1 The traffic flow heterogeneity caused by the different car-following dynamics among the different types 2 of vehicles has drawn increasing attention recently. This paper explores the characteristics of the four 3 types of car-truck car-following combinations, car-following-car (CC), car-following-truck (CT), truck4 following-car (TC) and truck-following-truck (TT), and their impacts on traffi...

Original scientific paper Planning of road transport infrastructure is a complex process. One of the major issues is determining the design elements of road infrastructure (road type and number of traffic lanes, cross-sectional profile, etc.). When designing roads, parameters from the international literature are used, containing values derived empirically from local data on traffic flow (mostl...

We present a network formulation for traffic flow model with nonlocal velocity in the flux function. The modeling framework includes suitable coupling conditions at intersections to either ensure maximum or distribution parameters. Based on an upwind type numerical scheme, we prove principle and existence of weak solutions networks. also investigate limiting behavior proposed models when influe...

The rapid proliferation of Global Position Service (GPS) devices and mounting number of traffic monitoring systems employed by municipalities have opened the door for advanced traffic control and personalized route planning. Most state of the art traffic management and information systems focus on data analysis, and very little has been done in the sense of prediction. In this article, we devis...

Problem of traffic jams is common in large cities. Urban traffic control systems aim to solve this problem. The major difficulty in urban traffic is large number of variables for representing the state of traffc, such as traffic flow,speed, and density. Lack of precise relations between these variables is another problem. In this paper, we present a new model for traffic flow and introduce a tr...

We consider networks where traffic is served according to the Generalised Processor Sharing (GPS) principle. GPS-based scheduling algorithms are considered important for providing differentiated quality of service in integrated-services networks. We are interested in the workload of a particular flow i at the bottleneck node on its path. Flow i is assumed to have long-tailed traffic characteris...
