Abstract

In transportation planning, design of intersections is required some concrete decisions. It is mostly related to capacity, safety and economy. In many applications, capacity is considered as the main factor for design purpose and type of intersection is determined regarding the capacity. [...]

Text in English; Abstract: English and Turkish Includes bibliographical references (leaves 48-49) x, 50 leaves On a regular day, almost 200,000 cars use Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge of Istanbul to commute between European and Asian side of the Bosporus. This enormous volume causes the [...]

Abstract

This paper presents the Simulator of Intelligent Transportation Systems (SITS). The SITS is based on a microscopic simulation approach to reproduce real traffic conditions in an urban or non-urban network and considers different type of vehicles, drivers and roads. A dynamical analysis [...]

Abstract

In this paper, we compare two routing scenarios for grooming-capable optical-beared two-layer networks that are capable of meeting the Traffic Engineering (TE) objectives. The first one applies completely dynamic WDM layer that adapts instantly to all traffic changes. The second one [...]

Abstract

Intelligent transport systems are accepted as an integral part of the transport system. They have high potential in reducing the carbon footprint of traffic while improving efficient and safe transport. The calculation of CO"inf"2"/inf" emissions arising from the transport sector [...]

Abstract

Weather conditions are widely acknowledged to contribute to the occurrence of congestion on motorway traffic by influencing both traffic supply and traffic demand. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that explicitly integrates supply and demand effects in predicting [...]

Abstract

Rapid adoption of smartphones and the business success of the Apple App Store have resulted in the rampant growth of mobile applications. Seeking new revenue opportunities from application development has created a gold rush. However, free or very cheap applications constitute a great [...]

Abstract

This study proposes Reinforcement Learning (RL) based algorithm for finding optimum signal timings in Coordinated Signalized Networks (CSN) for fixed set of link flows. For this purpose, MOdified REinforcement Learning algorithm with TRANSYT-7F (MORELTRANS) model is proposed by way [...]

Abstract

Due to recent advanced communication possibilities between traffic infrastructure, vehicles and drivers, the optimization of traffic lights control can be approached in novel ways. At the same time, this may introduce new unexpected dynamics in transportation systems. The authors' [...]

Abstract

In the course of the Telematics implications Programme Transport of the European Commission Fourth Framework Research Programme much attention is devoted to evaluation and demonstration. This report is part of the DACCORD project TR1017, devoted to the development and application [...]
