Capacity Drop Estimation Based on Stochastic Approach Applied to Tehran-Karaj Freeway
Existence of capacity drop phenomenon, as the difference between pre-queue and queue discharge flow rates, has been one of the controversial concepts of traffic engineering. Several researches have focused on capacity drop existence and also its estimation issues. This paper aims to estimate capacity drop based not only on a comparison between breakdown and queue discharge flow rates, but also ...
متن کاملA Stochastic Model for Reliability Analysis in Freeway Networks
The capacity of a freeway is traditionally considered as a constant value in traffic engineering. In reality, capacities vary according to external conditions such as dry or wet road surfaces, daylight or darkness, and to the prevailing travel purpose of drivers on the freeway. Even under constant external conditions different capacities can be observed on freeways because of variations in driv...
متن کاملTraffic 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...
متن کاملModeling crash-flow-density and crash-flow-V/C ratio relationships for rural and urban freeway segments.
There has been considerable research conducted in recent years into establishing relationships between crashes and various traffic flow characteristics for freeway segments. Most of the research has focused on determining the relationship between crashes and highway traffic volumes, while little attention has been focused on the relationships of vehicle density, level of service (LOS), vehicle ...
متن کاملEstimating the Capacity of the Basic Freeway Section Using Headway Method in Developing Countries (Case Study: Iran
Although there are remarkable differences in drivers’ behavior as well as vehicles characteristics, road capacity estimationmethods in developing countries are same as developed ones. So, the discrepancy between the theoretical andpractical values of capacity is inevitable. Although, capacity estimation methods can be classified based on numerousparameters, in developing count...
