Stochastic Optimization for Coordinated Actuated Traffic Signal Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing state-of-the-practice traffic signal timing-optimization programs rely on macroscopic and deterministic models to represent traffic flow, including coordinated actuated traffic signal systems. One distinct shortcoming ...
Determining Lane Use Distributions Using Basic Freeway Segment Density Measures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lane use distribution is a useful factor in understanding the lane-by-lane variations of speed and volume on freeways. The most common lane distribution measure has been traffic volume. However, because travel speed from ...
Cumulative Travel-Time Responsive Real-Time Intersection Control Algorithm in the Connected Vehicle Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a cumulative travel-time responsive (CTR) real-time intersection control algorithm that takes full advantage of connected vehicles (CVs). The potential benefits of the proposed CTR algorithm under varying ...
Evaluation of Transition Methods of the 170E and 2070 ATC Traffic Controllers after Emergency Vehicle Preemption
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modern traffic signal control systems provide emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) capabilities using advanced sensors and communication technologies. While EVP strategies have been widely implemented by urban transportation ...
Connected Preceding Vehicle Identification for Enabling Cooperative Automated Driving in Mixed Traffic
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To enable the safe and fast formation of connected automated vehicle (CAV) platoons in real-world traffic, a preceding vehicle identification system for mixed traffic (PVIS-mixed) is proposed. PVIS-mixed utilizes the ...
Development and Evaluation of a Surrounding Vehicle Identification System for Mixed Traffic Cooperative Platooning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To facilitate cooperation among connected automated vehicles (CAVs), such as cooperative platooning or cooperative lane changes in mixed traffic comprising CAVs, connected human-driven vehicles (CHVs), and conventional ...
Microscopic Estimation of Arterial Vehicle Positions in a Low-Penetration-Rate Connected Vehicle Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wireless communication among vehicles and roadside infrastructure, known as connected vehicles, is expected to provide higher-resolution real-time vehicle data, which will allow more effective traffic monitoring and control. ...
Evaluation of Manual Traffic-Signal Control under Oversaturated Conditions Using Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper quantitatively assesses the performance of manual traffic-signal control by comparing its performance with two optimized traffic-signal controls during oversaturated conditions. To simulate manual traffic-signal ...
Field Evaluations of an Adaptive Traffic Signal—Using Private-Sector Probe Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study evaluated the in-service performance of the InSync adaptive signal control (ASC) system utilizing field data collected from the private sector travel time vendor INRIX. A total of six corridors in Virginia were ...
Probabilistic Approach to Implementing Traffic Signal Warrants
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Traffic signal warrants documented in the
