This dissertation introduces traffic forecasting methods for different network configurations and data availability.
Chapter 2 focuses on single freeway cases.
Although its topology is simple, the non-linearity of traffic features makes this prediction sti ...
The use of Hard Shoulder Running (HSR) systems is a relatively recent control policy aiming to ameliorate traffic conditions in recurrent congested networks. This ITS strategy attracts researchers and practitioners interest, in an attempt to assess its imp ...
Nowadays, reassignments of hard shoulders into traffic lanes are spreading across Europe. This traffic management measure allows to respond to the growing saturation of high-capacity roads.In Switzerland, the first stretch to be equipped in such a way was ...
Responding to an impending demand growth at an existing reactive managed lane system, and in order to provide a timely and more effective temporary hard shoulder activation, short-term prediction models are developed. A lane-oriented attribute, namely the ...
