Neural network based vehicle-following model for mixed traffic conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
Car-following behaviour is well studied and analyzed in the last fifty years for homogeneous traffic. However in the mixed traffic, following behaviour is found to vary based on type of lead and following vehicles. In this study, a neural network based model is proposed to predict the following behaviour for different lead and following vehicle-type combinations. Performance of the model is studied using data collected for six vehicle-type combinations. A multi-layer feed-forward back propagation network is used to predict vehicle-type dependent following behaviour by incorporating the vehicletype as input into the model. The neural network model is then integrated into a simulation program to study the macroscopic behaviour of the model. Performance of the proposed neural network model is compared with the conventional Gipps‟ model at microscopic and macroscopic level. This study prompts the need for considering vehicle-type dependent following behaviour and ability of neural networks to model this behaviour in mixed traffic conditions.

Car following process is time-varying in essence, due to the involvement of human actions. This paper develops an adaptive technique for car following modeling in a traffic flow. The proposed technique includes an online fuzzy neural network (OFNN) which is able to adapt its rule-consequent parameters to the time-varying processes. The proposed OFNN is first trained by an growing binary tree le...

Uncontrolled intersections are the intersections where there are no external signs or signals to control the movement of vehicles. In mixed traffic conditions priority rules are often violated by the road users. In All-way-stop-controlled intersections (AWSC), the vehicle should stop themselves before they enter the intersection and should check whether any vehicles are present in the other app...

Classified vehicle volumes are important inputs for traffic operation, pavement design, and transportation planning. However, such data are not available from single-loop detectors, the most widely deployed type of traffic sensor in the existing roadway infrastructure. Several attempts have been made to extract classified vehicle volumes from single-loop measurements in recent years. These stud...
