Voronoi densities for bicylists: adaptation for finite object size and speed

Density is one of the most relevant variables in a traffic flow description. For objects in 2 dimensions, density can be determined by the space that is allocated to each of the objects. This paper introduces a new way of computing the space available for a bicyclist, accounting for speed and accounting for the non-zero size of a bicycle. This...

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

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...
