This paper presents findings from a comparative evaluation of car-following behaviour in a number of microscopic traffic simulators. The paper describes the results of the calibration and validation of the car following model implemented in the ARTEMiS simulator developed by the author. The calibration and validation are based on a ‘standard’ car-following experiment (called the Boschtest) whic...

The impact of driving automation and adaptive cruise control (ACC) on traffic performance has been increasingly studied in recent years. This paper focuses two widely used ACC car following models investigates the time headway parameter operation one busiest freeway corridors Ontario, Canada. Using Aimsun microsimulation, we compare commonly models; intelligent driver model (IDM) Shladover’s wh...

This article analyses the impact that different parking management policies may have on public roads. Policies were simulated using a new model based two sub models: choice of place and search for place. The considers curb traffic was implemented into traditional microsimulation software. parameters models estimated from data collected in city centre Santander (Spain) stated preferences survey ...

Bu çalışma, günümüzde araç sayısının artmasına bağlı olarak meydana gelen trafik yoğunluğu durumunu değerlendirmek ve modellemek için kullanılan simülasyon yazılımları arasından seçilen bir grup programın (SUMO, Quadstone Paramics Modeller, Aimsun, Trafficware SimTraffic, CORSIM TRAFVU, PTV Vissim) genel özelliklerini incelemek amacıyla hazırlanmıştır.

In this paper, we present an integrated simulation approach featuring centralized and decentralized traffic management in urban areas. Our aim is to improve traffic flows by dynamic traffic management which is supported by vehicular communication interlinking centralized and decentralized decision making. We focus on traffic state estimation and the optimization of traffic lights as a central c...

Stop-&-Go waves also known as traffic oscillations are the conditions characterized by sudden braking followed by acceleration. This leads to an increase in fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, safety risks increased heart rate and blood pressure level of drivers. It causes discomfort, delays and frustration to the driver thus making them to avoid travelling in such conditions. This paper will test...

Ramp signalling is an access control for motorways, in which a traffic signal is placed at onramps to regulate the rate of vehicles entering the motorway and thus to preserve the motorway capacity. In general, ramp signalling algorithms fall into two categories: local control and coordinated control by their effective scope. Coordinated ramp signalling strategies make use of measurements from t...
