Dynamic carpool in morning commute: Role of high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) and high-occupancy-toll (HOT) lanes

This study analyzes carpool in morning commute, using a bottleneck model that allocates a fraction of the bottleneck capacity to a high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) or a high-occupancy-toll (HOT) lane. Commuters are homogeneous cost minimizers who participate c ...

Comparison of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Techniques for Variable Speed Limit Control

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel, Yihang Zhang

Different types of variable speed limit (VSL) controllers have been proposed to improve the traffic mobility at highway bottlenecks. However, the benefit of VSL is sometimes deteriorated by the capacity drop phenomenon introduced by the disordered lane cha ...

Position accuracy with redundant MEMS IMU for road applications

Jan Skaloud, Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Bertrand Merminod, Philipp Clausen

Traffic problems have mainly resulted from an increase in mobility over the last decades involving an increase in traffic congestion and degradation of environmental conditions. The employment of new systems - namely, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is ...

Efficiency of a highway use reservation system for morning commute

Wei Liu

This paper examines the design and efficiency of a highway use reservation system where commuters need reservations to access a highway facility at specific times. We show that, by accommodating reservation requests to the level that the highway capacity a ...

A Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Hard Shoulder Running Systems

André-Gilles Dumont, Dimitrios Efthymiou, Sofia Samoili

The use of Hard Shoulder Running (HSR) systems is a relatively recent control policy aiming to ameliorate traffic conditions in recurrent congested networks. This ITS strategy attracts researchers and practitioners interest, in an attempt to assess its imp ...

Actions microclimatique et environnementale des ouvrages d'art routier [Microclimatic and environmental actions of road structures]

Eugen Brühwiler, André-Gilles Dumont, David Conciatori

Les différentes zones d’un ouvrage d’art routier sont étudiées en fonction de leur degré d’exposition au microclimat environnant. Les conditions climatiques provenant de stations météorologiques et la cinétique des véhicules permettent de définir des zones ...

Microclimatic and environmental actions of road structures

André-Gilles Dumont, David Conciatori

Various areas of a highway structure are studied regarding their level of exposure to the surrounding microclimate. Climate conditions from meteorological stations and vehicle kinetics are used to determine zones that are exposed to salt products and clima ...

Сокращение разрыва между государствами «старой» Европы (ЕС-15) и странами Центральной и Восточной Европы (СЦВЕ) по уровню состояния дорожных конструкций (Reducing the gap in the level of highway structures between EU-15 and CEEC)

Emmanuel Denarié

Since 1 May 2004, the European Union road network, and accordingly the stock of highway structures, has increased significantly. Ten new Member States have brought nearly 924 500 kilometres of roads into the European network. These countries have huge numb ...
