Effectiveness Evaluation of VMS Using Empirical Loop Detector Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effectiveness of Variable Messages Signs (VMS) on route guidance is assessed by a discrete probit choice model that estimates the proportion of vehicles that diverts to an alternative routes given the characteristics of different messages. A before–and–after study is also conducted to quantitatively evaluate the network wide reduction of travel time and total delay of VMS systems. We find that VMS has no obvious effect on reduction of travel time, but can reduce the total delay.

Close Following Behavior: Estimation of Desired Gap Headway Using Loop Detector Data (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The desired gap headway of drivers, while close following, represents the main parameter in determining the following distance between vehicles. This paper uses the raw individual vehicles data taken from loop detectors for millions of vehicles used M25 and M42 in order to estimate the gap headway distributions between successive pairs of vehicles. The data used in this paper were filtered so...
متن کاملCovariance Analysis of a vector tracking GPS receiver based on MMSE multiuser Detection
In high dynamic conditions, using vector tracking loops instead of scalar tracking loops in GPS receivers is proved as an efficient method to compensate the performance. The Minimum Mean Squared Error detector as a multiuser detector is applied in the vector tracking loop for more reliability and efficiency. The Kalman filter does the two tasks of tracking and extracting the navigation data aft...

متن کاملAn Empirical Comparison of Distance Measures for Multivariate Time Series Clustering
Multivariate time series (MTS) data are ubiquitous in science and daily life, and how to measure their similarity is a core part of MTS analyzing process. Many of the research efforts in this context have focused on proposing novel similarity measures for the underlying data. However, with the countless techniques to estimate similarity between MTS, this field suffers from a lack of comparative...
متن کاملDual Phase Detector Based Delay Locked Loop for High Speed Applications
In this paper a new architecture for delay locked loops will be presented. One of problems in phase-frequency detectors (PFD) is static phase offset or reset path delay. The proposed structure decreases the jitter resulted from PFD by switching two PFDs. In this new architecture, a conventional PFD is used before locking of DLL to decrease the amount of phase difference between input and outpu...
