Meulenberg, M.J.A. (author)Due to increasing congestion there is a need for improved traffic control measures. During the Field Operational Test Integrated Management Amsterdam (Praktijkproef Amsterdam (PPA)) several control measures have been tested. One of them is ramp metering. The ramp metering algorithm, ALINEA, has been used with the "Parameterschatter" (Parameter...master thesis 2016

Scholten, F.J.M. (author)Traffic state estimations and predictions are essential parts for dynamic traffic management applications. This thesis consists of two parts: firstly the requirements for application of a traffic prediction tool in a road traffic management center are analysed, and a design is made for a tool to function in non-recurrent conditions and cope with...master thesis 2015

Meijerman, M.J. (author)The number of cars on the road and the need for transportation has increased rapidly during the past decades, leading to an increase of congestion. Traffic congestion and delays lead to high societal costs. Congestion leads to a capacity drop, i.e. the capacity of the road is reduced when congestion sets in. Due to limited financial and physical...master thesis 2015

Buitenhuis, M.S. (author)Congestion on the road is a widely recognized problem. To improve traffic conditions on the road, several methods have been developed over the years. Dynamic traffic management is one of them and has proven to be effective. It aims at making better use of the existing network capacity and at managing traffic flows. In order to further improve...master thesis 2015

Van Kampen, J.J.L. (author)Bad traffic conditions can be improved by regulating traffic demand and network capacity. Dynamic Traffic Management (DTM) systems allocate temporal and spatial utilization of infrastructures and vehicle fleets by means of dynamic signals. By timely response to changing traffic conditions DTM goals, in terms of effective, safe and reliable use...master thesis 2015

Legius, P.J.T. (author)Dit onderzoek is een eerste verkenning geweest naar de mogelijkheden om verkeersregelinstallaties (VRI’s) zodanig aan te passen dat de toestroom van verkeer richting een snelweg gedoseerd wordt. Uit een uitgebreide literatuurstudie is gebleken dat er tot op heden weinig bekend is over de inzet van zulke doserende VRI’s. De initiatieven die er...master thesis 2014

Elsing, T.W.F. (author)The main goal of this research is to find an approach to assure both mobility- and policy goals in densely populated urban areas. Characteristics of these areas are a high amount of roads, a wide range of route choice possibilities and a large degree of entanglement with pedestrian- bicycle and public transport networks. Travel times are largely...master thesis 2013

Dragan, G.A. (author)With the introduction of electronic toll collection the opportunity opened for new concepts in road pricing, such as high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, express toll lanes, truck only lanes, cordon tolling, and mileage-based pricing. Whereas, the historical use of tolling has been to fund high-cost projects, it can now be used to manage congestion...master thesis 2013

Van der Kleij, R.T.J. (author)Traffic Control is a part of Dynamic Traffic Management where traffic management measures are controlled to optimize the capacity of networks. Since September 2011 Traffic Management Scenarios are applied to the A15 highway in the Port of Rotterdam Area. Traffic Management Scenarios are the most advanced Traffic Control methods that are applied...master thesis 2013

Veenstra, M.J. (author)The topic at which this thesis is based on is the effect of traffic measures at the vehicle delay time, VDT. The research focused towards the capacity effect of traffic measures. The effectiveness of traffic management measures is determined by their effect on the VDT. However, the development of the VDT is not singular influenced by the...master thesis 2012

De Jong, D. (author)Recently it has been proposed that the performance of a complete network can be represented graphically using only aggregated data for flow and density. The resulting graph is the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD), which relates the average flow (performance) to the number of vehicles in the network (accumulation). The resulting shape is...master thesis 2012

Kuijvenhoven, J. (author)Today the Dutch cabinet provides in implementing a maximum speed limit of 130 km/h on Dutch motorways as much as possible. As a consequence, research is needed to the circumstances where and when higher speed limits (or maybe a dynamic speed limit) will be acceptable. In other words, what speed limit is the most optimal for a road section taking...master thesis 2012

Soekroella, A.M.G. (author)This thesis deals with separation of freeway traffic using dynamic lane assignment, based on ones destination; either or not to the next downstream exit. At freeway exits a high amount of lane changes lead to capacity reduction. Furthermore, when the flow to the exit exceeds the exit capacity (like at an IKEA on Sundays) a queue will form that...master thesis 2011

Miete, O.M. (author)In hydraulic engineering it is known that for the evaluation of the performance of a system, a probabilistic approach is preferable to a deterministic one. The essence of such a probabilistic approach is that random variability/uncertainty is explicitly taken into account. In this graduation project, this probabilistic way of looking at a system...master thesis 2011

Qian, X. (author)This thesis project is a part of Dutch project PraktijkProef Amsterdam (PPA), in which the coordinated network traffic management in the regional area is analyzed. One of control levels in the project PPA is sub-networks, where the concept of the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) is applied. Unlike a conventional link fundamental diagram, an...master thesis 2009

Li, H. (author)Reliability is becoming a more and more important performance characteristic of road networks and transport services. Travel time reliability was found to be one of the most important factors for route choices of travelers. Drivers often complain that it is the unpredictability of travel time that they dislike most of a journey in a congested...master thesis 2005

Koorn, M.J. (author)Een verkeersregelinstallatie wordt ontworpen voor een bepaald aanbodspatroon in het verkeer. Bij veranderingen in het aanbodspatroon zouden de instellingen van de installatie aangepast moeten worden aan de veranderde verkeerssituatie om te voorkomen dat de wachttijden voor het verkeer grater worden dan strikt noodzakelijk. Eenmaal geplaatst...master thesis 2001
