An Approach to Intelligent Transport Management with Multi-agent Frameworks
Road traffic management consists on improving the traffic fluency on road networks, assigning dynamically the traffic flows, and reducing the number of traffic congestions states as well as their negative effects, i.e. blocking the emergency [...]
Modelling of Traffic Congestion with a Structural Change and Its Economic Cost: Seoul–Singal Highway, Korea
We propose a M/G/1 queueing model with a structure change according to the network state, i.e., non-congestion and congestion, to reflect each stochastic phenomena of traffic. A structural change is explained by either/both an endogenous change of [...]
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 [...]
Cumulated vehicle acceleration
To perform a reliable on-line assessment of fuel consumption in vehicles, we introduce “cumulated vehicle acceleration" as an attribute of GPS probe vehicle traces. The objective of the calculation of the attribute “cumulated vehicle [...]
Categorising car parking spaces and policies
car parking policy is a crucial instrument in managing car use. Yet nowhere does there seem to be a taxonomic framework of the full range of car parking space ‘types’ that exist, nor of the available options to policy makers. accordingly, this [...]
New York City Midtown In Motion ITS Deployment Project and Operation for NYC Active Traffic Management
The NYCDOT instituted the Midtown In Motion (MIM) project to promote multimodal mobility in the Midtown Core of Manhattan, a 110 square block area or “zone” from 2nd to 6th Avenues, 42nd to 57th Streets. The MIM Project utilizes “Active Traffic [...]
Delays at fixed-time traffic signals under time-dependent traffic conditions
Several approximative formulae have been developed in the past for the calculation of average delays at signalised intersections under time-dependent traffic conditions. However, this paper, considers the approach of Markov as apposed to Akcelik and [...]
Streamlining phase intergreen measurement for traffic signal junctions
When designing a traffic signal junction perhaps the most fundamental and important design inputs are the phase intergreens. The accuracy of intergreens are important not just for providing safe clearances between phases when moving between [...]
The challenges of using radar for pedestrian detection
The potential for using radar for all the pedestrian detection requirements of Puffin crossings has been a possibility for several years, but delivering a solution that performs reliably has proved illusive. The new versions of the Heimdall [...]
The Right Way For Wrong Signs
If you have never seen a 'wrong way' sign entering a motorway, don't read this article and don't look at the pictures. Having seen these signs once increases the chance that you might become one of the 3% of all fatal road accidents caused by 'wrong [...]
