Keeping the density of traffic flow and air pollution in an acceptable level and developing a good capacity for transit in the high priority areas of the city, is really a big deal in large and crowded cities. To address this problem, a new method of intersection signal optimization is presented in this paper. Based on network fundamental diagrams, an Internal–External Traffic Metering Strategy...

This paper attempts to provide an overview of current market trends in industrial applications of VR (Virtual Reality) and VisSim (visual simulation) for the next few years. Several market studies recently undertaken are presented and commented. A profile of some companies that are starting to work with these technologies is provided, in an attempt to motivate Brazilian companies into the use o...

The determination of the coach terminal as passenger logistics hub is described. The factors responsible for successful functioning of this hub are discussed. The location of the coach terminal is one of the important factors. The present coach terminal is located in the heart of the city where land availability is critical. The simulation model of the terminal was developed to complement the d...

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that the major cause of vehicle crashes in the United States has been driver inattention and distraction. Among various types of distraction, cell-phone dialing and text messaging have been shown to significantly degrade driving performance. Existing studies have mainly focused on driver distraction scenarios with one or a few...

Due to the increase of vehicle numbers in recent decades, there exists a significant problem of reoccurring road traffic congestion. Such congestions are a characteristic of densely populated urban areas. They occur daily during the morning and afternoon rush hours. The road traffic congestion problem can be solved by applying new traffic control approaches from the domain of intelligent transp...

A procedure for constructing and calibrating a detailed model of a freeway using VISSIM is presented and applied to a 15-mile stretch of I-210 West in Pasadena, California. This test site provides several challenges for microscopic modeling: an HOV lane with an intermittent barrier, a heavy freeway connector, 20 metered onramps with and without HOV bypass lanes, and three interacting bottleneck...

The safety of river-crossing tunnels is an important aspect of urban road traffic systems. Previous studies concerning traffic safety mainly focused on urban roads. Given the absence of a number of variables, such as speed and real-time traffic volume, in traffic accident databases, the traffic safety of urban river-crossing tunnels has rarely been studied. This study used the microscopic traff...

Kepadatan atau kemacetan di DKI Jakarta merupakan isu yang sampai saat ini belum terselesaikan. Penelitian dilakukan untuk melihat tundaan terjadi bundaran tersebut. PTV VISSIM melakukan simulasi dengan memasukkan data volume kendaraan dan lainnya. Program tersebut dapat digunakan juga memproyeksikan 5 tahun kedepan mengetahui dampak dari lalu lintas Nilai pertumbuhan persetiap nya sebesar 1%. ...

Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bundaran di kelapa gading, Jakarta. Secara prinsip akan simulasi kondisi eksisting untuk mengetahui nilai kepadatan lalu lintas yang terjadi. Pada penelitian proyeksi sampai tahun ke-5 melihat panjang antrian terjadi tersebut. pelaksanaan dibutuhkan survei mendetail berkaitan dengan volume kendaraan ditinjau. Dalam dibentuk 4 tim beranggotakan masing-masing 3 orang...
