Most of existing motorway traffic safety studies using disaggregate traffic flow data aim at developing models for identifying real-time traffic risks by comparing pre-crash and non-crash conditions. One of serious shortcomings in those studies is that non ...
It is a well-known fact that nowadays reliable traffic data are an indispensable prerequisite for efficient traffic control and planning. Nevertheless, traffic monitoring in urban areas is still difficult and expensive due to complex traffic dynamics and r ...
This paper presents a methodology to develop motorway traffic risk identification models using individual vehicle traffic data, meteorological data and crash database for a study site at a two-lane-per-direction section on motorway A1 in Switzerland. We de ...
The DLR Traffic Data Platform (TDP) that is currently being developed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is an autonomous decentralised ITS system for distributed intelligent traffic data management and dissemination. Of course, there are many possibilit ...
The use of cooperative ITS communication systems, supporting driving through the dynamic exchange of Vehicle-to- Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) messages, is a potential candidate to improve the economical and societal welfare. The applic ...
The European Union (EU) Framework Program 7 (FP7) funded project, iTETRIS [1] (An Integrated Wireless and Traffic Platform for Real-Time Road Traffic Management Solutions) targets to extend state of art in simulation of wireless vehicular cooperative syste ...
Real-time urban traffic control systems frequently require precise traffic measurements and fast communications in order to achieve desired performance levels. Such requirements may hinder the adoption of these beneficial control systems because of the ins ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
