Continuum car-following model of capacity drop at sag and tunnel bottlenecks

The effect of road tunnel environment on car following behaviour.

In order to overcome urban space constraints, underground road systems are becoming popular options for cities. Existing literature suggests that accident rates in road tunnels are lower than those in open roads. However, there is a lack of understanding in how the road tunnel environment affects inter-vehicle interactions. In this study, car following data are obtained from traffic video foota...

A Car Following Model for Motorway Traffic

This paper presents a new car-following model which aims to capture some of the key motorway flow characteristics, namely traffic breakdown, hysteresis, shockwave propagation as well as close-following behaviour. The model proposes three different driving states: non-alert, alert and close-following. Under the different driving states, drivers apply different reaction time and acceleration. Thi...

Understanding Driver Car-Following Behavior Using a Fuzzy Logic Car-Following Model

A New Model of Car Following Behavior Based on Lane Change Effects Using Anticipation and Evaluation Idea

This paper aims to investigate a new and intricate behavior of immediate follower during the lane change of leader vehicle. Accordingly, the mentioned situation is a transient state in car following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car following models for a limited time, which is a complex state including lateral and longitudinal movement simul...

the innovation of a statistical model to estimate dependable rainfall (dr) and develop it for determination and classification of drought and wet years of iran

آب حاصل از بارش منبع تأمین نیازهای بی شمار جانداران به ویژه انسان است و هرگونه کاهش در کم و کیف آن مستقیماً حیات موجودات زنده را تحت تأثیر منفی قرار می دهد. نوسان سال به سال بارش از ویژگی های اساسی و بسیار مهم بارش های سالانه ایران محسوب می شود که آثار زیان بار آن در تمام عرصه های اقتصادی، اجتماعی و حتی سیاسی- امنیتی به نحوی منعکس می شود. چون میزان آب ناشی از بارش یکی از مولفه های اصلی برنامه ...
