Abstract

Solving traffic congestion problems in intersections is a complex logistic problem that usually consists in building infrastructures, such as bridges, tunnels, or roundabouts, which represent the costliest solutions. Concerning the case of roundabouts, many parameters influence its [...]

Abstract

Current developments in Car2X communication technology provide the basis for novel driver assistance systems. To assess the impact of such a system on a group of cars approaching a non moving traffic jam, the driver behavior resulting from a system which supports anticipatory driving [...]

Abstract

Micro-simulations for transport planning are becoming increasingly important in traffic simulation, traffic analysis, and traffic forecasting. In the last decades the shift from using typically aggregated data to more detailed, individual based, complex data (e.g. GPS tracking) andthe [...]

Abstract

This paper presents an approach for coupling traffic simulators of different resolutions in order to conduct virtual evaluations of advanced driver assistance systems based on vehicular ad hoc networks that are both large scale and a high fidelity. The emphasis is put on the need [...]

Abstract

A traffic congestion forecasting model (ATOP), developed in the present investigation, is described briefly. Several macroscopic models, based on the solution of the partial differential equation of conservation of vehicles by the finite difference method, were tested using actual [...]

Abstract

International audience; Good, efficient and reliable public transportation systems are of crucial importance for all major cities today. In this paper, we propose a concrete solution to a particular problem: improve the prediction of the bus arrival time at each bus stop station on [...]

Abstract

International audience; In today's modern cities, mobility is of crucial importance, and public transportation is particularly concerned. The main objective is to propose solutions to a given, practical problem, which specifically concerns the bus arrival time at various bus stop [...]

Abstract

the level of traffic congestion rises and the complexity of traffic networks increases, the development of effective transportation strategies becomes the most challenging task for every transport authority. Meanwhile, advancements in computer technology and especially the technique [...]

Abstract

Safety measurement and analysis have been a challenging and well-researched topic in transportation. Conventionally, surrogate safety measures have been used as safety indicators in simulation models for safety assessment, in control formulations for driver assistance systems, and [...]

Abstract

In the next decades, road transport will undergo a deep transformation with the advent of Connected and"br" Automated Vehicles (CAVs), which are about to drastically change the way we commute. CAVs promise to"br" increase productivity and comfort and to facilitate a greater inclusion [...]
