Highway automation has recently enjoyed renewed research interest as a method for solving highway congestion problems. To determine the feasibility of automated highways, it will be essential to estimate the automated highway benefits. A critical task in the analysis of automated highway benefits is to estimate the potential increase in highway capacity. This paper uses deterministic approximat...

Currently, the speed limit for tractor-trailers (TTs) on Egyptian highways is 30 km/h lower than passenger cars (PCs). The main purpose of this article therefore to evaluate effects an increase in TT both traffic safety and mobility three-lane highways, with limits 90 100 PCs. A SUMO simulation model was used analysis. Average vehicle delay as a measure mobility, while simulated conflict ratio ...

Side-sweep accidents are one of the major causes of loss of life and property damage on highways. This type of accident is caused by a driver initiating a lane change while another vehicle is blocking the road in the target lane. In this article, we are trying to quantify the degree to which different implementations of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication could reduce the occurrence of such ...

<span lang="EN-US">Automatic lane detection for driver assistance is a significant component in developing advanced systems and high-level application frameworks since it contributes to pedestrian safety on roads highways. However, due several limitations that must rectify, such as the uncertainties of patterns, perspective consequences, limited visibility lines, dark spots, complex backg...

| This paper will report new results we have obtained in applying stereo vision algorithms to the problem of autonomous vehicle navigation on highways. The project consists of two parts: lane extraction and obstacle detection. Our lane extraction system is based on a param-eterized model for the appearance of the lanes in the images. This model captures the position, orientation and width of th...

The current lane change maneuver for vehicles in a platoon under the California PATH automated highway system (AHS) architecture is inefficient, because the follower has to split from the rest of the platoon before making a lane change. In this paper, we propose to add a lane change within platoons maneuver that allows a follower to change lanes and be inserted into another platoon directly wit...

Purpose The trajectory of a vehicle is comprehensively affected by the interactions between the vehicle, the driving behavior, and the road environment. High-risk driving behaviors and accident-prone road sections can be identified based on the relationship between the trajectory and road geometry. Previous related studies mostly focused on the trajectory deviation at a few points on the road, ...
