The currently available queue model for multilane traffic control is based on priority discipline. This priority discipline based technique is not suitable to be applied for multilane-multiple intersections, since all vehicles in each lane move simultaneously according to its respective signal phase. In view of this scenario, a new general traffic model for multilane-multiple intersections base...

In heterogene...

Travel time estimation in urban arterials is challenging compared to freeways and multilane highways. This becomes more complex under Indian conditions due to the additional issues related to heterogeneity, lack of lane discipline, and difficulties in data availability. The fact that most of the urban arterials in India do not employ automatic detectors demands the need for an effective, yet le...

OBJECTIVE This paper explores the development of a rigorous computational model of driver behavior in a cognitive architecture--a computational framework with underlying psychological theories that incorporate basic properties and limitations of the human system. BACKGROUND Computational modeling has emerged as a powerful tool for studying the complex task of driving, allowing researchers to ...

The California Freeway Performance Measurement System stores real-time data from 26,000 loop detectors. PeMS is accessed via an internet browser (http://pems.eecs.berkeley.edu/). It currently has 3 TB of data, growing at 2 GB/day. PeMS extracts useful information from these data and displays it in graphical or tabular form. These data provide an unparalled opportunity to assess freeway performa...

OBJECTIVE To explore the reasons why individuals recurrently present with asthma to hospital emergency departments. DESIGN A predominantly qualitative study in which participants were interviewed in-depth about their asthma. Data on medication use, respiratory health and asthma knowledge were also collected, and asthma severity was determined from medical records. SETTING A tertiary teachin...

Traffic-monitoring systems, such as those using loop detectors, are prone to coverage gaps, arising from sensor noise, processing errors and transmission problems. Such gaps adversely affect the accuracy of Advanced Traveler Information Systems. This project will explore models based on historical data that can provide estimates to fill such gaps. We build on an initial study by Mr. Rafael J. F...

The issue of truck accidents on urban freeways is a vital concern for both traffic managers and the general public. The passage of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 and recently the North American Free Trade Agreement has increased the numbers of large combination vehicles on the highway system. The rise in truck volume (defined as vehicles exceeding 4.5 Mg (10,000 lbs), the int...

The left hard shoulder plays an important role in the event of emergency on inside a multi-lane highway, but past studies have not been able to clarify criteria for its installation or quantify safety impact side. In order study influence vehicles traveling highways, based that only studied situation four-lane this paper firstly constructs highway simulation model under different numbers lanes ...
