Life - Cycle Graphical Representation of Managed Hov Lane Evolution
High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes usually go through an evolution of stages in their life cycle. The typical evolution includes changes in demand levels from several modes including 2+ or 3+ carpools and vanpools, transit, and general-purpose vehicles. To ensure adequate usage, most facilities have started out with a designation of HOV 2+. In some cases, over time, HOV2 volumes have exceeded c...
متن کاملImpact of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane Incentives for Hybrids in Virginia
This paper examines the impact of Virginia’s policy of exempting hybrid-electric vehicles from minimum occupancy requirements on state HOV lanes. Virginia registration statistics are used to compile hybrid market shares on a county level to compare the impact of HOV lane access to other socioeconomic variables. The HOV incentive is shown to have a significant impact in Northern Virginia, but no...
متن کاملEvaluation of HOV and Shoulder lane Travel Strategy for I-95 BY CHUNG
Interstate 95 (I-95) is the major northsouth traffic artery for much of’ the eastern United States. In the Washington, D. C., area 1-95 joins I-495 (the Capital Beltway) to carry an extraordinary volume of the region’s traffic. In Northern Virginia, I-95 runs through Fairfax County, where it figures heavily in morning and afternoon commuting for thousands of motorists. The cumulative demand far...
متن کاملIntegrated Vehicle and Lane Detection with Distance Estimation
In this paper, we propose an integrated system that combines vehicle detection, lane detection, and vehicle distance estimation in a collaborative manner. Adaptive search windows for vehicles provide constraints on the width between lanes. By exploiting the constraints, the search space for lane detection can be efficiently reduced. We employ local patch constraints for lane detection to improv...
متن کاملOptimal Design of Bike Lane Facilities in an Urban Network
Cycling can improve the health of riders, reduce carbon emissions from travelling, relieve congestion in the transport network, and save health and social care costs. According to the Australian National Cycling Strategy 2011-2016, the goal is to double the number of cyclists in the next 5 years. Bike lanes play an important role in promoting bike travel in a safe and protected environment. Cur...
