متن کاملModeling the Impacts of Inclement Weather on Freeway Traffic Speed: An Exploratory Study Utilizing Social Media Data
Recently, there has been an increased interest in quantifying and modeling the impact of inclement weather on transportation system performance. One problem that the majority of previous research studies on the topic have faced is that they largely depended on weather data merely from atmospheric weather stations, which lacked information about road surface condition. The emergence of social me...
متن کاملAn Alternative Approach to Centroids and Connectors Pattern: Random Intra-Zonal Travel Time
In traditional traffic assignment procedure, each traffic analysis zone is represented by one point in its geometric center which is connected to the network by several connectors. Results of studies show that different connector patterns would result up to 10% change in estimated volume and up to 20% change in total travel time. Also the different patterns of connectors can change the priority...
متن کاملImpacts of Weather on Urban Freeway Traffic Flow Characteristics and Facility Capacity
Adverse weather degrades the capacities and operating speeds on roadways, resulting in congestion and productivity loss. Without a solid understanding of the mobility impacts of weather on traffic patterns, freeway operators do not have the estimates of speed and capacity reductions to predict and simulate the impacts of traffic management strategies. Nearly all traffic engineering guidance and...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Stochastic Switched Model of Freeway Traffic Incidents
This article models the interaction between freeway traffic dynamics and capacity-reducing incidents as a stochastic switched system, and analyzes its long-time properties. Incident events on a multi-cell freeway are modeled by a Poisson-like stochastic process. Randomness in the occurrence and clearance of incidents results in traffic dynamics that switch between a set of incident modes (discr...
