Chen, Kequan (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Liu, Pan (author), Li, Zhibin (author), Wang, Yuxuan (author)The pre-insertion process called anticipation is an essential component of a lane-changing manoeuvre. There is little empirical research regarding the impact of anticipation. Thus, this paper aims to explore the behaviour of the new follower (NF) in the target lane when it encounters anticipation by using new trajectory datasets. The changing...journal article 2023

Zhao, J. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Wang, M. (author)Microscopic traffic flow models enable predictions of traffic operations, which allows traffic engineers to assess the efficiency and safety effects of roadway designs. Modeling vehicle trajectories inside intersections is challenging because there is an infinite number of possible paths in a two-dimensional space, and drivers can...journal article 2023

Chen, Kequan (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Liu, Pan (author), Li, Zhibin (author), Wang, Yuxuan (author)Lane-changing (LC) in congested traffic has been identified as a trigger for the sudden deceleration behavior of the new follower in the target lane, leading to severe traffic disturbances. Thus, investigating the response of the new follower to an LC maneuver is an important research topic in the literature. To date, numerous efforts have...journal article 2023

Zhao, Jing (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Sun, Jian (author), Ma, Zian (author), Wang, M. (author)Path dispersion (the spatial distribution of vehicular paths) is an important feature of traffic flow inside intersections and differs from traffic flow running along traffic lanes at road segment, especially under conflicting movements. The path dispersion reflects the operational features of traffic flow and is related to driving behaviour,...journal article 2023

Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Traffic jams are caused by a traffic demand that exceeds road capacity. Road capacity, therefore, is an important road feature. This capacity might change as function of time, even for the same road stretch, owing to changing driving behaviors or vehicle characteristics. In this study, we empirically analyzed the changes in road capacity over a...journal article 2022

Li, G. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Accurate short-term traffic forecasting is the cornerstone for Intelligent Transportation Systems. In the past several decades, many models have been proposed to continuously improve the predictive accuracy. A key but unsolved question is whether there is a theoretical bound to the accuracy with which traffic can be predicted and whether that...journal article 2022

Hamdar, Samer Hani (author), Talebpour, Alireza (author), D’sa, Kyla (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Treiber, Martin (author)Pedestrians are among the travelers most vulnerable to collisions that are associated with high fatality and injury rates. The increasing rate of urbanization and mixed land-use construction make walking (along with other non-motorized travel) a predominant transportation mode with a wide variety of behaviors expected. Because of the inherent...journal article 2022

Knoop, V.L. (author)Traffic processes cause several problems in the world. Traffic delay, pollution are some of it. They can be solved with the right road design or traffic management (control) measure. Before implementing these designs of measures, though, their effect could be tested. To this end, knowledge of traffic flow theory is needed.book 2021

(author), Menendez, Monica (author), Axhausen, Kay W. (author)Interactions among different modes or vehicle classes in urban road networks affect the network performance in different and complex ways. Thus, an answer to the question of “how many cars are too many for a city?” is not trivial. However, multi-modal macroscopic fundamental diagrams (MFD) offer a novel opportunity to answer this question. So...journal article 2021

Nagalur Subraveti, H.H.S. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Control measures at merging locations aimed at either the mainline traffic or on-ramp traffic do not lead to a fairness in the distribution of total delay across the two streams. This paper presents a control strategy of combining a lane change control with a ramp metering system at motorway merges. The control strategy presents the opportunity...journal article 2021

Knoop, V.L. (author), Wierbos, M.J. (author), van Boggelen, Otto (author)Traffic flow might be limited by cross-traffic which has priority. A typical example of such a situation is a location where cyclists or pedestrians cross a stream of car traffic. Splitting the cross-traffic into two separate sub-streams (for instance left?right and right?left) can increase the capacity of the main stream. This is because it is...journal article 2021

Soldevila, Ignasi Echaniz (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Traffic engineers rely on microscopic traffic models to design, plan, and operate a wide range of traffic applications. Recently, large data sets, yet incomplete and from small space regions, are becoming available thanks to technology improvements and governmental efforts. With this study we aim to gain new empirical insights into longitudinal...journal article 2021

Knoop, V.L. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Yuan, K. (author), Zwaal, B.A. (author)In het Nederlandse wegverkeer is veel vertraging. Een vermindering van het verkeer zorgt ook voor een vermindering van die vertraging. Dit kan bereikt worden door maatregelen als beprijzing of spitsrechten. Het verkeerssysteem is één samenhangend systeem over grote afstanden. Om de effecten van deze maatregelen op netwerkschaal te beoordelen,...journal article 2021

Klomp, Stefan R. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Taale, Henk (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Freeway on-ramp areas are susceptible to traffic congestion during peak hours. To delay or prevent the onset of congestion, ramp metering can be applied. A Ramp Metering Installation (RMI) controls the inflow from the on-ramp to the main line so that the total flow can be kept just below capacity. Current ramp metering algorithms apply...journal article 2021

Wierbos, M.J. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Bertini, R.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Congestion in bicycle traffic is a daily occurrence at many urban intersections. It is known that a higher density in the queue leads to a higher discharge rate. In theory, higher jam densities than those currently observed in practice are feasible. This leads to our hypothesis that the delay at intersections can be further reduced when cyclists...journal article 2021
