Motorway Traffic Risks Identification Model - MyTRIM Methodology and Application

Minh Hai Pham

Road traffic crashes are becoming increasing concerns in many countries. In Europe, many efforts have been devoted to improve road traffic safety yet the important target of halving the number of yearly road deaths in 2010 could not be achieved in many Eur ...

In-situ dynamic behavior of a railway bridge girder under fatigue causing traffic loading

Eugen Brühwiler, Andrin Herwig

Stresses in bridges due to traffic loading need to be determined as accurately as possible for reliable fatigue safety verification. In particular, the dynamic traffic effect due to running vehicles has to be considered in a realistic way. In-situ measurem ...

Properties of a well-defined Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram for urban traffic

Nikolaos Geroliminis

A field experiment in Yokohama (japan) revealed that a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) linking space-mean flow, density and speed exists on a large urban area. It was observed that when the highly scattered plots of flow vs. density from individual f ...

Traffic Effects of the Emergency Lane Use

Sofia Samoili

The use of the hard shoulder/emergency lane (EL) is analysed in the current research, with case study the first experimental application of emergency lane use undertaken in Switzerland (Morges - Écublens). The EL is activated during peak hours and when con ...

Comportement du ballast sous l'action du bourrage et du trafic ferroviaire

Chiara Paderno

The geometry of the railway track is degraded under traffic load, and must be maintained periodically. This degradation is due to the arrangement of ballast particles under loads and vibrations, which results into irreversible plastic settlements. Tamping ...

The importance of being early

Nikolaos Geroliminis

This research quantifies the relationship between the cost of earliness and lateness by empirically observing commute trips from two different sources. The first empirical analysis uses individual level travel survey data from six metropolitan regions whil ...

Impact of variations in travel demand and network supply factors for evacuation studies

Traffic simulation models are frequently used to support decisions when planning an evacuation. These models typically focus on traffic dynamics and the effect of traffic control measures in order to locate possible bottlenecks and predict evacuation times ...

The spatial variability of vehicle densities as determinant of urban network capacity

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Seyyed Amin Mazloumian

Due to the complexity of the traffic flow dynamics in urban road networks, most quantitative descriptions of city traffic so far have been based on computer simulations. This contribution pursues a macroscopic (fluid-dynamic) simulation approach, which fac ...

iTETRIS: Adaptation of ITS Technologies for Large Scale Integrated Simulation

Kumar Vineet

The European Union (EU) Framework Program 7 (FP7) funded project, iTETRIS [1] (An Integrated Wireless and Traffic Platform for Real-Time Road Traffic Management Solutions) targets to extend state of art in simulation of wireless vehicular cooperative syste ...

An emissions inventory of air pollutants for the city of Bogota, Colombia

Jan Philipp Robra

More than 8.5 million people live in the urban area of Bogotá and more than 1.4 million vehicles are taking the road every day. Air pollution is becoming more and more of a problem. Today, air pollution related respiratory diseases are the main cause of de ...
