Traffic control of dump truck fleets at intersections for mining productivity improvement

Feedback Linearization Control for Path Tracking of Articulated Dump Truck

The articulated dump truck is a widespread transport vehicle for narrow rough terrain environment. To achieve the autonomous driving in the underground tunnel, this article proposes a path following strategy -for articulated vehicle based on feedback linearization algorithm. First of all, the kinematic model of articulated vehicle, which reflects the relationship between the structure parameter...

Assessing Behavioral Patterns of Motorcyclists Based on Traffic Control Device at City Intersections by Classification Tree Algorithm

According to the forensic statistics, in Iran, 26 percent of those killed in traffic accidents are motorcyclists in recent years. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the causes of motorcycle accidents because of the high number of motorcyclist casualties. Motorcyclists' dangerous behaviors are among the causes of events that are discussed in this study. Traffic signs have the important role of...

Delays at signalised intersections with exhaustive traffic control

In this paper we study a traffic intersection with vehicle-actuated traffic signal control. Traffic lights stay green until all lanes within a group are emptied. Assuming general renewal arrival processes, we derive exact limiting distributions of the delays under Heavy Traffic (HT) conditions. Furthermore, we derive the Light Traffic (LT) limit of the mean delays for intersections with Poisson...

A GIS-based Traffic Control Strategy Planning at Urban Intersections

For having better and up to date traffic information access, spatio-temporal GIS for transportation (TGIS-T) needs to interact with the intelligent transport systems (ITS). Advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) is one of the components of the ITS and predicts traffic congestion and provides real time traffic information and optimal control strategies for freeways and arterials. ATMS needs ...
