Using probe vehicle data to generate jam warning messages

This paper focuses on what a driver experiences while driving in congested traffic flow and how this driving can improve traffic safety. A method for the reconstruction of spatiotemporal traffic dynamics from probe vehicle data is suggested and [...]
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 [...]
Optimum Principle For Calculating The Minimum Probability Of Congestion

This paper discusses an optimum principle for traffic and transportation networks with road bottlenecks introduced by the author recently [B.S. Kerner, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44, 092001 (2011)]. This network breakdown minimisation [...]
Enhancing traffic efficiency and safety through the use of wireless vehicle communication

A simulation approach based on three-phase traffic theory.
Methods for tracing and forecasting congested traffic patterns
Online automatic tracing and forecasting of traffic patterns
Tracking of congested traffic patterns on freeways in California.

Based on traffic data measured on American freeways in California with 30 sec detector measurements of flow rates and occupancy, recognition and tracking of spatiotemporal congested traffic patterns at freeway bottlenecks are performed through [...]
On-ramp metering based on three-phase traffic theory

The probabilistic nature of traffic breakdown and freeway capacity at an on-ramp bottleneck is discussed based on the author’s three-phase traffic flow theory. It is stressed that the probabilistic nature of traffic breakdown leads to a [...]
On-ramp metering based on three-phase traffic theory - Part 2

In part II of this article, simulation results of the well-known ALINEA method of Papageorgiou et al. for feedback on-ramp metering are discussed. It is found that the main aim of ALINEA on-ramp metering strategies – maintenance of occupancy [...]
On-ramp metering based on three-phase traffic theory - Part III

In this part III of the article, a congested pattern control approach (ANCONA) introduced by the author in 2004 is discussed. The ANCONA approach, which is based on the author’s threephase traffic theory, should address the drawbacks of other [...]
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 [...]
