Reproducible Features of Congested Highway Traffic
Observation of a 4-mile long, inhomogeneous, congested traffic stream revealed that vehicle accumulations between detectors vary with flow in a predictable way, and that a macroscopic kinematic wave with a reproducible speed exists in queues despite unusual traffic behavior. As a result, time-dependent vehicle trip times and accumulations inside long queues (and the queue length itself) can be ...
متن کاملPredictability of Time-dependent Traffic Backups and Other Reproducible Traits in Experimental Highway Data
Traffic data from a 4-mile long congested rural road in Orinda, California, are used to show that traffic delays and vehicle accumulations between any two generic observers located inside a road section can be predicted from the traffic counts measured at the extremes of the section. The traffic model does not require “recalibration” on the day of the experiment, and works well despite what app...
متن کاملTraffic peak spreading in congested urban environments Traffic peak spreading in congested urban environments
The paper will describe the results of research recently completed, funded by Transfund New Zealand, into the phenomenon of traffic peak spreading in congested urban environments. The work looked specifically at two facets: 4 the extent to which traffic peak spreading has been observed and the underlying behavioural aspects 4 how (if) traffic peak spreading is modeled in different countries and...
متن کاملModeling Highway Traffic Volumes
The behavior of vehicular traffic is subject to many irregularities and stochastic fluctuations. Thus, our success in solving a variety of traffic management and optimizations tasks, such as accident detection or optimal vehicle routing, depends heavily on our ability to adequately model, reason about and predict such a behavior. The objective of this work is to develop a probabilistic model of...
متن کاملDeterminants of following Headway in Congested Traffic
This paper reports on results of a study undertaken in the U.K. aimed at investigating factors affecting the car following process. An understanding of the factors affecting this complex decision making process is essential to a wide range of theoretical issues including driver workload, capacity and the modeling of freeway flow, as well as practical applications such as the design of in-vehicl...
