This paper describes a new approach to control traffic signals at isolated intersections by capturing vehicles’ delay times and utilize them to adjust the green times. Similar to a traditional vehicle actuated control a queue clearing policy is applied: Wi ...
As bridges form the keystone of transport networks, their safe operation with minimal maintenance closures is paramount for efficient operation. Yearly increases in the volume of heavy traffic mean a higher number of fatigue damaging load cycles. The study ...

We present an operational framework for the calibration of demand models for dynamic traffic simulations, where calibration refers to the estimation of a structurally predefined model's parameters from real data. Our focus is on disaggregate simulators tha ...
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 ...
The kinematic wave model is often used in simulation tools to describe dynamic traffic flow and to estimate and predict traffic states. Discretization of the model is generally based on Eulerian coordinates, which are fixed in space. However, the Lagrangian co ...
Implementing and promoting more sustainable forms of urban transport are key policies of Local Authorities throughout the UK. Park and Ride (P&R) is one such system implemented widely in the UK, especially in historic towns and cities with limited road and ...
Following about 40 years of successful deployment of coordinated traffic-responsive ramp control, a new generation is being developed for Minnesota's freeways based on density measurements, rather than flow rates. This was motivated from recent research in ...

This paper deals with the coordination of a group of mobile robots at an intersection. It focusses on decentralized navigation functions (DNFs) to achieve efficient traffic control. The main challenge is to define virtual potentials, which are used by dece ...
Several important network applications cannot easily scale to higher data rates without requiring focusing just on the large traffic flows. Recent works have discussed algorithmic solutions that trade-off accuracy to gain efficiency for filtering and track ...
Stresses in bridges due to traffic loading need to be determined as accurately as possible for reliable fatigue safety verification. In particular, the dynamic traffic effect due to running vehicles has to be considered in a realistic way. In-situ measurem ...
