Abstract: In this paper, a computer system named Advanced Emulator (AE), which is developed for simulation of traffic models, is presented. Unlike traditional transportation programs such as PARAMICS and VISSIM, AE has no built-in ...

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: 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 ...
