'push against stock' són les candidates que més es beneficiarien d'una AdM, almenys a nivell estratègic. El rol de la terminal s'analitza qualitativament analitzant-ne dos aspectes per separat: d'una banda es crea un model basat en una combinació de valors d'origen estocàstic, determinista i via simulació, per calcular el temps d'operació mínim d'un buc de càrrega rodada a una terminal marítima i la relació que hi ha entre nivell d'ús de la terminal i la seva capacitat. D'altra banda, també s'estableix un marc per quantificar la vulnerabilitat i resiliència de la terminal davant de elements que afectin la seva normal operació i com aquests poden afectar la qualitat percebuda del servei. Finalment, pel que fa als models de negoci pels transportistes, es construeix un model de costos i temps per cada un d'ells, se n'analitza la sensibilitat i el pes de les principals variables que els afecten com a eina per calcular el model de negoci, les característiques de la línia marítima i les tarifes de base a cobrar des de la perspectiva de la naviliera. Per assolir-ho, el model es complementa amb l'adopció d'un model d'elecció modal. Preses conjuntament, es proporciona una metodologia per ajudar a avaluar el potencial de futures AdM o millorar les existents i l'efecte que hi poden tenir les actuals i futures polítiques de transport.

Abstract:
The effective operation of any transport infrastructure component is essential in maintaining and developing the growth of communities, towns and cities. In particular peak traffic times it may be hard for the transport agency to keep the network operating in an optimal state, as there may be many conflicting priorities. When an incident happens on the road network, Incident Management procedures and plans play a major role in helping the network work through the impacts of the incident to achieve pre-incident traffic conditions. There are many objectives with these incident management programs including reducing costs, delays and emissions while trying to provide benefits to the wider community. Part of the incident management plan may include the use of a diversion route where incident-induced traffic queues are directed from the incident bound motorway, around the incident site, to later re-join the motorway. The ability of this diversion route to cope with this extra traffic can be measured qualitatively and quantitatively by examining level of service and capacity criterion respectively. The rate of diversion from the motorway plays a major part in determining the optimal operating conditions for a diversion route, particularly if the diversion route has a small capacity. Unfortunately, low capacity usually plays hand in hand with low level of service and as such, the achievement of a fine working diversion route during motorway incidents is paramount. With the addition of another diversion route, the management of incident-induced traffic queues could be seen as a little easier, but this may not be totally true. The present research aims to address these difficulties which are faced by road and transport operating authorities. This is achieved primarily by the use of a traffic microsimulator (AIMSUN) which can be used to model different incident scenarios to give an indication of how to effectively use a diversion route network with the aim to restore pre-incident traffic conditions. These outcomes can then be utilised by Traffic Management Centres in their incident management procedures and be further used (with some modifications if necessary) to other areas of motorways in this local area and other parts of the state.

This thesis highlights the limitations of the existing car following models to emulate driver behaviour for safety study purposes. It also compares the capabilities of the mainstream car following models emulating driver behaviour precise parameters such as headways and Time to Collisions. The comparison evaluates the robustness of each car following model for safety metric reproductions. A new car following model, based on the personal space concept and fish school model is proposed to simulate more precise traffic metrics. This new model is capable of reflecting changes in the headway distribution after imposing the speed limit form VSL systems. This research facilitates assessing Intelligent Transportation Systems on motorways, using microscopic simulation.

Increasingly congested motorways, rising oil prices and concerns about environment and climate change require the optimization of transport systems and transport processes. The best solution should be the intermodal transport, in which the most efficient transport options are used for the different legs of transport. This thesis examines the problem of defining innovative strategies and procedures for the sustainable development of intermodal freight transport in Europe. In particular, the role of maritime transport and railway transport in the intermodal chain are examined in depth, as these modes are recognized to be environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Maritime transport is the only mode that has kept pace with the fast growth in road transport, but it is necessary to promote the full exploitation of it by involving short sea shipping as an integrated service in the intermodal door-to-door supply chain and by improving port accessibility. The role of Motorways of the Sea services as part of the Trans-European Transport Network is is taken into account: a picture of the European policy and a state of the art of the Italian Motorways of the Sea system are reported. Afterwards, the focus shifts from line to node problems: the role of intermodal railway terminals in the transport chain is discussed. In particular, the last mile process is taken into account, as it is crucial in order to exploit the full capacity of an intermodal terminal. The difference between the present last mile planning models of Bologna Interporto and Verona Quadrante Europa is described and discussed. Finally, a new approach to railway intermodal terminal planning and management is introduced, by describing the case of "Terminal Gate" at Verona Quadrante Europa. Some proposals to favour the integrate management of "Terminal Gate" and the allocation of its capacity are drawn up.

Abstract:
A roads and highways are a complex structures consisting of different geometric and structural elements. Some of those elements influence the driving comfort, speed and traffic safety whereas others contribute to motorway durability and its proper function during different seasons of a year. The development of motorway construction or reconstruction designs either relies or is about to rely on the principles of spatial design of a motorway route. The application of the said principles improves optical quality of the route and leads to a correct comprehension of the motorway concerned. Nevertheless, the global as well as the European and the Lithuanian experience witnesses the cases of the emergence of unavoidable optical deformations in the solutions of motorway route design and the reason for that could be an unavailability of clear requirements set forth in the relevant standard documents in force in regard to coordination between the horizontal alignment and the vertical alignment of motorway elements. The missing coordination between the solutions of horizontal alignment and vertical alignment of the motorway turns to be the cause for lower levels of driving comfort and traffic safety, as an adequate prevision of the current situation driving such a motorway cannot always be possible. A parameter known as Curvature Change Rate of single curve (CCRs) is applied by numerous countries to assess the quality level of horizontal alignment of the existing or design motorway route. The present article presents a variation of the vertical alignment of a motorways in Lithuania relying on Curvature Change Rate of vertical curve (CCRv) parameter.

Abstract:
Work zones represent typical bottlenecks on motorway sections. Due to aging of Slovenian motorway network, roadworks and the corresponding delays are becoming a major issue. While the majority of roadworks is planned, it is not straightforward to predict the delays they will cause even with a good prediction of the traffic volumes. The problem is to determine the work zone capacity, which is affected by several work zone characteristics, road elements and traffic structure. Besides, the stochastic nature of capacity cannot be ignored, since the same traffic values can result in different traffic conditions. This paper presents work zone capacity estimation based on the data of the recent work zones on Slovenian motorways. We collected data of various short- and long-term work zones that were recently present on Slovenian motorway network. We have studied the effect of heavy vehicles, longitudinal grade, crossovers and lane narrowing on the work zone capacity. Two statistical methods were applied to study those factors, namely regression analysis and survival analysis combined with maximum likelihood method. For each work zone type we have estimated the Weibull cumulative distribution function of capacity and queue discharge rate. The estimated capacity can provide an estimate of breakdown probabilities, delays and levels of service of motorway sections in work zones and as such it provides a useful tool in planning maintenance of the motorway network.
