Variable speed limits (VSLs) displayed on roadside variable message signs (VMSs) have emerged as a widespread traffic control measure on motorways in many countries, leading to substantial traffic safety benefits; however, there is no clear evidence of imp ...
This paper presents a methodology for increasing the reliability of route suggestions in route guidance systems. The procedure, based on the A* path-finding algorithm and Chen's link penalty method, involves penalizing links with a high risk of being conge ...
Practical large-scale nonlinear control systems (PLSNCS) require an intensive and time-consuming fine-tuning process in order to achieve a satisfactory - or, even, acceptable - performance. In the majority of PLSNCS the fine-tuning process is performed by ...
We present behavioral models designed to capture the response of drivers to real-time traffic information. In 2003, we have conducted a survey in Switzerland in order to collect both Revealed Preferences (RP) and Stated Preferences (SP) about choice decisi ...
Geneva is a city used to organise international events like for example the International Motor Show which takes place every year. Most of these events are hold on the Palexpo area, a group of buildings situated near the Geneva airport. Both places are clo ...
The self-supplied navigation concept is based on the combination of the floating car data technique and the dynamic route guidance service in the same vehicles. The gains obtained by the users of such system are, obviously, closely related to the percentag ...
The available capacity of motorway networks is degraded in presence of traffic congestion, leading to reduced throughput, increased pollution and higher accident risk. The traffic flow efficiency may be increased via suitable application of several control ...
This research deals with self-supplied navigation systems (SNS), a combination of the technology of gathering travel time using floating car data (FCD) and dynamic route guidance (DRG). Using similar on-board equipment, these two systems can easily be comb ...
One of the more useful dynamic data used by ATIS (Advanced Traveller Information Systems) and ATMS (Advanced Traffic Management Systems) applications is the link travel time, in particular for the DRGS (Dynamic Route Guidance Systems) case. Among the diffe ...
This article describes how a simulation-based evaluation methodology was applied on a variable speed limit signs (VSLS) system designed for a heavily-traveled roadway around Lausanne, Switzerland. Using the MITSIM Laboratory, the evaluation focused on dete ...
