Abstract:

A dynamic travel-time prediction model was developed for the South Jersey (southern New Jersey) motorist real-time information system. During development and evaluation of the model, the integration of traffic flow theory, measurement and application of collected data, and traffic simulation were considered. Reliable prediction results can be generated with limited historical real-time traffic data. In the study, acoustic sensors were installed at potential congested places to monitor traffic congestion. A developed simulation model was calibrated with the data collected from the sensors, and

Abstract:

METROPOLIS proposes an interactive environment that simulates automobile traffic in large urban areas. The core of the system is a dynamic simulator that integrates commuters’ departure time and route choice behaviors over large networks: Drivers are assumed to minimize a generalized travel cost function that depends on travel time and schedule delay. This simulator is based on a behavioral driver information process. It allows real-time and off-line simulations. The system also includes a scenario builder and a graphical results viewer. The main ideas underlying METROPOLIS are presented, and

Abstract:

Shared autonomous taxi systems (SATS) are being regarded as a promising means of improving travel flexibility. Each shared autonomous taxi (SAT) requires very precise traffic information to independently and accurately select its route. In this study, taxis were replaced with ride-sharing autonomous vehicles, and the potential benefits of utilizing collected travel-time information for path finding in the new taxi system examined. Specifically, four categories of available SATs for every taxi request were considered: currently empty, expected-empty, currently sharable, and expected-sharable. T

Abstract:

Travel time is a simple and robust network performance measure that is well understood by the public. However, travel time data collection can be costly especially if the analysis area is large. This research proposes a solution to the problem of limited network sensor coverage caused by insufficient sample size of probe vehicles or inadequate numbers of fixed sensors. Within a homogeneous road network, nearby links of similar character are exposed to comparable traffic conditions, and therefore, their travel times are likely to be positively correlated. This correlation can be useful in devel

Using probe vehicles to collect real-time traffic information is considered an efficient method in real-world applications. How to determine the minimum number of probe vehicles required for accurate estimate of link travel time is a question of increasing interest.

A heuristic of determining the minimum number of probe vehicles required is developed to accommodate this situation. In addition, the impact of traffic volume on the require

CORSIM’s “virtual detectors” provide the necessary data for SCOOT optimization in real time.

Abstract:

Mobility-on-demand (MoD) services are provided by multiple competing companies. In their competition for travelers, they need to provide minimum travel costs, or travelers will switch to competitors. This study developed a dynamic traffic assignment of MoD systems. A static traffic assignment (STA) model is first defined. When demand is asymmetric, empty rebalancing trips are required to move vehicles to traveler origins, and the optimal rebalancing flows are found by a linear program. Because of the time-dependent nature of traveler demand, the model was converted to dynamic traffic assignmen

Abstract:

To increase traffic mobility and safety, several types of active traffic management (ATM) strategies, such as variable speed limit (VSL), ramp metering, dynamic message signs, and hard shoulder running (HSR), are adopted in many countries. While all kinds of ATM strategies show promise in releasing traffic congestion, many studies indicate that stand-alone strategies have very limited capability. To remedy the defects of stand-alone strategies, cooperative ATM strategies have caught researchers’ attention and different combinations have been studied. In this paper, a coordinated VSL and HSR co

Traffic congestion has become a severe problem, af-fecting travellers both mentally and economically. To al-leviate traffic congestion, this paper proposes a method using a concept of future time windows to estimate the future state of the road network for navigation. Through our method, we can estimate the travel time not only based on the current traffic state, but the state that ve-hicles will arrive in the future. To test our method, we conduct experiments based on Simulation of Urban MO-bility (SUMO). The experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly reduce the over

This paper presents a real-time simulation-based control framework to determine dynamic toll rates to optimize an operator's objective subject to various operational and contractual constraints, such as smooth toll rate changes and maintenance of prescribed levels of service on the toll lane. The toll-setting system incorporates models to predict both the vehicle arrival process upstream of the toll lane facility and drivers’ choice whether to use the toll lanes as a function of the toll rate and travel times presented to drivers within the information system.

Abstract:

Industrialization, urban development, and population growth in the last decades caused a significant increase in congestion of transportation networks across the world. Increasing congestion of transportation networks and limitations of the traditional methods in analyzing and evaluating the congestion mitigation strategies led many transportation professionals to the use of traffic simulation techniques. Nowadays, traffic simulation is heavily used in a variety of applications, including the design of transportation facilities, traffic flow management, and intelligent transportation systems.

Abstract: Traffic congestion is the most outstanding performance of the negative externalities of urban road traffic, which is characterized by the negative effects of time delay, energy waste, air pollution and many other impacts. It affects people’s daily life and could cause stress other than time and monetary loss. Traffic congestion causes negative impacts to transport sector and cause a massive increase in the transportation cost.

Abstract:

To relieve freeway congestion during peak periods, ramp metering (RM) is often implemented to control the input flow from onramps on freeways. Many studies focus on proactive coordinated RM controls; however, successful implementation of proactive RM control still requires a more accurate prediction model and a less complex control algorithm. To this end, this study tests a proactive RM approach in micro-simulation, with goals to improve network-wide travel time and traffic flow. A METANET-based dynamic traffic model was adopted as a prediction model within a predictive control framework. The

Abstract:

Although time constraints on travel behavior have been widely recognized, little effort has been made to incorporate such constraints into the traditional stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) framework. The major objective of this research is to fill this gap by incorporating travel time constraints into the SUE model by means of a nonlinear perceived travel time function. This modified model, designated the travel time budget model, focuses primarily on discretionary travel behavior (such as shopping trips) and hence also allows the possibility of deferring travel decisions by incorporating an a

A Bayesian regression approach is used to develop equations for predicting travel time on central area streets with contributory variables that are intuitive and for which data are readily available in most transportation agencies.

Abstract:

Vehicles entering from on-ramps can increase the speed dispersion of the mainline and induce frequent changing lanes or acceleration and deceleration behaviors. These complex traffic behaviors interfere with traffic on the mainline and thus result in congestion and safety issues. Reasonable management and control of ramps, especially on-ramps, has been proven to be an effective solution for traffic congestion caused by ramp traffic flow. Understanding the influence of traffic flow of on-ramps on the average speed of the freeway mainline is useful for creating effective ramp management strategi

The TRANSYT simulation/optimization model serves as an unofficial international standard against which many measure the efficiency of other methods of coordinating networks of traffic signals that operate at a constant and common cycle length. However, dynamics due to traffic rerouting, the simultaneous operation of adjacent traffic signals at different cycle lengths, the effect of queue spillbacks on the capacity of upstream links, and various forms of real-time intersection control cannot be modeled using a static model such as TRANSYT. This has created a unique niche for a more dynamic sign
