Impacts of car-following behaviour on traffic flow capacity at sags

Capacity Reductions at Incidents Sites on Motorways

Incidents cause a large part of the delays in road networks. This is caused by a decrease of the capacity at the incident site. A detailed knowledge of the queue discharge rate can improve for instance the traffic prediction and thereby improve delay information or routing advice. Therefore, this study determines the queue discharge rate for...

The Influence of Spillback Modelling when Assessing Consequences of Blockings in a Road Network

Robustness of a network is a main objective for road network managers these days, and has therefore become an important study area for transportation scientists. This article discusses one specific aspect in assessing road network robustness: the consequences of the closure of a link. These spillback effects have been examined in a dedicated...
