In-situ dynamic behavior of a railway bridge girder under fatigue causing traffic loading

Eugen Brühwiler, Andrin Herwig

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 ...

The spatial variability of vehicle densities as determinant of urban network capacity

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Seyyed Amin Mazloumian

Due to the complexity of the traffic flow dynamics in urban road networks, most quantitative descriptions of city traffic so far have been based on computer simulations. This contribution pursues a macroscopic (fluid-dynamic) simulation approach, which fac ...

The importance of being early

Nikolaos Geroliminis

This research quantifies the relationship between the cost of earliness and lateness by empirically observing commute trips from two different sources. The first empirical analysis uses individual level travel survey data from six metropolitan regions whil ...

Potentials and Deficits of a recent Approach for urban Traffic Monitoring based on Floating Car Data

Recently, the author proposed a new approach how to take advantage of common floating car data in context of urban traffic monitoring (cf. Neumann, 2009: Efficient queue length detection at traffic signals using probe vehicle data and data fusion, 16th ITS ...

Estimating Daily Curves of Queue Length at Traffic Signals using Floating Car Data

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 ...

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 ...

Trajectory sampling with unreliable reporting

Matthias Grossglauser

We define and evaluate methods to perform robust network monitoring using trajectory sampling in the presence of report loss. The first challenge is to reconstruct an unambiguous set of packet trajectories from the reports on sampled packets received at a ...

The workplace of Traffic Management Center Operators – what changes do experts foresee until 2020?

This paper aims to understand the dynamics of the Traffic Management Center operator workplace. Currently we can observe an expansion of tools, tasks and traffic volumes the operator has to handle. Using expert interviews and Mayring’s Qualitative Content ...

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 ...
