Abstract:
A traffic congestion index was developed using data for California highways from 1976 through 1994. The technique yields a congestion measure that has several advantages. The index developed here can be applied to counties, urbanized areas, highway segments, or other portions of geographic areas or highway networks. The index allows cross-sectional and time-series comparisons that have only rarely been possible. What is most important is that the congestion index developed here is based on data that are readily available. The index is compared to others, based on Highway Performance Monitoring System data, and similarities and differences are illustrated. Important issues for future research and data collection efforts that can contribute to more refined congestion measurement are also discussed.

Abstract:
This paper describes the techniques used in the planning and design of a system of passing lanes for the Trans-Canada Highway in Yoho National Park. The techniques, which include a traffic simulation model, were developed to allow the evaluation of the impact of low-cost operational improvements such as passing lanes on the level of service. The traffic simulation model allowed the investigation of a wide range of highway alternatives in addition to changes in traffic flow, traffic stream characteristics, and vehicle performance characteristics. The passing lane designs described in the paper are based on the concept of incorporating passing lanes within the existing highway cross section. The design concept has evolved from the experimental passing lane project in Banff. In addition to geometric design, signing, and road marking guidelines, warrants for bicycle lanes on the Trans-Canada Highway are also presented. Key words: highway planning and engineering, two-lane highways, traffic simulation model, level of service, passing lanes, Trans-Canada Highway.

Abstract:
Improving two-lane highway traffic safety conditions is of practical importance to the traffic system, which has attracted significant research attention within the last decade. Many cost-effective and proactive solutions such as low-cost treatments and roadway safety monitoring programs have been developed to enhance traffic safety performance under prevailing conditions. This study presents research perspectives achieved from the Highway Safety Enhancement Project (HSEP) that assessed safety performance on two-lane highways in Beijing, China. Potential causal factors are identified based on proposed evaluation criteria, and primary countermeasures are developed against inferior driving conditions such as sharp curves, heavy gradients, continuous downgrades, poor sight distance, and poor clear zones. Six cost-effective engineering solutions were specifically implemented to improve two-lane highway safety conditions, including (1) traffic sign replacement, (2) repainting pavement markings, (3) roadside barrier installation, (4) intersection channelization, (5) drainage optimization, and (6) sight distance improvement. The effectiveness of these solutions was examined and evaluated based on Empirical Bayes (EB) models. The results indicate that the proposed engineering solutions effectively improved traffic safety performance by significantly reducing crash occurrence risks and crash severities.

Abstract:
Special connector ramps linking the automated lanes at automated highway–to–automated highway interchanges may be needed to enable continuous automated driving between two crossing highways. Although a typical cloverleaf configuration has only two levels and is more amenable for such additions, the sharp curvature of this design usually imposes constraints on traffic speed and flow. Because of these constraints, most highway–to–highway interchanges in urban areas have straighter lanes but tend to involve three or more levels. Building the additional connector ramps to accommodate eight high-speed turning movements at an area where the geometry is already complex could be difficult or costly. Therefore, proponents of automated highway systems (AHS) face a major dilemma. This dilemma is studied, including the impact of not providing automated connector ramps on the manual and AHS traffic on manual lanes at or near a highway-to-highway interchange. It is shown that, with a typical cloverleaf design, in the absence of the additional connector ramps, any moderate to heavy AHS-changing traffic could severely disturb the flow of through traffic, seriously exacerbate congestion, and possibly cause a traffic breakdown at the interchange area. These effects will most likely negate any mainline throughput benefits for which an AHS is designed.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents a novel methodology for determining the overall highway safety level by integrating statistical analysis and analytic network process (ANP) with set pair analysis (SPA) which is applied in the evaluation of the overall highway safety for the first time. The methodology accounts for both quantitative and qualitative factors that contribute to traffic safety. The statistical analysis uses crash, alignment, intersection, and other data to determine the significant indices (variables) that affect safety. These indices are then combined with the planning (qualitative) indices to determine the weights of all indices based on expert opinions using ANP. Finally, the overall safety level of the highway is determined using SPA. The methodology is illustrated using data collected from two highways in China. The results demonstrate that the proposed methodology is sound and reliable. The methodology is applicable to existing or new highways and can help to effectively evaluate the overall safety of a highway and develop long-term strategies for safety improvements.

