Modeling the Impacts of Inclement Weather on Freeway Traffic Speed: An Exploratory Study Utilizing Social Media Data
Recently, there has been an increased interest in quantifying and modeling the impact of inclement weather on transportation system performance. One problem that the majority of previous research studies on the topic have faced is that they largely depended on weather data merely from atmospheric weather stations, which lacked information about road surface condition. The emergence of social me...
متن کاملModifying Signal Timing During Inclement Weather
Most individuals living in cold weather climates realize that on snowy days their commute will take longer. While traffic volumes are often lower, the combination of reduced speeds and capacity cause severe congestion particularly in signalized urban networks. Signal coordination that reduces traffic congestion in typical clear conditions results in an uncoordinated and sub-optimal timing plan....
متن کاملForward Vehicular Lighting and Inclement Weather Conditions
This paper summarizes research conducted to investigate the problem of forward visibility while driving during inclement weather. A review of the literature indicates that using narrow-distribution lamps, mounted away from the driver's line of sight, would result in the lowest amount of back-scattered light. The literature also indicates that the spectral content of light can influence glare an...
متن کاملImpacts of Snowy Weather Conditions on Expressway Traffic Flow Characteristics
Snowy weather will significantly degrade expressway operations, reduce service levels, and increase driving difficulty. Furthermore, the impact of snow varies in different types of roads, diverse cities, and snow densities due to different driving behavior. Traffic flow parameters are essential to decide what should be appropriate for weather-related traffic management and control strategies. T...
متن کاملVehicle Longitudinal Control and Traffic Stream Modeling
A simple yet efficient traffic flow model, in particular one that describes vehicle longitudinal operational control and further characterizes traffic flow fundamental diagram, is always desirable. Though many models have been proposed in the past with each having its own merits, research in this area is far from conclusive. This paper contributes a new model, i.e., the longitudinal control mod...
