One of the most important needs of pedestrians is safety at crossing points, especially at intersections. Intersections are important parts of the urban road network because any disruption in them reduces the capacity of the entire network. The main objective of this research is to propose an appropriate method for prioritizing urban intersections with considering the important factors affectin...

In this paper a simplified isolated controlled intersection is introduced. A discreteevent max-plus model is proposed to formulate the optimization problem for the switching sequences. The formulated max-plus problem is converted to be solved by linear programming (LP). In the special case when the criterion is a strictly increasing and linear function of the queue lengths, the steady-state con...

DOI: 10.3141/2259-09 plex in nature because their scopes have been rapidly expanding far beyond the traditional realm. “A large number of variables are involved; the parametric relationships among them are not well-u...

The operational and safety performance of intersections is the key to ensuring efficient operation urban traffic. With development automated driving technologies, ability adaptive traffic signal control has been improved according data detected by connected vehicles (CAVs). In this paper, an was proposed optimize intersection. algorithm based on Q-learning considers loop detectors CAVs. Further...

Development of disaggregate models for estimating different property damage collision type frequencies in urban intersections has rarely been studied, particularly in Iran. It seems very little research work being implemented for studying the effect factors on collision type frequency at intersections. The main objective of this paper is to develop suitable statistical models to predict types o...

Many controllers have applied the Adaptive Neural-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) concept for optimizing the controller performance. However, there are less traffic signal controllers developed using the ANFIS concept. ANFIS traffic signal controller with its fuzzy rule base and its ability to learn from a set of sample data could improve the performance of Existing traffic signal controlling sy...

Background: Distracted walking is a major cause of pedestrian fatalities. Along with the expansion and popularity of mobile phones, their impacts on pedestrian safety, especially when crossing urban intersections have attracted a lot of attention. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of mobile-phone use on pedestrians’ crossing behavior when passing signalized intersections. Ma...

The rapid development and deployment of vehicle technologies offer opportunities to re-think the way traffic is managed. This article capitalizes on connectivity proposes an economic instrument corresponding cooperative framework for allocating priority at intersections. compatible with a variety existing intersection control approaches. Similar free markets, our allows vehicles trade their tim...