Abstract:
As an important part of earthquake disaster relief, highway traffic system is the passage for rescue staffs, material transport and evacuation. Hence, people are concerned about destruction condition and safety of highways after earthquakes. However, there are neither systematically scientific methods to classify highway subgrade seismic damage, nor systematic study on its rapid evaluation methods. Therefore, the Paper studies post-seismic highway subgrade damage grade and rapid evaluation methods, to be as a significant reference for improving post-seismic emergency rescue and relief efficiency, as well as for recovering and reconstructing highway traffic system.

Abstract:
Highway navigation is often affected by complex topography, and the flat curve plays an important role in the horizontal alignment design of a highway. Many curves are formed, where visibility could be decreased. Thus, the indicative function of a traffic sign plays a crucial role in ensuring driving safety at the curve. Due to the blocked visibility, the probability of the traffic sign occlusion at the curve of operating highways is quite high. It is urgent to consider the clearing obstructions around traffic signs at curves during highway construction. In this study, the potential of visual occlusion for traffic signs on curved highways was investigated. Firstly, the driver’s visibility window that contains traffic signs was defined and criteria of visual occlusion were proposed. Secondly, a geometric occlusion design formula was established to mimic the visual recognition process of traffic signs on a curved highway, yielding the formula to calculate the visibility window. Finally, the occlusion design formula was applied into a case study of the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway (Hunan section), in which visibility windows were calculated and analyzed. The obtained results verified the correctness and effectiveness of the occlusion design formula developed in this study.

Abstract:
This study used three-tier architecture to analyze the relationship between the highway traffic development difference and the economic development difference in China from 1997 to 2015. Their time distribution and trends of national and regional differences were quantified via both coefficient of variation and Theil index. Furthermore, the highway traffic connectivity was analyzed for each province. The obtained results showed that the difference of highway traffic development was significantly related to the difference of economic development, and poor connectivity of highway traffic was also strongly related to economic disparity. The investment difference of China’s highway infrastructure could be divided into an unstable stage (1997–2010), and a stable stage (2011–2015). The highway traffic development difference could also be divided into two stages (1997–2006 and 2007–2015). Following the construction of central and western regions in around 2006, this difference decreased significantly; however, large differences within region remained. Provinces in the central and western regions have low connectivity and several remote main cities are not connected via high-grade highways. China’s national economic difference has been constantly decreasing; however, the three regions follow different trends. Furthermore, with the development of the central and western regions, between-region economic differences decreased rapidly. To improve the level of regional equalization for highway development, the government should reduce differences between developed and undeveloped provinces for each region and connect remote cities, thus ultimately reducing differences in economic development and promoting a balanced regional development.

Abstract:
A low cost passive mass-rubber damper is introduced in this work to mitigate damage of highway signs caused by ground motion and wind gusting. The damper is designed and constructed to alleviate stresses due to bending, shear, and fatigue loading. Lab experiments based on sign responses and strains were conducted in order to evaluate the damper effectiveness in extending the life of the sign structure. Experimental Modal Analysis was performed to deduce the modal parameters of the structure using Easy Analyst and ME'scope commercial software. Ground motion was simulated using a shaker table and lighten earthquake signals. The wind gusting is simulated by simply pulling the tip of the sign and then releasing it. The results have shown that the proposed damper was able to minimize the horizontal relative ground motion between the base of the structure and the ground, which is an indication of smaller shear forces. Strain results have shown that the proposed damper was able to lower the maximum strain by up 73 percent. Finally, the damper was very effective in filtering the high frequency components of the signals entering the system, minimizing by that failure due to high cycle fatigue.

