Goni Ros, B. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Sags are freeway sections along which the gradient changes significantly from downwards to upwards. The capacity of sags is considerably lower than the capacity of normal sections. Consequently, sags are often freeway bottlenecks. Recently, several control measures have been proposed to improve traffic flow efficiency at sags. Those measures...conference paper 2014

Joueiai, M. (author), Van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Pouya, N. (author)Tehran is capital of Iran in wide metropolitan area. Large-scale disasters such as earthquakes in such a city cause many casualties and economical damage. One of the most effective risk mitigation actions in such disasters is emergency evacuation. This paper evaluates the dynamics of the vehicular traffic of Tehran under an evacuation condition....conference paper 2014

Varotto, S.F. (author), Hoogendoorn, R.G. (author), Van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Automated driving potentially has a significant impact on traffic flow efficiency. Automated vehicles, which possess cooperative capabilities, are expected to reduce congestion levels for instance by increasing road capacity, by anticipating traffic conditions further downstream and also by accelerating the clearance of congestion. However, the...conference paper 2014

Bellsolà Olba, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vellinga, T. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Port capacity from a traffic perspective has yet to be defined, but its measurement should allow the assessment of port infrastructures and the identification of their main constraints or bottlenecks. In this paper, we will present a review of link and network capacity definitions for different domains and new definitions for ports are...conference paper 2014

Shu, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Ligteringen, H. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)To predict vessel traffic operations and improve safety and capacity in ports and inland waterways, a new maritime traffic model is developed. In this model, vessel behavior is categorized into a tactical level (route choice) and an operational level (the dynamics of the vessel behavior). This new maritime traffic model comprises two parts: the...conference paper 2014

Zhou, Y. (author), Weng, J. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Vellinga, T. (author)Along with the development of the civil seaplane industry in China and all around the world, the number of seaplane piers in port areas will increase. As a consequence, the port traffic will not only increase, it will also become more heterogeneous, consisting of ships and seaplanes. This paper presents a simulation model to describe this mixed...conference paper 2014

Brederode, L.J.N. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)A matrix estimation method using the semi dynamic assignment model STAQ is developed exploiting its methodological advantages over full DTA models. The matrix estimation problem is formulated as a bi-level problem and is solved on the node level taking flow metering into account. In the lower level the method uses marginal simulation of the node...conference paper 2014

Klunder, G.A. (author), Taale, H. (author), Kester, L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)This paper introduces a topic which is of growing interest in the traffic control and management community, namely the relation between traffic data quality and the efficiency of traffic management. After some explanatory background and state of the art, it will become clear that no standard approach is available for traffic engineers to...conference paper 2014

Yuan, Y. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Earlier studies have shown how driving behaviour during emergency evacuation is different from that under “normal” conditions. At the same time, most evacuation studies (where the driving performance is explicitly accounted for) were conducted under the assumption of a fully activated emergency environment. However, the transition phase in...conference paper 2014

Han, Y. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)We propose an integrated approach for dynamic route guidance and ramp metering using Linear Quadratic Model Predictive Control (LQMPC). The main objective is to maximize the throughput of the network by guiding traffic flow towards to insufficiently utilized infrastructures. Due to the linear property of the LQMPC, it is fast enough for real...conference paper 2014

Goni Ros, B. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)We present a new control strategy that aims to reduce total delay at sags. The strategy is based on the concept of mainstream traffic flow control. The traffic density at the bottleneck area is regulated in order to keep it slightly below the critical density, hence preventing traffic from breaking down while maximizing outflow. Density is...conference paper 2014

Djukic, T. (author), Van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In previous work, we have explored the idea of dimensionality reduction and approximation of OD demand based on principal component analysis (PCA). In particular, we have shown how we can apply PCA to linearly transform the high dimensional OD matrices into the lower dimensional space without significant loss of accuracy. Next, we have defined a...conference paper 2014
