The Management of Urban Freeway Traffic

Freeway Traffic Management and Control

Freeway Traffic Management Using Linear Programming

We present in this paper a linear programming framework to address freeway control applications such as ramp metering. After showing the equivalence between the LWR model and a linear optimization problem, several extensions are introduced to model the ramp queues and the capacity drop phenomenon. A wide range of objective functions which are relevant in traffic engineering are then introduced ...

Traffic Flow Simulation for an Urban Freeway Corridor

The objective of this paper is to develop a realistic and operational macroscopic traffic flow simulation model which requires relatively less data collection efforts. Such a model should be capable of delineating the dynamics of traffic flow created by the merging and diverging activities and complex geometric conditions. In addition, it should have the capability of describing shock wave phen...

Modeling of Freeway Traffic

An integrated modeling of freeway traffic is developed, whose implementation in an uniform computer–aided simulation model facilitate comparative evaluation and systematic coupling of several traffic simulations, traffic controls, traffic measurements and traffic scenarios. The integrated modeling of freeway traffic is a basic mapping of freeway networks, control methods, measurements and diffe...

the effect of traffic density on the accident externality from driving the case study of tehran

در این پژوهش به بررسی اثر افزایش ترافیک بر روی تعداد تصادفات پرداخته شده است. به این منظور 30 تقاطع در شهر تهران بطور تصادفی انتخاب گردید و تعداد تصادفات ماهیانه در این تقاطعات در طول سالهای 89-90 از سازمان کنترل ترافیک شهر تهران استخراج گردید و با استفاده از مدل داده های تابلویی و نرم افزار eviews مدل خطی و درجه دوم تخمین زده شد و در نهایت این نتیجه حاصل شد که تقاطعات پر ترافیک تر تعداد تصادفا...
