Simulation-based Validity Analysis of Ecological User Equilibrium

Traffic is believed to organize itself by minimizing user’s travel cost (travel time is used as cost very often). Almost all the analytical and numerical work in the last 50 years has concentrated on travel cost and the assumption that costs are always an ...

An integrated fleet assignment and itinerary choice model for a new flexible aircraft

Michel Bierlaire, Matteo Salani, Bilge Atasoy

In this paper we present methodologies for improving the demand-responsiveness of air transportation systems. The main ingredients are the flexibility in transportation capacity provided by an innovative aircraft and an integrated model where supply-demand ...

Emergency Vehicle Prioritization using Vehicle-To-Vehicle Communication

Emergency vehicles need to reach their destination as fast as possible. They deserve the highest priority at intersections. Therefore, they are allowed to use bus lanes and pass red lights at traffic light systems. Nevertheless, for emergency vehicles it i ...

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 ...

A behavioral departure time choice model with latent arrival time preference and rewards for peak-hour avoidance

Michel Bierlaire

Departure time choice modeling has been part of main stream travel behavior research for more than three decades. Congestion management schemes are based on the assumption that travelers optimize their departure time choice. Ever since Vickrey, in the late ...

A hybrid travel time prediction framework for planned motorway roadworks

In this paper we propose a hybrid motorway travel time prediction framework aimed at providing pre-trip travel information in case of roadworks. The framework utilises a first order macroscopic traffic flow model to predict the consequences in travel time ...

Improving travel time estimates from inductive loop and toll collection data with dempster-shafer data fusion

Dempster-Shafer data fusion can enhance travel time estimation for motorists and traffic managers. In this paper, travel time data from inductive loop road sensors and toll collection stations are merged through Dempster-Shafer inference to generate an imp ...

Estimation of travel time on urban networks with midlink sources and sinks

André-Gilles Dumont, Edward Chung, Ashish Bhaskar

This paper presents a methodology for estimation of average travel time on signalized urban networks by integrating cumulative plots and probe data. This integration aims to reduce the relative deviations in the cumulative plots due to midlink sources and ...

Short Term Travel Time Prediction Using Floating Car Data Based On Cluster Analysis

Precise short-term prediction of traffic parameters such as flow and travel-time is a necessary component for many ITS applications. This work describes the research on a novel, fast, and robust algorithm which is based on a partitioning cluster analysis. ...

Delay times in a cellular traffic flow model for road sections with periodic outflow

A simple cellular automaton to model traffic flow is used to analyze the impact of traffic lights on travel times. The model is investigated on a stretch of road with open boundaries, where the inflow is driven stochastically, but the outflow is controlled ...
