Discharge Headway Model for Heterogeneous Traffic Conditions

Analysis of Headway of Heterogeneous Traffic on Indian Urban Roads

Headway or inter-arrival time of vehicles is an important parameter in traffic flow, especially in urban roads, since this is one of the main parameters to determine the minimum (safe) gap between vehicles and the capacity. The studies done on headway analysis have mostly concentrated on homogeneous traffic where the flow follows lane discipline. This ideal situation does not exist on Indian ur...

pattern-based short-term traffic forecasting for urban heterogeneous conditions

short-term traffic flow forecasting plays a significant role in the intelligent transportation systems (its), especially for the traffic signal control and the transportation planning research. two mainly problems restrict the forecasting of urban freeway traffic parameters. one is the freeway traffic changes non-regularly under the heterogeneous traffic conditions, and the other is the success...

Effect of Phase Countdown Timers on Queue Discharge Characteristics Under Heterogeneous Traffic Conditions

Traffic State Estimation and Prediction under Heterogeneous Traffic Conditions

The recent economic growth in developing countries like India has resulted in an intense increase of vehicle ownership and use, as witnessed by severe traffic congestion and bottlenecks during peak hours in most of the metropolitan cities. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) aim to reduce traffic congestion by adopting various strategies such as providing pre-trip and en-route traffic info...

Headway distribution models of two-lane roads under mixed traffic conditions: a case study from India

Introduction The time headway of vehicles is of fundamental importance in traffic engineering applications like capacity, levelof-service and safety studies. Further, the performance of traffic simulation depends on inputs into the simulation process and ‘accurate vehicle generation’ is critical in this context. Thus, it is important to define headway distribution pattern for the purpose of ana...
