Motorway Traffic Risks Identification Model - MyTRIM Methodology and Application

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 ...

Queue Management Techniques for Metered Freeway On-Ramps

Ramp metering is beneficial for freeway throughput, but the ramp queues that are created should be prevented from extending to adjacent street junctions. A recently proposed ramp queue controller is investigated in conjunction with the local ramp-metering ...

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 ...

Fatigue load estimation for road bridges using long term WIM monitoring

Eugen Brühwiler, Mark Anthony Treacy

As bridges form the keystone of transport networks, their safe operation with minimal maintenance closures is paramount for efficient operation. Yearly increases in the volume of heavy traffic mean a higher number of fatigue damaging load cycles. The study ...

Heuristic Ramp-Metering Coordination Strategy Implemented at Monash Freeway, Australia

A new traffic-responsive feedback control strategy, heuristic ramp-metering coordination (HERO) that coordinates local ramp-metering actions in freeway networks is presented. The proposed coordination scheme is simple and reactive [i.e., based on readily a ...

A Comparison of Freeway Work Zone Capacity Prediction Models

Nan Zheng

To keep the freeway networks in a good condition, road works such as maintenance and reconstruction are carried out regularly. The resulting work zones including the related traffic management measures, give different traffic capacities of the infrastructu ...

Methodology for Developing Real-time Motorway Traffic Risk Identification Models Using Individual Vehicle Data

André-Gilles Dumont, Edward Chung, Ashish Bhaskar, Minh Hai Pham

Most of existing motorway traffic safety studies using disaggregate traffic flow data aim at developing models for identifying real-time traffic risks by comparing pre-crash and non-crash conditions. One of serious shortcomings in those studies is that non ...

Enhancing Park and Ride with access control: A case study of Southampton

Implementing and promoting more sustainable forms of urban transport are key policies of Local Authorities throughout the UK. Park and Ride (P&R) is one such system implemented widely in the UK, especially in historic towns and cities with limited road and ...

Hysteresis phenomena of a Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram in freeway networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis

Observations of traffic pairs of flow vs. density or occupancy for individual locations in freeways or arterials are usually scattered about an underlying curve. Recent observations from empirical data in arterial networks showed that in some cases by aggr ...
