Improved Driver Clustering Framework by Considering the Variability of Driving Behaviors across Traffic Operation Conditions
(ASCE, 2022-04-18)Analysis of driving behaviors and related driver clustering is of great significance for improving driving safety, but traffic operation conditions (especially road types and operating speed) often are neglected in existing ... -
Cooperative Control of Highway On-Ramp with Connected and Automated Vehicles as Platoons Based on Improved Variable Time Headway
(ASCE, 2022-04-18)This work investigated the cooperative control of a highway on-ramp under a connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) environment based on improved variable time headway (IVTH). A mainline section with a connected on-ramp ... -
Short-Term Online Taxi-Hailing Demand Prediction Based on the Multimode Traffic Data in Metro Station Areas
(ASCE, 2022-03-18)The emergence of online taxi-hailing fills the shortages of the taxi supply, but the reservable feature of online taxi-hailing has led to the increment of road parking, which has aggravated traffic congestion. Improving ... -
Modeling Automated Vehicle Crashes with a Focus on Vehicle At-Fault, Collision Type, and Injury Outcome
(ASCE, 2022-03-22)Automated vehicle (AV) technology is expected to make roads safer. However, until recently only a handful of studies could test such hypotheses due to limited access to testing data. This study contributes to the literature ... -
Multistage Fuzzy Logic Controller for Expressway Traffic Control during Incidents
(ASCE, 2022-03-30)In this research study, a multistage fuzzy logic controller (MS-FLC) was developed for traffic control in incident management on expressways. The MS-FLC serves as the traffic operator’s decision-making support tool at the ... -
Mud Pumping Defect Detection of High-Speed Rail Slab Track Based on Track Geometry Data
(ASCE, 2022-03-18)Mud pumping is a major problem for high-speed rail (HSR) slab tracks because it can cause deterioration of track alignment and further compromise operation safety and ride comfort of passengers. Timely inspection for mud ... -
