Cellular automata models play an important role in traffic modeling. For some variants of the Nagel-Schreckenberg model, the effects of traffic light boundary conditions are considered. Based on previous results, the exact density profiles can be derived e ...
Realistic simulation is a necessary tool for the proper evaluation of newly developed protocols for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). Several recent efforts focus on achieving this goal. Yet, to this date, none of the proposed solutions fulfill all the r ...
The geometry of the railway track is degraded under traffic load, and must be maintained periodically. This degradation is due to the arrangement of ballast particles under loads and vibrations, which results into irreversible plastic settlements. Tamping ...
With the bigger number of cars on our roads every year, also the potential danger to die or get injured in road traffic increases. Most of these accidents are due to human error, while driver assistant systems like ESP help making traffic more safe. To inc ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Today, one of the most important environmental problems in urban areas is air pollution. According to the World Health Organization, air pollution represents a serious risk to human health in many cities of the world. Road traffic is one of the main source ...
This paper addresses the problem of controlling the performance of optical burst switching (OBS) networks in presence of non-stationary traffic demands. We propose a joint burst admission control and forwarding mechanism that operates in core nodes. This m ...

There has been a significant growth in freight traffic over the last few decades in Europe. The Alps, located in the middle of North-South route, are particularly sensitive regarding this evolution because of their topographic and climatic characteristics. ...
