Abstract: A heuristic approach to the application of bandwidth-oriented signal timing is proposed based on a system partition technique. The proposed approach divides a large signalized arterial into subsystems with three to five ...

Abstract: Probabilistic yielding behaviors are often observed at permissive left-turn signalized intersections in some countries, which tend to affect the operational performance of intersections such as queue length of left-turn ...

Abstract: Evaluating arterial operational performance plays a pivotal role in arterial system management and enhancement. As a fundamental reference guide for traffic engineers, the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) provides a series ...

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 ...

Abstract: Traffic signal retiming involves periodically updating existing signal coordination plans of signalized corridors. Nevertheless, there are still several limitations with the current signal retiming practice, such as managing ...
