Traffic microsimulation is a commonly used tool in traffic engineering. Given its flexibility and cost-efficiency, it is increasingly used for evaluating traffic safety. In real life traffic, unsafety is in many cases due to human error in driving behaviour. In traffic microsimulations however, driving behaviour is highly dependent on the...

This paper presents a framework for monitoring highway traffic-stream measures using quality trajectory data of mixed (heterogeneous) traffic. The framework includes a new measure that reflects the attentiveness of the follower driver, called receptiveness angle, in the vehicle-following process. This measure is integrated with the traditional...

This study originated with the intent of qualifying traffic string stability from empirical observations. A new responsiveness angle measure was developed to assess driver instincts under vehicle-following conditions. In this measure, the degree of the follower vehicle's attention towards its leader vehicle's actions is quantified. In...

Currently, the dilemma and option zones’ failures are independently used to analyze the intergreen interval at signalized intersections. Therefore, the present research work is initiated to integrate these failures. First, the dilemma and option zones are modelled using the first-order second-moment method. Then, game theory is used to model the...

Using vehicle trajectory datasets developed over a study section for three traffic flow levels, a rectangular hyperbolic relation between time-to-collision and relative speeds in vehicle-following behavior were observed. A new methodology for estimating the probable rear-end collisions in the given traffic stream is developed based on this...

The paper presents the performance analysis of a well-designed truck parking terminal, which is planned for regulating truck traffic over a commercial port. The designed truck parking terminal is modeled using microscopic traffic simulation, which is validated based on the movement of vehicles to the parking bays. After validation, various...

Road safety is one of the major concerns in the ever-growing traffic network. In addressing this, surrogate safety measures play a critical role in identifying collision instincts. Besides the added advantage of quantifying collision instincts in advance, surrogate safety measures have their limitations. For example, in some instances, those...

Automated driving systems, which can take over certain dynamic driving tasks from the driver, are becoming increasingly available in commercial vehicles. One of these automated driving systems widely introduced in commercial vehicles is Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). This system is designed to maintain certain desired driving speeds and time...

The diverse nature of vehicle categories and the resultant lane discipline in mixed (heterogeneous) traffic cause complex spatial interactions. As a result, the driving behavior process in mixed traffic conditions is meaningfully different, where both longitudinal and lateral movements of the vehicles continuously occur. Under prevailing...

The gradual deployment of automated vehicles on the existing road network will lead to a long transition period in which vehicles at different driving automation levels and capabilities will share the road with human driven vehicles, resulting into what is known as mixed traffic. Whether our road infrastructure is ready to safely and efficiently...

The article describes modeling vehicular movements using supervised machine learning algorithms with trajectory data from heterogeneous non-lane-based traffic conditions. The trajectory data on the mid-block road section of around 540 m is used in the study. Supervised machine learning algorithms are employed to model the vehicular positions. A...

Traffic microsimulation has a functional role in understanding the traffic performance on the road network. This study originated with intent to understand traffic microsimulation and its use in modeling connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Initially, the paper focuses on understanding the evolution of traffic microsimulation and on...

There is an increase in the need to understand traffic flow behavior through multiple fronts, especially in developing countries like India, where a high degree of heterogeneity, non-lane-discipline, and non-compliance to traffic rules prevail in the road sections. As a result, it can impact the stability of the traffic stream. Four car...

A turbo roundabout uses spiral circulatory roads for effectively counteracting the problems faced in modern multilane roundabouts. First developed in 1996, the turbo roundabout has an advantage over the conventional roundabout regarding capacity and safety. Turbo roundabouts are still in the developing phase in North America, but even in the...

The present work introduced a framework of developing comprehensive extended vehicular trajectory data under heterogeneous non-lane-based traffic conditions like the NGSIM datasets in the United States. Due to the absence of automation and instrumentation, and even the lack of sensor deployment on roads in developing economies like India, it...

This paper proposes a novel approach for examining rear-end collisions between successive vehicles in a traffic stream. In this approach, a new safety measure of the follower driver's attentiveness is proposed, referred to herein as instantaneous heeding time (IHT), reflecting the subject follower's heeding nature concerning its leader. A safety...

The present research aims to understand the safety over the midblock road sections and proposes a safety framework using the conventional Time to Collision (TTC) measure. In the present work, the safety framework underlines a supporting structure connecting the actions of the surrounding vehicles and assesses the collisions changes for a given...

This study aims to model traffic flow under weak lane based heterogonous (mixed) traffic conditions. Unlike homogeneous traffic, when a follower (subject) vehicle in mixed traffic moves closer to its leader vehicle, it tends to adjust its longitudinal movement or change its lane and acts discretely. Due to this phenomenon, traffic flow modeling...
