Modeling Traffic at Sags
Freeway capacity decreases at sags due to local changes in car-following behavior. Consequently, sags are often bottlenecks in freeway networks. This article presents a microscopic traffic model that reproduces traffic flow dynamics at sags. The traffic model includes a new car-following model that takes into account the influence of freeway gradient on vehicle acceleration. The face-validity o...
متن کاملA Feedback-Based Approach for Mainstream Traffic Flow Control of Multiple Bottlenecks on Motorways
Mainstream traffic flow control (MTFC) enabled via variable speed limits (VSLs) has been investigated in previous studies, utilizing various control strategies. In this paper a new feedback control strategy is proposed for MTFC enabled via VSLs, considering multiple bottleneck locations. Results are evaluated using a validated macroscopic model. The feedback concept is robust and can be immedia...
متن کاملControl of Nozzle Flow Using Microjets at Supersonic Mach Regime
This article reports the active control of base flows using the experimental procedure. Active control of base pressure helps in reducing the base drag in aerodynamic devices having suddenly expanded flows. Active control in the form of microjets having 0.5 mm radius placed at forty-five degrees apart is employed to control the base pressure. The Mach numbers of the present analysis are 1.7, 2....
متن کاملEstimating Traffic Conditions At Metropolitan Scale Using Traffic Flow
1 Traffic has become a major problem in metropolitan areas around the world. It is of a great 2 importance to understand the complex interplay of road networks and traffic conditions. We 3 propose a novel framework to estimate traffic conditions at metropolitan scale using GPS traces. 4 Our approach begins with a coarse inference of network travel times by solving a convex 5 optimization progra...
متن کاملHighway Traffic Flow Analysis and Control
Significant inspiration of computer network topology and communication comes froman empirical understanding of how road networks function. This project takes foundational work by CHESS researchers in hybrid systems to investigate a macroscopic switching-modemodel (SMM) of traffic. The goal is to learn how hybrid systems are used for trafficmodeling, experiment with different techniques for reac...
