Identifying the Effects of Geometric and Operational Parameters on Merging Speed and Breakdown Probability at Expressway Merge Segments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Merging segments frequently experience traffic breakdowns as traffic flow shifts from free-flow conditions to congestion. This transition is primarily attributed to the arrival of vehicles from on-ramps onto expressways, ...
Optimizing Longitudinal Alignment in Railway with Regard to Construction and Operating Costs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Designing baseline or vertical alignment in railways greatly depends on the designer’s experience. An inaccurate design imposes unreasonable costs during construction and operations. This paper presents a program to find ...
Impact of Optimal Selection of Merging Position on Fuel Consumption at Highway On-Ramps
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In recent years, there have been research efforts to develop intelligent control approaches for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) at merging highways to reduce traffic jams and the consumption of fuel. This paper ...
