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 ...
We present the real-world test of the SPECIALIST algorithm in which dynamic speed limits were used to resolve shock waves on freeways. The real-world test was performed in the period September 2009–February 2010 on a 14 km long stretch on the Dutch A12 fre ...
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 ...
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 ...
The aim of this thesis is to develop a new methodology to determine dynamic Origin-Destination (OD) matrices for urban networks characterized by a high number of traffic hubs, complex route choice possibilities and a high level of traffic controls. By revi ...
Fundamental diagrams of traffic flow variables have been quite useful in determining freeway operations quality. However, they are usually not used for that purpose on urban roads. This work is an approach toward utilizing the fundamental diagram on urban ...
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 ...
There is a number of highway transportation infrastructures where traffic flow arriving on a higher number of lanes must merge into a lower number of lanes within a limited space, e.g., merging highways, merging on-ramps, toll plazas, work zones. When the ...
Currently, the comparatively young floating car technology is mostly used to get information about travel times which however are more attractive to navigation and route guidance. Concerning traffic management applications such as traffic light control, it ...
