Delay Models for Mixed Platoon and Secondary Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A mathematical model is described for estimating approach delays at pretimed, signalized, coordinated intersections. The delay models incorporate the size of and flow rate within the progression bandwidth. Platoon dispersion ...
Minimum‐Cost Design of Flexible Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The formulation of a mixed integer‐linear programming model to determine a minimum‐cost flexible pavement design is presented. The model identifies the number, type, and thicknesses of paving materials required to meet the ...
Event-Based Modeling of Driver Yielding Behavior at Unsignalized Crosswalks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research explores factors associated with driver yielding behavior at unsignalized pedestrian crossings and develops predictive models for yielding by using logistic regression. It considers the effect of variables ...
Enhanced Decision-Making Framework Using Reliability Concepts for Freeway Facilities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a decision-making framework based on a travel time reliability methodology developed under the U.S. Strategic Highway Research Program. Existing methods consider a set of predefined prevailing conditions ...
Effect of Platoons on Permissive Left‐Turn Capacity: Pilot Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing models for estimating left turn capacity assume an average opposing flow rate throughout the cycle. While this assumption may be valid under random arrivals, it is evident that the presence of platoons results in ...
Intelligent Traffic Data Processing for ITS Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Real-time traffic data are the lifeline sustaining the operation of Advanced Traffic Management and Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATMS/ATIS). Data are essential to drive algorithms related to congestion/incident ...
Enhanced Decision-Making Framework Using Reliability Concepts for Freeway Facilities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a decision-making framework based on a travel time reliability methodology developed under the U.S. Strategic Highway Research Program. Existing methods consider a set of predefined prevailing conditions ...
Lane Choice Model for Signalized Intersections with an Auxiliary Through Lane
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An auxiliary through lane (ATL) is a commonly used congestion relief measure at signalized intersections in which fiscal and right-of-way constraints do not allow for full widening between intersections. Previously developed ...
Traffic Control at Freeway Work Sites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A comprehensive, multidisciplinary study of traffic control needs of freeway lane closures at work zones included surveys of drivers and highway patrolmen, test driver studies, field measurements of merging and speed ...
Field Evaluation of Lane Selection Strategies at Signalized Intersections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A critical element in assessing traffic performance at the individual lane level at signalized intersections is the knowledge of traffic volumes in each lane. Typically, turning movement volumes are available only for the ...