Abstract:
Traffic congestion is increasing in almost all large cities, leading to a number of negative effects such as pollution and delays. However, building new roads is not a feasible solution. Instead, the use of the existing road network has to be optimized, together with a shift towards more sustainable transport modes. In order to achieve this there are several challenges that needs to be addressed. One challenge is the ability to provide accurate information about the current and future traffic state. This information is an essential input to the traffic management center and can be used to influence the choices made by the travelers. Accurate information about the traffic state on highways, where the potential to manage and control the traffic in general is very high, would be of great significance for the traffic managers. It would help the traffic managers to take action before the system reaches congestion and limit the effects of it. At the same time, the collection of traffic data is slowly shifting from fixed sensors to more probe based data collection. This requires an adaptation and further development of the traditional traffic models in order for them to handle and take advantage of the characteristics of all types of data, not just data from the traditionally used fixed sensors. The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development and implementation of a model for estimation and prediction of the current and future traffic state and to facilitate an adaptation of the model to the conditions of the highway in Stockholm. The model used is a version of the Cell Transmission Model (CTM-v) where the velocity is used as the state variable. Thus, together with an Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) it can be used to fuse different types of point speed measurements. The model is developed to run in real-time for a large network. Furthermore, a two-stage process used to calibrate the model is implemented. The results from the calibration and validation show that once the model is calibrated, the estimated travel times corresponds well with the ground truth travel times collected from Bluetooth sensors. In order to produce accurate short-term predictions for various networks and conditions it is vital to combine different methods. We have implemented and evaluated a hybrid prediction approach that assimilates parametric and non-parametric short-term traffic state prediction. To predict mainline sensor data we use a neural network, while the CTM-v is ran forward in time in order to predict future traffic states. The results show that both the hybrid approach and the CTM-v prediction without the additional predicted mainline sensor data is superior to a naïve prediction method for longer prediction horizons.

A model-based approach to dynamic toll pricing has been developed to provide a systematic method for determining optimal freeway pricing schemes. A novel approach is suggested for alleviating traffic congestion, which utilizes identified models of driver behavior and traffic flow, as well as optimization of the target density to maximize throughput. Real-time traffic information from on-road sensors is integrated with historical information to provide feedback and preview for the dynamic toll price controller. The algorithm developed here provides an opportunity to improve on existing toll policy by guaranteeing minimum speeds for toll lane drivers, maintaining consistent traffic flow for the other drivers, and optimizing the overall traffic throughput.

Abstract:
In roadway projects, design exceptions are implemented when the project site consists of one or more substandard design elements. The objective of this thesis is to conduct an initial investigation for a monitoring program for the safety performance of design exceptions in Georgia. A total of 467 projects containing design exceptions were reported in Georgia from 1995 to 2011, and from this crash data for 179 projects from 2003 to 2008 were sampled. The crash data collected in this research pertains to all roadway segments within the projects and is not necessarily related to the design exceptions. Future efforts will be required to explore potential connections between the crash rates and design exceptions. The annual crash results generally revealed a high variability and randomness in the data. For this reason, the average 3-year crash frequencies before design exception approval date and after it were calculated to determine the safety performance for projects containing design exceptions. A method for determining expected results using the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) predictive method is also discussed. The findings will be used to guide future research on design exceptions and mitigation measures to improve roadway safety.

