Unlocking the ways in which uncertainty is identified and managed
Transport planners and policy makers design transport schemes with a design life of many decades. Their plans have to be robust under changing circumstances in an uncertain future bought about by the pressure of local and global economic, [...]
The assessment of fixed-time signal control in highly congested conditions
This paper, from 1986, considers that while most of the interest in Urban Traffic Control (UTC)now focuses on realtime traffic-responsive systems such as SCOOT, several cities of the developing world yet to accept fixed systems. It considers how [...]
TRAILBLAZER project seeks to improve awareness of DSPs
TRAILBLAZER – TRansport And Innovation Logistics By Local Authorities with a Zest for Efficiency and Realisation – is a three-year project which aims to cut energy use associated with urban freight activity. Transport and Travel Research (TTR) [...]
Dream or reality – it all depends on your Data!
This paper looks at different approaches to re-defining real time travel information via new transport data management solutions.
The modelling of temporary residents in South-East Dorset
This paper draws on research from the modelling of temporary residents in South-East Dorset over a period of time to measure leisure travel patterns as part of a nation-wide study [...]
Forecasting and data aggregation: theory and practice
This paper looks at the theory and practice of forecasting and data aggregation and the best transport models to apply.
Mini-roundabouts: still not getting them quite right?
In this paper the author examines some inconsistencies which he has identified in the design of mini-roundabouts (TD54) compared to other technical directives in the Design Manual for Roads & Bridges which he believes require clarification. [...]
‘Scramble’ crossings – a case study of the Oxford Circus scheme
‘Scramble crossings’ for pedestrians at signal junctions are widely used in Japan and have been reintroduced in Canada and the United States as a way of prioritising pedestrian movement by stopping all traffic movement and allowing pedestrians [...]
Right-turn priority overlap stages: a comparison of techniques
How right-turn priority overlap stages provide a means of assistance for right-turning vehicles at traffic signals and how these can be controlled using various methods of traffic management [...]
