Management of road traffic in urban settings remains a challenging problem. Perimeter control schemes proposed to alleviate congestion in large-scale urban networks usually assume noise-free measurements of the traffic state, which is problematic since mea ...
It has been recently proposed and tested that traffic in large urban regions (neighbourhoods) can be modelled dynamically at an aggregate level, if the neighbourhoods are uniformly congested. By exploiting the insights and the properties of a macroscopic f ...
High level of detail renders microscopic traffic models impractical for control purposes and local control schemes cannot coordinate actions over large scale heterogeneously congested urban networks. Developing efficient models and control methods for larg ...
Today, the development and evaluation of traffic management strategies heavily relies on microscopic traffic simulation models. In case detailed input (i.e. od matrix, signal timings, etc.) is extracted and incorporated in these simulators, they can provid ...
Part I of the thesis investigates novel urban traffic state estimation methods utilizing probe vehicle data. Chapter 2 proposes a method to integrate the collective effect of dispersed probe data with traffic kinematic wave theory and data mining technique ...
High level of detail renders microscopic traffic models impractical for control purposes and local control schemes cannot coordinate actions over the whole city. Thus, development of efficient modeling and control methods for large-scale urban road network ...
Abstract: Congestion at motorway junctions is a traffic phenomenon that degrades operation of infrastructure and can lead to breakdown of traffic flow and associated reduction in capacity. Advanced communication technologies open new possibilities to preve ...
Recent advances in traffic flow theory at the network level, namely the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD), reveals the existence of well-defined laws of congestion dynamics at aggregated levels. The same knowledge for multimodal networks however is lim ...
Traffic congestion is a significant issue in all urban areas with concentration of activities for various city topologies and distribution of population and land use around the world. Developing realistic models that are able to replicate congestion spread ...
Day-to-day travel time variability plays a significant role in travel time reliability. Nowadays, travelers not only seek to minimize their travel time on average, but also value its variation. The variation in the mean and the variance of travel time (acr ...
