Verkeer in Nederland 2015

2013 was nog het jaar van minder files en minder reistijdverlies, wat weer ten dele samenhing met ‘minder economie’. Maar voor 2014 was een kleine kentering voorzien: er werd weer meer verkeer en ook meer congestie opde Nederlandse wegen verwacht. In hoeverre is die voorspelling uitgekomen? En hoe staat het eigenlijk met de verkeersveiligheid en...

Optimal dynamic green time for distributed signal control

Driving behaviour transition during evacuation and its impact on traffic flow operations based on an open-source platform "OTSim"

Investigation of driving behaviour transition during evacuation and its implication for traffic flow operations based on an open-source traffic simulation platform

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...

Integrated network linear-quadratic model predictive control for disturbance on freeways

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...

Improving moving jam detection performance with V2I communication

Lagrangian Multi-Class Traffic State Estimation

Road traffic is important to everybody in the world. People travel and commute everyday. For those who travel by cars (or other types of road vehicles), traffic congestion is a daily experience. One essential goal of traffic researchers is to reduce traffic congestion and to improve the whole traffic system operation and the environment. To...

Fastlane: Traffic flow modeling and multi-class dynamic traffic management

Dynamic Traffic Management (DTM) aims to improve traffic conditions. DTM usually consists of two steps: first the current traffic is estimated, then appropriate control actions are determined based on that estimate. In order to estimate and control the traffic, a suitable traffic flow model that reproduces the properties of traffic well must be...
