Considering weather in simulating traffic

André-Gilles Dumont, Ashish Bhaskar, Minh Hai Pham, Sofia Samoili

The impact of weather on traffic and its behavior is not well studied in literature primarily due to lack of integrated traffic and weather data. Weather can significant effect the traffic and traffic management measures developed for fine weather might no ...

Update of the Swiss source model for road traffic noise

Hervé Lissek, François Aballéa, Pierre-Jean René

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 ...

ANALYZING AND COMPARING TRAFFIC NETWORK CONDITIONS WITH A QUALITY TOOL BASED ON FLOATING CAR AND STATIONARY DATA

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 ...

Effects of Variable Speed Limits on Motorway Traffic Flow

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 ...

Multi-objective signal control of urban junctions - Framework and a London case study

This paper presents an approach to multi-objective signal control using fuzzy logic. The signal control uses fuzzy logic where the membership functions are optimised according to the Bellman-Zadeh principle of fuzzy decision-making. This approach is both p ...

Overview of Traffic Signal Operation Policies for Ramp Metering

A ramp metering control algorithm includes typically two distinct components: the (most important) control strategy, which makes real-time decisions on the ramp exit flow to be implemented, and the translation of this decision into specific traffic light s ...

Applicability of road safety indicators to assess driving risks under Swiss road conditions

André-Gilles Dumont, Edward Chung, Minh Hai Pham

Road traffic crash is a problem in every country. According to World Health Organization, in Europe there are about 127,000 people killed and at least some 2.4 million injured each year. Incident detection algorithms to detect incidents on motorways are we ...

SEVECOM - Secure Vehicle Communication

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Maxime Raya, Levente Buttyan

Vehicle to Vehicle communication (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure communication (V2I) promise to improve road safety and optimize road traffic through cooperative systems applications. A prerequisite for the successful deployment of vehicular communicat ...

From car traffic to production flows

Roger Filliger

The purpose of this thesis is to show on explicit examples how various theoretical concepts, ranging from statistical mechanics to stochastic control and from traffic theory to queuing systems, can be transferred to transport processes, encountered in part ...
