Quantification of platinum deposition in polymer electrolyte fuel cell membranes
Platinum catalyst dissolution with subsequent reduction and deposition of Pt particles in the membrane can lead to a significant loss of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) performance. To quantify the amount of deposited platinum, a novel transmission el ...
2011Emergency 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 ...
2011An Empirical Analysis on the Arterial Fundamental Diagram
For uninterrupted traffic flow, it is well-known that the fundamental diagram (FD) describes the relationship between traffic flow and density under steady state. For interrupted traffic flow on a signalized road, it has been recognized that the arterial f ...
Elsevier2011Santiago de Chile and the Transantiago: How much technological progress is bearable?
The paper intends to identify the requirements of technological progress in public transportation and resultant impacts on people’s daily life and social inequalities, with a specific regard to the case of Santiago de Chile. There public transport policy h ...
2010Comportement du ballast sous l'action du bourrage et du trafic ferroviaire
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 ...
EPFL2010Toll Plaza Merging Traffic Control for Throughput Maximization
A simple real-time merging traffic control concept is proposed for efficient toll plaza management in cases where the total flow exiting from the toll booths exceeds the capacity of the downstream highway (or bridge, or tunnel), leading to congestion and r ...
2010Accounting for traffic dynamics improves noise assessment: Experimental evidence
This paper compares three traffic representations for urban traffic noise assessment: (i) a coarse static calculation based on mean speeds and flow rates, (ii) a refined static calculation based on mean kinematics patterns, (iii) a whole dynamic noise esti ...
Elsevier2009Microscopic Dual-Regime Model for Single-Lane Roundabouts
Most of microsimulation tools used to model roundabouts encompass classical gap-acceptance algorithms to represent the insertion of approaching vehicles into the circulatory roadway. However, these algorithms fail to reproduce the mean priority sharing pro ...
2009Towards safer level crossings: existing recommendations, new applicable technologies and a proposed simulation model
Every year,more than 400 people are killed in over 1,200 accidents at road-rail level crossings in the European Union. Together with tunnels and specific road black spots, level crossings have been identified as being a particular weak point in road infras ...
2009TASEP related models with traffic light boundary
Cellular automata models play an important role in traffic modeling. For some variants of the Nagel-Schreckenberg model, the effects of traffic light boundary conditions are considered. Based on previous results, the exact density profiles can be derived e ...
