Speed-Density Relationship: From Deterministic to Stochastic

نویسنده

چکیده

Traffic flow is a many-car system with complex and stochastic movement. It is difficult to describe the system dynamics solely using deterministic models which describe average system behaviors. Therefore, a stochastic speed-density relationship is proposed as a further step forward to overcome the well-known drawbacks of deterministic models. Modeling results show that by taking care of second-order statistics (i.e., mean and variance) a stochastic speeddensity model is suitable for describing the observed phenomenon as well as matching the empirical data. From here, a stochastic fundamental diagram of traffic flow can be established. The stochastic speed-density relationship model can potentially be used for real-time on-line prediction and to explain phenomenons in a similar manner. H. Wang, J. Li, Q. Y. Chen and D. Ni 3

Stochastic Modeling of the Equilibrium Speed-Density Relationship

As the graphical and mathematical representation of relationships among traffic flow, speed, and density, the fundamental diagram has been the foundation of traffic flow theory and transportation engineering. Underlying the fundamental diagram is the speed-density relationship which was originally documented in Greenshields’ seminal work and followed by a variety of equilibrium models over the ...

Joint Bayesian Stochastic Inversion of Well Logs and Seismic Data for Volumetric Uncertainty Analysis

Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...

Simulation and Prediction of Wind Speeds: A Neural Network for Weibull

Abstract. Wind as a resource of renewable energy has obtained an important share of the energy market already. Therefore simulation and prediction of wind speeds is essential for both, for engineers and energy traders. In this paper we analyze the surface wind speed data from three prototypic locations: coastal region (Rotterdam), undulating forest landscape few 100 m above sea level(Kassel), ...

A hybrid CS-SA intelligent approach to solve uncertain dynamic facility layout problems considering dependency of demands

This paper aims at proposing a quadratic assignment-based mathematical model to deal with the stochastic dynamic facility layout problem. In this problem, product demands are assumed to be dependent normally distributed random variables with known probability density function and covariance that change from period to period at random. To solve the proposed model, a novel hybrid intelligent algo...

Traffic Condition Detection in Freeway by using Autocorrelation of Density and Flow

Traffic conditions vary over time, and therefore, traffic behavior should be modeled as a stochastic process. In this study, a probabilistic approach utilizing Autocorrelation is proposed to model the stochastic variation of traffic conditions, and subsequently, predict the traffic conditions. Using autocorrelation of the time series samples of density and flow which are collected from segments...
