Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram for Train Platforms

Daamen, W. (author), van den Heuvel, Jeroen P.A. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

The macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) relates the flow, density and speed of an entire network. So far, the MFD has been mostly applied to cases where pedestrians and vehicles were aiming to reach their destinations as fast as possible. However, pedestrian facilities involve different behaviours. Especially in train stations, travellers...

Calibration and validation for the vessel maneuvering prediction (VMP) model using AIS data of vessel encounters

Shu, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Ligteringen, H. (author), Wang, M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

The Vessel Maneuvering Prediction (VMP) model, which was developed in a previous work with the aim of predicting the interaction between vessels in ports and waterways, is optimized in this paper by considering the relative position and vessel size (length and beam). The calibration is carried out using AIS data of overtaking vessels in the...

A Macroscopic Flow Model for Mixed Traffic using Two-Dimensional Speed Functions

Wierbos, M.J. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hanseler, F.S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Traffic in urban environments often share the same infrastructure and in places with high cyclist volumes, such as in The Netherlands, the roads are used simultaneously by cyclists and cars. This creates a mixed traffic situation in which both modes can be the fastest moving one, depending on the traffic state. In low demand situations, cars...

Evaluating a data-driven approach for choice set identification using GPS bicycle route choice data from Amsterdam

Ton, D. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Specifying the choice set for travel behaviour analysis is a non-trivial task. Its size and composition are known to influence the results of model estimation and prediction. Most studies specify the choice set using choice set generation algorithms. These methods can introduce two types of errors to the specified choice set: false negative ...

Estimating Choice Models to Quantify the Effect of Herding on the Decision to Evacuate: Application of a Serious Gaming Experimental Setup

van den Berg, M. (author), van Nes, R. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Insight into factors influencing the choices people make in case of an evacuation from a natural disaster can help governments and emergency management personnel to manage people in case of such a situation. One of the aspects that influences the choices that people make in such a situation is herding. Since herding has not been quantified,...

Macroscopic traffic state estimation using relative flows from stationary and moving observers

van Erp, P.B.C. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

This article presents a procedure to estimate the macroscopic traffic state in a pre-defined space-time mesh using relative flow data collected by stationary and moving observers. The procedure consist of two consecutive and independent processes: (1) estimate point observations of the cumulative vehicle number in space-time, i.e., N(x, t),...

Driving behaviour at motorway ramps and weaving segments based on empirical trajectory data

van Beinum, A.S. (author), Farah, H. (author), Wegman, F.C.M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

In the vicinity of ramps, drivers make route choices, change lanes and in most cases also adjust their speeds. This can trigger anticipatory behaviour by the surrounding vehicles, which are also reflected in lane changes and/or changes in speed. This phenomenon is called turbulence and is widely recognised by the scientific literature and...

A Hierarchical Control Framework for Coordination of Intersection Signal Timings in All Traffic Regimes

van de Weg, Goof Sterk (author), Vu, Hai L. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

In this paper, we develop a hierarchical approach to optimize the signal timings in an urban traffic network taking into account the different dynamics in all traffic regimes. The proposed hierarchical control framework consists of two layers. The first layer--the network coordination layer--uses a model predictive control strategy based on a...

Monitoring the Number of Pedestrians in an Area: The Applicability of Counting Systems for Density State Estimation

Duives, D.C. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Crowd monitoring systems are more and more used to support crowd management organizations. Currently, counting systems are often used to provide quantitative insights into the pedestrian traffic state, since they are fairly easy to install and the accuracy is reasonably good under normal conditions. However, there are no sensor systems that...

Capacity drop through reaction times in heterogeneous traffic

Calvert, S.C. (author), van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

The capacity drop forms a major reason why the prevention of congestion is targeted by traffic management, as lower capacities are detrimental to traffic throughput. Various reasons describing the dynamics behind the capacity have been described, however one of these, reaction times, has had less explicit attention when modelling on a...

Improving traffic management through consideration of uncertainty and stochastics in traffic flow

Calvert, S.C. (author), Taale, Henk (author), Snelder, M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

In a bid to cost-effectively tackle congestion, traffic management is often seen as a key option to utilise road capacity. Prior to the application of traffic management measures, a-priori analysis allows the effectiveness of measures to be judged and where necessary adapted. However, current approaches do this without considering the effects...

Bicycle Queue Dynamics: Influence of Queue Density and Merging Cyclists on Discharge Rate at an Intersection

Wierbos, M.J. (author), Goni Ros, B. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

In many countries, an increasing number of people are using the bicycle for urban trips. The increased bicycle flow sometimes creates local congestion at intersections and demands better bicycle traffic management. To provide policy<br/>makers with models and advice on how to prevent congestion, an increased understanding of queue dynamics is...

Assessing Traffic Safety of Dutch Weaving Sections: Validation of the Surrogate Safety Assessment Model combined with VISSIM

Oude Vrielink, Ilse (author), Broeren, Patrick (author), Farah, H. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Dutch road designers and safety experts are searching for more quantitative methods to evaluate the safety of a (proposed) weaving section than the traditional methods of expert judgement and use of accident records. An alternative would be to determine safety using VISSIM micro-simulation models in combination with the Surrogate Safety...

Driving assistance systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and automated vehicles can contribute to mitigate traffic congestion, accidents, and levels of emissions. Automated vehicles may increase roadway capacity, improve traffic flow stability, and speed up the outflow from a queue (1). The functionalities of automated systems have been...

Real-time schattingen van voertuigaccumulatie met FCD

In ruwe vorm zijn floating car data rijk en uiterst gedetailleerd. Het punt is alleen dat we om privacyredenen niet met die ruwe data mogen werken – we moeten het doen met geaggregeerde data die door een privacyfilter zijn gehaald. Is daarmee nog enige verkeersmanagement-eer te behalen? Jawel, mits je de FCD slim combineert met bijvoorbeeld...
