Ja n 20 05 Transient situations in traffic flow : Modelling the Mexico City Cuernavaca Highway
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a recent variable anticipation cellular automata model for single-lane traffic flow is extended to analyze the situation of free and congested flow in the Highway from Mexico City to Cuernavaca. This highway presents free flow in standard days; but in the returning day of long weekends or holidays it exhibits congested flow and in rush hours jamming appears. We illustrate how our CA model for traffic flow can deal appropriately with transient situations and can be used to search new alternatives that allow to improve the traffic flow in Mexican highways.

Adaptive Online Traffic Flow Prediction Using Aggregated Neuro Fuzzy Approach
Short term prediction of traffic flow is one of the most essential elements of all proactive traffic control systems. Although various methodologies have been applied to forecast traffic parameters, several researchers have showed that compared with the individual methods, hybrid methods provide more accurate results . These results made the hybrid tools and approaches a more common method for ...

متن کاملTraffic Flow Characteristics of Isolated Off-ramps in Iranian Expressways
The purpose of this study was to investigate traffic flow characteristics at off-ramp junctions in Iranian expressways. The study was conducted on the traffic behavior in isolated off-ramp vicinity of 6-lane expressways. The database consisted of traffic flow and traffic speed information extracted from videotapes. The relationship between diverging traffic flow in the right lane of expressway ...
متن کاملPartial Elliptical Two-Regime Speed-Flow Traffic Model Based on the Highway Capacity Manual
There have been several attempts to describe traffic flow behaviour by modelling the relationship between the main variables describing traffic such as speed, flow and density. Some of these models are based on simplistic assumptions and therefore, they are far from being accurate in representing the whole range of traffic conditions (e.g. from free flowing to congested situations). This paper ...
