Microscopic simulation of overtaking in opposing traffic
In this paper, a microscopic simulation model for overtaking in opposing traffic and its application is presented. Core elements of the model are sub models to determine the desire to overtake, the decision to initiate the overtaking process and the [...]
Analyising mobility benefits of variable speed limits for Auckland motorways
Variable speed limits (VSL) is an emerging ITS tool, which can help to improve safety and efficiency of motorway systems through a better harmonization of traffic flow. It can reduce variation in speed of vehicles travelling along the controlled [...]
Theory to practice: global sensitivity analysis of the Aimsun meso model
This paper examines a metamodel-based technique for model sensitivity analysis and applies it to the Aimsun mesoscopic model. The paper argues that sensitivity analysis is crucial for the best use of the traffic simulation models while also [...]
Modelling variable demand using microsimulation
Microsimulation is increasingly being applied to larger networks to model major transport interventions and to provide forecasts for scheme appraisal. This has highlighted a need for a variable demand modelling (VDM) capability for use [...]
Complex MOVA linking In microsimulation models
MOVA linking is a means by which MOVA junctions in close proximity can be coordinated to ensure progression is maintained on main arterial routes. Knowing the best strategy to implement when designing a linked MOVA junction can be extremely [...]
Automating the collection of turning count data at signalised intersections in Southampton
MOVA linking is a means by which MOVA junctions in close proximity can be coordinated to ensure progression is maintained on main arterial routes. Knowing the best strategy to implement when designing a linked MOVA junction can be extremely [...]
A microsimulation approach to modelling bus priority
Bus priority measures are commonplace in our towns and cities. Whilst these can provide significant benefits to buses when designed correctly, design flaws often mean that they are controversial due to their ineffectiveness for public transport [...]
Microsimulation of mass transit operations in Africa
With extraordinary levels of demand for public transport in its cities, Africa is an exciting place to develop new transit systems. Catering for such demand brings its own challenges, particularly at an operational level in providing the [...]
The adaptibility of microsimulation models to chaotic traffic environments
In this paper, the capability of microsimulation models for representing real-world traffic conditions, encountered in ‘chaotic traffic environments’ of developing countries, is analysed. For this exercise, two suites are used: VISSIM [...]
Fundamentals of Discrete Choice Part 2- the Nested Logit Model.
Peter Davidson, Collins Teye-Ali and Adam Thomas present part two of a paper which looks at the new nested Logit modelling system
