Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of geometric and operational features on freeway merge capacity by analyzing prebreakdown flow rates and using nonparametric and parametric (survival) analysis and semiparametric analysis ...

Abstract: Lane changing has received much attention as it is a significant component of microscopic traffic simulation. Many studies have focused on the details of the lane changing maneuver from external observation-based data which ...

Abstract: The capacity of a freeway segment is a critical factor for the planning, design, and analysis of freeway facilities. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) is considered to be one of the authoritative sources on capacity values ...

Abstract: The term

Abstract: Ramp-metering, which controls the onramp flow into the freeway, is successful in increasing freeway throughput and reducing overall travel-time. The maximum flow allowed from the onramp during ramp-metering is typically ...