Abstract:
This research looks into the impact of adverse winter weather conditions on highway driver behaviors using microscopic data from loop detectors and video cameras (e.g., hourly average speed, trajectories, lane changes, time-to-collisions measures). This thesis is composed of two main sections in addition to the introductory section: i) direct and lagged effects of adverse weather on hourly speeds and volumes; and ii) direct effect of adverse weather on driver behaviors (microscopic) measured at the vehicle level using video data. The first part of the thesis presents a review of literature related to past research on the topic. The second part investigates the direct and lagged effects of adverse winter weather conditions on the operating speed in a number of highway segments in Ontario using a time-series approach. This is complemented by the analysis of hourly traffic volumes in the region of Montreal, Canada, using data from magnetic loop detectors as well. In speed modeling, the effect of adverse weather was studied using data from multiple sites including both urban and rural highways, considering weekdays versus weekends separately. For this purpose, a large dataset containing hourly traffic data, weather variables (e.g., temperature, snow, wind speed), and surface conditions was used. A few previous studies have examined the effect of snowstorms on traffic parameters; however, little research has been done regarding the spillover effects (lagged effects) that adverse weather conditions may have on travel demand and traffic patterns. Extreme events or weather conditions might have a strong effect on traffic conditions not only during the events, but also before and after the events. In this study, time-series regression techniques―in particular, Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models―were used to model the highway operating speed. These methods are able to consider the serial correlation among error terms. The results indicate that snowstorms have a statistically significant effect on the speed. The lagged effects are however offset by the time and intensity of winter maintenance operations during and after the event. The effect of weather also varies depending on the type of site (urban or rural) and day of the week. Similarly, the effects of different weather variables including their lagged effects were analyzed using hourly traffic volume data. Despite the fact that information of the road surface condition was not available, this analysis is in accordance with previous finding, showing the utility of ARIMA approaches in modeling the highway volume as well. The results of this study can be applied in quantifying the mobility effect of winter weather and benefits of winter road maintenance. In recent years, driver behavior analysis using microscopic (vehicle level) data is a topic that is attracting more attention in road safety analysis. This popularity has brought about research in many different innovative techniques and microscopic measures used to quantify and analyze driver behavior. In the second part of this thesis, it demonstrates a method of analyzing driver behavior using video data approach. This thesis elucidates both a manual and an automated, computer-based method to analyze driver behavior. It also uses the computer-based method to evaluate the effect of adverse winter weather conditions on the driver behavior of highway users. Both the manual and the automated approaches have been used with 15 video recordings obtained from three different locations on the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) in Toronto, Ontario. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the automated method in analyzing driver behavior, as well as in evaluating the impact of adverse winter weather conditions on driver behavior.
La thèse présente l'impact des conditions météorologiques hivernales défavorables sur les comportements des conducteurs de la route à l'aide de données microscopiques de détecteurs de mouvement et des caméras vidéo (e.g., la vitesse horaire moyenne, les trajectoires, les changements de voie, des mesures de temps à la collision) La thèse est composée de deux sections principaux, en plus de l'introduction: i) les effets directs et décalés des conditions météorologiques défavorables sur la vitesse et le volume horaire; et ii) l'effet direct des conditions météorologiques défavorables sur le comportement microscopique des conducteurs mesurées au niveau du véhicule à l'aide de données vidéo.La première partie de la thèse propose une revue de la littérature sur le sujet. La deuxième partie examine les effets directs et décalés des conditions météorologiques hivernales défavorables sur la vitesse opérationnelle dans un certain nombre de segments de la route en Ontario en utilisant une approche de séries chronologiques. Ceci est complété par l'analyse des volumes de trafic horaires dans la région de Montréal, au Canada, en utilisant également les données de détecteurs de boucles magnétiques. Pour modéliser la vitesse, l'effet des conditions météorologiques défavorables a été étudié en utilisant des données provenant de plusieurs sites, dont deux autoroutes urbaines et rurales. Les jours de semaine et les week-ends ont été considérés séparément. Certaines études antérieures ont examiné l'effet de tempêtes de neige sur les paramètres de trafic, mais peu a été fait en ce qui concerne les effets d'entraînement (effets différés) que les conditions météorologiques défavorables peuvent avoir sur la demande de voyage et sur les modèles de trafic. Dans cette étude, les techniques de régression chronologique - en particulier les modèles autorégressives moyennes mobiles intégré (ARIMA) - ont été utilisées pour modéliser la vitesse opérationnelle de l'autoroute. A partir des résultats, on peut déduire que les tempêtes de neige ont un effet statistiquement significatif sur la vitesse. Les effets décalés sont toutefois compensés par la durée et l'intensité des opérations d'entretien hivernal pendant et après l'événement. L'effet de la météo varie aussi en fonction du type de site (urbain ou rural) et le jour de la semaine. Les résultats de cette étude peuvent être appliqués pour quantifier l'effet de la mobilité des conditions météorologiques et les avantages de l'entretien des routes en hiver. De même, les effets des différentes variables météorologiques, y compris leurs effets décalés ont été analysés à l'aide des données de volume de trafic. Malgré que l'information de l'état de surface de la route n'était pas disponible, cette analyse est conforme aux financements antérieurs, montrant également l'utilité des approches ARIMA sur le volume de la route. Au cours des dernières années, le comportement du conducteur en utilisant des données microscopique (niveau du véhicule) est un sujet qui attire plus d'attention à l'analyse de la sécurité routière. Cette popularité a entraîné des recherches sur de nombreux techniques novatrices et le développement de mesures microscopiques utilisées pour quantifier et analyser le comportement du conducteur. Dans la deuxième partie de cette thèse, une méthode est démontrée pour analyser le comportement du conducteur en utilisant l'approche de données vidéo. Cette thèse présente à la fois une démarche manuel et une méthode informatique automatisée pour analyser le comportement du conducteur. Les méthodes manuel et automatique sont utilisées sur 15 enregistrements vidéo obtenus à trois endroits différents sur le Don Valley Parkway (DVP) à Toronto, en Ontario. Les résultats démontrent l'efficacité de la méthode automatisée pour analyser le comportement du conducteur, ainsi que dans l'évaluation de l'impact des conditions météorologiques hivernales défavorables sur le comportement des conducteurs.

