Abstract

Prediction of traffic-flow in Istanbul has been a great concern for planners of the city. Istanbul as being one of the most crowded cities in the Europe has a rural population of more than 10 million. The related transportation agencies in Istanbul continuously collect data through [...]

Abstract

Modeling vehicle delay has been an interesting subject for traffic engineers and urban planners. Determination of vehicle delay is a complex task and the delay is influenced by many variables that have uncertainties and vagueness, especially for non-uniform or over-saturated conditions. [...]

Abstract

n 80 V bipolar lead-acid battery was constructed and tested using hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) drive cycles. Drive cycles with a peak power of 6.7 kW, equal to 1/5 of the total power profile required for the HEV studied, were run successfully. Model calculations showed that the 80 [...]

Abstract

Transport energy modeling is a subject of current interest among transport engineers and scientists concerned with problems of sustainable transport. Transport energy planning is not possible without a reasonable knowledge of past and present energy consumption and likely future demands. [...]

Abstract

Does consideration of average speed distributions on roads-as compared to single mean speed-lead to different results in emission modelling of large road networks? To address this question, a post-processing method is developed to predict mean speed distributions using available traffic [...]

Abstract

The transport of students presents important challenges in the case of the city of Bogota, where an important cluster of schools is located in one zone, but there is only one road connecting these schools to residential zones. Thus, traffic congestion is high, generating long travel [...]

Abstract

Ths skid resistance of the road surface is one of the parameters that influence the active vehicle safety and consequently the traffic safety. Up till now, in the Netherlands skid resistance has been evaluated by means of of a statistical relation between the skid resistance value [...]
