A Parachute-Based Airborne Wind Energy System and Aerodynamic Characteristics

Macroscopic travel time reliability diagrams for freeway networks

Travel time reliability is considered to be one of the key indicators of transport system performance. Knowledge of the mechanisms of travel time unreliability enables the derivation of explanatory models with which travel time reliability can be predicted and utilized in traffic management. Inspired by the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD),...

Travel time reliability during evacuation: The impact of heterogeneous driving behavior

Earlier studies have shown that driving behavior differs strongly in emergency conditions compared with behavior in normal traffic conditions. In this paper, these findings are followed up with an investigation of how these differences in driving behavior affect travel time reliability. In particular, the focus is on the effect of relatively...
