This paper extends the concept of a design hourly volume (DHV) which is derived from “ nth hour” to based on highest saturated hour. To calculate this hour at each ramp junction node, it necessary have permanent traffic counts (PTC) all ramps and main lanes. In practice, such are often not available. For cases, German Highway Capacity Manual proposes method that enables estimation DHV through s...

As one of the supporting cities that connects to Batu City, Malang City has several connecting roads can be alternative which is Simpang Gajayana road - Joyoagung road, with function as a secondary collector. Along rapid rate mobility and community growth, many social areas have been developed along this so section becomes crowded heavy traffic, it certainly an impact on level service. The purp...

Highway construction projects are one of the most important construction projects in the world. Therefore predicting the time of these kinds of projects is important. Basically highway projects are including few activities which are repeating along the horizontal direction. One of the best methods for scheduling these types of projects is linear scheduling method. The repetitive nature of the h...

Dynamic traffic assignment through analytical modeling and optimization has been widely accepted by the IVHS R&D community as a promising traffic control tool for understanding and relieving traffic congestion on conventional highways and city streets. Due to the completely controlled nature of AHS traffic, dynamic assignment of AHS traffic is even more promising. One added dimension of complex...

To approach the goal of "Toward Zero Deaths," there is a need to develop an analysis paradigm to better understand the effects of a countermeasure on reducing the number of severe crashes. One of the goals in traffic safety research is to search for an effective treatment to reduce fatal and major injury crashes, referred to as severe crashes. To achieve this goal, the selection of promising co...

BACKGROUND The growing interest in research on the health effects of near-highway air pollutants requires an assessment of potential sources of error in exposure assignment techniques that rely on residential proximity to roadways. METHODS We compared the amount of positional error in the geocoding process for three different data sources (parcels, TIGER and StreetMap USA) to a "gold standard...

This paper considers the second-best policy problem that arises when auto travel is priced below its marginal cost and there is a substitute mass transit mode. We analyze the problem by combining a model of a rail line based on Kraus and Yoshida (JUE (2002)) with the highway bottleneck model. The model involves a transit authority which optimizes, in addition to the fare, two dimensions of tran...

Higher levels of pollutants are observed in the residential area near the highway passing through Jalgaon urban center. The continuous exposure of the population to these higher levels of air pollutants leads in decrease in the lung capacity. Decline in the lung parameters FVC, FEV1, and PEFR are observed in the population residing in the area than the non-exposed population.

In this paper, we introduce a large-scale three-dimensional (3D) erasure network, where n wireless nodes are randomly distributed in a cuboid of nλ×nμ×nν with λ+μ+ν = 1 for λ, μ, ν > 0, and completely characterize its capacity scaling laws. Two fundamental path-loss attenuation models (i.e., exponential and polynomial power-law models) are used to suitably model an erasure probability for packe...
