An integrated approach to modeling vehicular movement networks
Conventional traffic models are cost intensive, and they are rarely constructed to represent the finest scale structure of the street network. On the other hand, the axial model of space syntax, an alternative approach to trip-assignment, [...]
How Shanghai met the EXPO 2010 challenge
EXPO 2010 in Shanghai presented China with a unique opportunity to showcase a trendsetting approach to harmonious, urban development. Associate Professor Zhang Ying from the Tongji University in Shanghai explains the goals that were set and how [...]
Intelligent data drives key transport decisions
A project aimed at changing the way we use and apply transport data has just been completed after the results from trial sites in London, York and Kent. FREEFLOW has given users an overall capability in complex linking of local [...]
Methods to quantify the discipline of lane based driving
The quality of traffic flow has been examined by others and some of its criteria have already been established (eg level of service), whereas the 'level' of lane-based-driving has received little attention. It is quite possible to observe, even by [...]
Application of three-phase traffic theory processing data from moving vehicles
The ASDA and FOTO models developed in the framework of Kerner’s three-phase traffic theory exhibit high quality recognition, tracking, and prediction of congested traffic patterns in space and time; for this reason, the ASDA/FOTO models have [...]
Quantifying transport emissions from various bus-based transport scenarios in Leicester: Part Two
This paper looks at a study in 1994-98 which explored the principle impact of bus developments on reducing emissions in an urban area.
No Car Lanes or Bus Lanes - which is best?
Bus priority covers a wide range of measures intended to speed up the progress of buses (and other selected groups of users, particularly the emergency services and sometimes taxis) and avoid congestion, especially in urban areas. [...]
LRUC - back on the agenda in the UK
TRL has had a long involvement in road pricing research and development, both in the UK and internationally. This has included scheme design, evaluation of both system design and technical solutions including the running of extensive on-road [...]
Road use charging - the current state of technology
This paper from 1990, examines the state of road pricing technology.
Automatic vehicle classification techniques: lane, speed and basic type classification
An assessment of developments in microprocessor and traffic sensor technology and their part in automatic vehicle classification techniques for lane, speed and basic classifications on the road network [...]