Abstract:
Proper traffic control is critical in highway work zone safety. Traffic control devices such as signs, barricades, cones, and plastic safety barrels are often used. Accidents can occur because of improper work zone design, improper work zone housekeeping, and driver negligence. One solution is to automate safety devices. This paper presents a mobile safety barrel robot. The Robotic Safety Barrels are the first elements of a team of Robotic Safety Markers (RSM) that includes signs, cones, and possibly barricades and arrestors. To be practical the system must be reliable and have a low per robot cost. A robot that malfunctions could enter traffic and create a significant hazard. Also, multiple safety markers are used and barrels are often struck by vehicles. Safety markers with a high replacement cost are not practical. This paper describes the motivation for the robotic safety marker system and how it could improve work zone safety. The design of three robot prototypes is presented. A control architecture is discussed that has been implemented in simulation and partially tested on the prototype robots.

Abstract:
A Highway Prediction Model (HPM) using the ray acoustics modeling approach is developed in this research. The HPM model can be used to quantitatively predict the environmental noise levels on highways of different pavements. Comparison between the measured noise levels using the SPB method and predicted noise levels with the model developed shows that the prediction model established is reliable for estimating highway noise in Canada.

Adsit, Sarah E., Theodora Konstantinou, Konstantina Gkritza, and Jon D. Fricker. Public Acceptance of INDOT’s Traffic Engineering Treatments and Services. Purdue University, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284317280.

Full text
Abstract:
As a public agency, interacting with and understanding the public’s perspective regarding agency activities is an important endeavor for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). Although INDOT conducts a biennial customer satisfaction survey, it is occasionally necessary to capture public perception regarding more specific aspects of INDOT’s activities. In particular, INDOT needs an effective way to measure and track public opinions and awareness or understanding of a select set of its traffic engineering practices. To evaluate public acceptance of specific INDOT traffic engineering activities, a survey consisting of 1.000 adults residing within the State of Indiana was conducted. The survey population was representative in terms of age and gender of the state as of the 2010 U.S. Census. The survey was administered during the months of July and August 2020. Public awareness regarding emerging treatments not currently implemented in Indiana is low and opposition to the same new technologies is prominent. Older or female drivers are less likely to be aware of emerging treatments, and older drivers are more likely to oppose potential implementation of these treatments. Although roundabouts are commonplace in Indiana, multi-lane roundabouts remain controversial among the public. Regarding maintenance and protection of traffic during work zones and considering full or partial roadway closure, public preference is for partial closure; this preference is stronger in rural areas. The public equally agrees and disagrees that INDOT minimizes construction related traffic delays. Approximately 76% of Indiana drivers believe themselves to above average drivers, while an additional 23% believe themselves to be average. Driver perceptions of average highway speeds speed are not aligned with posted speed limit as the perceived average speed on Indiana’s urban freeways and rural and urban state highways is considerably higher than the actual speed limit.

