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 ...
Cities with medium to high traffic volumes are expected to keep the traffic rolling in a most efficient way. Accidents, construction sites or large events are counteracting this effort. In addition, cities are facing the fact that traffic signal plans conf ...
Floating car data (FCD) meanwhile is a widely available and affordable data source. The given GPS data – delivered in frequencies of some seconds or sometimes only a few minutes – are typically matched to some digital road network and mainly the traffic va ...
Of all modes of transport, transport by road is the most dangerous and the most costly in terms of human lives, according to Road Safety Action Program (2003-2010). In Europe, the 2010 road safety target of halving the number of road fatalities by 2010 see ...
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 ...
In this paper, we present a method for determining motorway traffic regimes where the sensitivity of motorway crash risk indicators could be better understood. Motorway crashes are usually severe. If the crash risk could be monitored, it would be possible ...
We present and analyze a new aggregate model of urban traffic. The objective is to analytically capture the correlation between the different components of the network while maintaining a tractable model that can be used in an optimization framework. Exist ...
This study proposes a framework for developing a pro-active system aiming at reducing motorway crash risk based on risk indicators. Although motorways are of safe road type by design, a crash if happens would be really severe. Reducing motorway crash risk ...
The impact of variable speed limits (VSL) on aggregate traffic flow behaviour on motorways is shown to bear similarities to the impact of ramp metering, in particular, when addressing potentially active bottlenecks. A quantitative model of the VSL impact i ...
In Switzerland, the calculation method of road traffic noise is specified in the Ordonnance sur la protection contre le bruit (OPB) (Noise Protection Ordonnance (NPO)). This method is mainly based on observations that were realized in the 80s, and that are ...
