Uncertainty Quantification and Predictability Analysis for Traffic Forecasting at Multiple Scales

Observing, modelling, predicting, and understanding the dynamics of traffic systems on different levels is one of the most critical topics in the transport and planning domain. At the macroscopic scale, traffic congestion is the central problem that impacts all aspects of society. Traffic congestion costs valuable travel time, extra fuel...

Macroscopic Characteristics of Bicycle Traffic Flow: A bird's-eye view of cycling

This dissertation studies the dynamics of bicycle traffic flow. The research focuses on busy situations such as bicycle queues at intersections and congestion upstream of a bottleneck. The cycling movements are analyzed on the aggregated scale in terms of density, speed and flow. Furthermore, cyclists are included in a traffic flow model by...

Lane-specific Traffic Flow Control

Traffic congestion on motorways has become a common phenomenon across the world. Congestion on motorways is a major discomfort to road users and causes many problems such as reducing the capacity of the motorways, increasing travel times and fuel consumption leading to high economic and societal costs. Alleviating congestion and providing better...