Full text
Abstract:
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) uses about 600 digital cameras along populated Indiana highways in order to monitor highway traffic conditions. The videos from these cameras are currently observed by human operators looking for traffic conditions and incidents. However, it is time-consuming for the operators to scan through all video data from all the cameras in real-time. The main objective of this research was to develop an automatic and real-time system and implement the system at INDOT to monitor traffic conditions and detect incidents automatically. The Transportation and Autonomous Systems Institute (TASI) of the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and the INDOT Traffic Management Center have worked together to research and develop a system that monitors the traffic conditions based on the INDOT CCTV video feeds. The proposed system performs traffic flow estimation, incident detection, and the classification of vehicles involved in an incident. The goal was to develop a system and prepare for future implementation. The research team designed the new system, in­cluding the hardware and software components, the currently existing INDOT CCTV system, the database structure for traffic data extracted from the videos, and a user-friendly web-based server for identifying individual lanes on the highway and showing vehicle flowrates of each lane automatically. The preliminary prototype of some system components was implemented in the 2018–2019 JTRP projects, which provided the feasibility and structure of the automatic traffic status extraction from the video feeds. The 2019–2021 JTRP project focused on developing and improving many features’ functionality and computation speed to make the program run in real-time. The specific work in this 2021–2022 JTRP project is to improve the system further and implement it on INDOT’s premises. The system has the following features: vehicle-detection, road boundary detection, lane detection, vehicle count and flowrate detection, traffic condition detection, database development, web-based graphical user interface (GUI), and a hardware specification study. The research team has installed the system on one computer in INDOT for daily road traffic monitoring operations.

Carruth, William D. Evaluation of In-Place Asphalt Recycling for Airfield Applications. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), July 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/41142.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the last few decades, in-place recycling of asphalt pavements has seen increased use by the highway industry, primarily to take a dvantage of potential cost and logistical savings compared to conventional reconstruction. More recently, the U.S. Navy and Federal Aviation Administration have allowed recycling to be used on airfields with lighter traffic. This report contains a discussion of in-place recycling design considerations obtained from a literature review of its use in the highway industry. Observations developed from a review of airfield pavement projects that have utilized recycling is also included. A structural analysis was performed using the Pavement-Transportation Computer Assisted Structural Engineering (PCASE) tool to determine typical stiffness values that recycled layers must achieve to support various types of military aircraft traffic for different pavement structures. Overall, in-place recycling is recommended for consideration as a rehabilitati on technique for military airfield pavements, and further investigation is recommended before it is implemented it into design guidance.

Abstract:
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has approximately 500 digital cameras along highways in populated areas of Indiana. These cameras are used to monitor traffic conditions around the clock, all year round. Currently, the videos from these cameras are observed one-by-one by human operators looking for traffic conditions and incidents. The main objective of this research was to develop an automatic, real-time system to monitor traffic conditions and detect incidents automatically. The Transportation and Autonomous Systems Institute (TASI) of the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and the Traffic Management Center of INDOT developed a system that monitors the traffic conditions based on the INDOT CCTV video feeds. The proposed system performs traffic flow estimation, incident detection, and classification of vehicles involved in an incident. The research team designed the system, including the hardware and software components added to the existing INDOT CCTV system; the relationship between the added system and the currently existing INDOT system; the database structure for traffic data extracted from the videos; and a user-friendly, web-based server for showing the incident locations automatically. The specific work in this project includes vehicle-detection, road boundary detection, lane detection, vehicle count over time, flow-rate detection, traffic condition detection, database development, web-based graphical user interface (GUI), and a hardware specification study. The preliminary prototype of some system components has been implemented in the Development of Automated Incident Detection System Using Existing ATMS CCT (SPR-4305).
