Passenger Traffic Characteristics of Service Facilities in Rail Transit Stations of Shanghai
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The configuration of service facilities, such as ticket vending machines, staffed ticket booths, automatic fare gates, and escalators, is an important issue for the plan and design of rail transit stations. Reasonable ...
Variable Speed Limit Control Design for Relieving Congestion Caused by Active Bottlenecks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Variable speed limit (VSL) can be used on freeways to manage traffic flow with the goal of improving capacity. To achieve this objective, it is necessary that both speed and density dynamics be represented accurately. In ...
Design of LRT Signal Priority to Improve Arterial Traffic Mobility
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Optimal Ramp Metering Control for Weaving Segments Considering Dynamic Weaving Capacity Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: On freeway corridors, traffic flow is limited by active bottlenecks. Weaving maneuvers (i.e., intensive lane changes) are a major cause of bottlenecks during high-demand periods. To relieve bottleneck severity, ramp metering ...
Implementation of Variable Speed Limits: Preliminary Test on Whitemud Drive, Edmonton, Canada
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Modeling Driver Compliance to VSL and Quantifying Impacts of Compliance Levels and Control Strategy on Mobility and Safety
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Variable speed limits (VSL) aim to improve freeway mobility and safety by influencing collective behaviors of drivers. Thus, VSL benefits should be positively correlated with the VSL compliance level (CL). Surprisingly, a ...
Adaptive Pushbutton Control for Signalized Pedestrian Midblock Crossings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pushbutton control is ideal for midblock crossings with low pedestrian and vehicle demand, but it causes significant interruptions to traffic flow with frequent pedestrian crossing requests. Therefore, we propose an adaptive ...
