The evaluation of capacity at signalized intersections is an important component in the proper planning, design, operation, and management of urban road street network. A procedure for determining the saturation flow rates at signalized intersections is presented in this paper; the procedure differs substantially from the procedure as discussed in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). ANalysis of ...

Five urban, uncontrolled T-intersections known to be motorcycle crash 'black spots' were monitored using instrumentation and a roadside observer. Two sets of twelve-hour observations were collected for each site (N≈100,000). Instrumentation recorded the 'events' of vehicles passing to measure, speed, direction, lane position, vehicle type (broadly characterised) and headway. Observers further r...

This paper aims to present and evaluate the performance of one of the first real-time bus dispatching system in Bangkok, Thailand. The proposed bus dispatching system receives the real-time bus location data from the RFID sensor network. The paper provides the background and brief description of both the hardware and architecture of the RFID sensor network and the real-time bus dispatching syst...

Bus bunching often occurs in public transit system, resulting a series of problems such as poor punctuality, long waiting time and low service quality. In this paper, we explore the influence discrete distribution traffic operation state on dynamic evolution bus bunching. Firstly, use self-organizing map (SOM) to find threshold analyze factors that affect based GPS data No. 600 line Xi'an. Then...

This paper analyzes the potential effects of connected and automated vehicles on saturation headway capacity at signalized intersections. A intersection is created in Vissim as a testbed, where four vehicle types are modeled tested: (I) human-driven (HVs), (II) (CVs), (III) (AVs), (IV) (CAVs). Various scenarios defined based different market-penetration rates these types. AVs assumed to move mo...

This review provides a comparative study of contemporary MXene-based hybrid electrode materials in different alkali ion batteries.

Ahmad, Shaikh.M.S.C.E.,Purdue University, December 2014.Capacity-Related Driver Behavior on Modern Roundabouts Built on High-Speed Roads. Major Professor: Andrew Tarko. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the factors that affect capacity-related driver behavior on modern roundabouts built on high-speed roads. The capacity of roundabouts is strongly affected by the behavior of driver...
