Abstract: Transportation network improvements are commonly evaluated by estimating average speeds from a transportation/traffic model and converting them into emission estimates using an environmental model such as MOBILE or EMFAC. ...

Abstract: The paper demonstrates some inherent limitations of the TRANSYT software with regard to calibration of the recursive platoon dispersion model and, more specifically, modification of the travel time factor. Subsequently, ...

Abstract: This paper introduces the concept of a linearly increasing variable power to the basic vehicle dynamics model that has been proposed in the literature. The paper also calibrates the model to typical truck classifications ...

Abstract: The paper identifies a total of 34 different weaving section configurations that are modeled while operating at capacity using the INTEGRATION software for a wide range of weaving section lengths and travel demand ...

Abstract: Macroscopic emission models use average speed as a sole traffic-related explanatory variable. Research, however, has demonstrated that the use of average speed as a single traffic-related explanatory variable is insufficient ...

Abstract: The paper improves upon the Yu and Van Aerde calibration procedure of the TRANSYT-7F platoon dispersion model, particularly for time steps greater than 1 s in duration, and develops three generalized platoon dispersion ...

Abstract: The paper utilizes a linearly increasing variable power vehicle dynamics model to develop the

Abstract: The study consists of a systematic simulation evaluation of transit signal priority (TSP) impacts on the operations of a single signalized intersection within a coordinated arterial system. The study demonstrates first ...
