We have performed oscillatory shear experiments on a bidisperse granular mixture in combination with refractive index matched scanning in order to resolve particle motion in three-dimensions during size-segregation. We find that small particles segregate f ...
Nowadays, reassignments of hard shoulders into traffic lanes are spreading across Europe. This traffic management measure allows to respond to the growing saturation of high-capacity roads.In Switzerland, the first stretch to be equipped in such a way was ...
Recent advances in traffic flow theory at the network level, namely the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD), reveals the existence of well-defined laws of congestion dynamics at aggregated levels. The same knowledge for multimodal networks however is lim ...
This tutorial describes methodologies to model and understand the collective behavior or different types of urban systems. It highlights under what physical properties the aggregated laws will provide reasonable description of congestion for single- and mu ...
Research on congestion and propagation in large urban city networks has been mainly based on microsimulations of link-level traffic dynamics. However, both the unpredictability of travel behaviors and high complexity of accurate physical modeling remain ch ...
Part I of the thesis investigates novel urban traffic state estimation methods utilizing probe vehicle data. Chapter 2 proposes a method to integrate the collective effect of dispersed probe data with traffic kinematic wave theory and data mining technique ...
Research on congestion propagation in large urban networks has been based mainly on microsimulations of link-level traffic dynamics. However, both the unpredictability of travel behavior and the complexity of accurate physical modeling present challenges, ...
Traffic dynamics have been the focal point of research aiming to provide a better understanding of traffic phenomena and to be integrated in traffic management for recurrent congestion. The aim of the study is to ameliorate complex highway and/or freeway n ...

Abstract: Congestion at motorway junctions is a traffic phenomenon that degrades operation of infrastructure and can lead to breakdown of traffic flow and associated reduction in capacity. Advanced communication technologies open new possibilities to preve ...
