Average Vehicle Occupancy Contribution Evaluation in Vehicular Disaster Management System
The importance of emergency response system has grown significantly in recent times due to the frequent manmade and natural disasters such as September 2001 and Hurricane Sandy 2012. Disaster, manmade and natural, causes great economic and human losses each year throughout the world. Transportation and Telecommunication play a crucial role in disaster response and management. Our previous work ...
متن کاملSafety of High-occupancy Vehicle Lanes without Physical Separation
This study addresses safety issues associated with the operation of freeway high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes that are not'separated by physical barriers from adjacent, general-purpose traffic lanes. Accident frequencies and characteristics obtained from 14 months of operation of an HOV lane in the greater Los Angeles area, together with similar data for 6 years' prior to the opening of the la...
متن کاملEffectiveness of California’s High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) System
California’s HOV system comprises 1,171 lane-miles, with 803 miles in the South and 366 in the North. This study analyzes peak period traffic data from hundreds of loop detectors over many months in order to evaluate the system’s effectiveness. The study finds: (1) HOV lanes are underutilized: 81% of HOV detectors measure flows below 1,400 vehicles per hour (vph); (2) Many HOV lanes suffer degr...
متن کاملA COMPARISON OF HIGH OCCUPANCY VEHICLE, HIGH OCCUPANCY TOLL, AND TRUCK ONLY LANES IN THE SACRAMENTO REGION by
As the evidence mounts that some HOV lanes will not produce expected reductions in congestion and emission, alternatives are being sought. High occupancy toll (HOT) lanes and truck only lanes are attractive alternatives. In this study, a region-wide system of new HOV lanes, HOT lanes, and truck only lanes in the Sacramento region are compared. The travel effects are simulated with the Sacrament...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Vehicle Occupancy Measurement
Factors affecting vehicle occupancy measurement were examined with the aim of improving state vehicle occupancy monitoring programs. A comparison was conducted of five data sets looking at the effects on average vehicle occupancy (AVO) of time of day, day of week, road types, HOV lanes, locational differences, and traffic volume. It was found that AVO was higher in the afternoons, on Saturdays,...
