Integrated Empirical Analysis of the Effect of Variable Message Sign on Driver Route Choice Behavior
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigated the effect of a variable message sign (VMS) on drivers’ route choice behavior through a questionnaire survey and field-observed route choice data. A logistic model was developed based on the ...
Arterial Signal Coordination Considering the Impacts of Left-Turn Waiting Areas
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The left-turn waiting area (LTWA) has been commonly used in many signalized intersections to increase the capacity of left-turn movements. However, LTWAs may negatively affect the performance of arterial signal coordination ...
Assessment of Urban Rail Transit System Resilience Based on a Cloud Matter-Element Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To ensure the operational reliability and service quality of urban rail transit systems, it is crucial to assess the resilience of urban rail transit reasonably when subjected to disruptions. This paper divides the resilience ...
Traffic Signal Retiming to Improve Corridor Performance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Traffic signal retiming involves periodically updating existing signal coordination plans of signalized corridors. Nevertheless, there are still several limitations with the current signal retiming practice, such as managing ...
Traffic Queue Length Estimation at Permissive Left-Turn Signalized Intersections with Probabilistic Priority
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Probabilistic yielding behaviors are often observed at permissive left-turn signalized intersections in some countries, which tend to affect the operational performance of intersections such as queue length of left-turn ...
Vehicle Speed and Acceleration Profile Study for Metered On-Ramps in California
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ramp metering has been proven as an effective freeway-management strategy; however, one of the critical challenges in design and operation of ramp metering is the lack of up-to-date design guidance for acceleration lanes. ...

Abstract: Ramp metering has been proven as an effective freeway-management strategy; however, one of the critical challenges in design and operation of ramp metering is the lack of up-to-date design guidance for acceleration lanes. ...
Impact of On-Ramp Traffic Flow Arrival Profile on Queue Length at Metered On-Ramps
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At a metered on-ramp, a vehicle queue will be formed in front of the ramp meter when on-ramp demand exceeds the ramp-metering capacity. It is therefore important to provide adequate queue storage space to prevent ramp queue ...
Waiting Time Estimation at Ferry Terminals Based on License Plate Recognition
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The ferry transit system provides a critical transportation link in coastal areas for both residents and tourists. Like signals in a road network, queuing and waiting are unavoidable at ferry terminals. However, a reliable ...
