Vessel Route Choice Theory and Modeling

Shu, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Ligteringen, H. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

A new maritime traffic model describes vessel traffic in ports and inland waterways better. In this research, vessel behavior is categorized into a tactical level (route choice) and an operational level (dynamics of vessel behavior). This new maritime traffic model comprises two parts. The route choice model resulting in the vessel’s preferred...

The two-dimensional Godunov scheme and what it means for macroscopic pedestrian flow models

Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

An efficient simulation method for two-dimensional continuum pedestrian flow models is introduced. It is a two-dimensional and multi-class extension of the Go-dunov scheme for one-dimensional road traffic flow models introduced in the mid 1990’s. The method can be applied to continuum pedestrian flow models in a wide range of applications from...

Simulating the Port Wet Infrastructure: Review and Assessment

Bellsolà Olba, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vellinga, T. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Since the continuous growth of maritime transportation due to containerization, ports play an increasingly important role in the freight transportation chain. In ports, high vessel flows and implicit higher densities increase the relevance of the non-terminal related operations. A few simulation models have been developed in the recent decades...

Operational model for vessel traffic using optimal control and calibration

Shu, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Ligteringen, H. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Due to the ever-increasing economic globalization, the scale of transportation through ports and waterways has increased sharply. As the capacity of maritime infrastructure in ports and inland waterways is limited, it is important to simulate vessel behavior to balance safety and capacity in restricted waterways. Currently many existing vessel...

Estimating port network traffic capacity

Bellsola Olba, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vellinga, T. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Port capacity is a relevant parameter to estimate the expected performance of a port facility. Many simulation models have been used to predict traffic in ports and waterways, but they do not include provisions for estimating the port’s capacity. The innovative method presented here determines a Port Network Traffic Capacity (PNTC) based on...

Vessel classification method based on vessel behavior in the port of Rotterdam

Zhou, Y. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Vellinga, T. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

AIS (Automatic Identification System) data have proven to be a valuable source to investigate vessel behavior. The analysis of AIS data provides a possibility to recognize vessel behavior patterns in a waterway area. Furthermore, AIS data can be used to classify vessel behavior into several categories. The analysis results would help the port...

Connected variable speed limits control and vehicle acceleration control to resolve moving jams

Wang, M. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Van Arem, B. (author)

The vision of intelligent vehicles traveling in road networks has prompted numerous concepts to control future traffic flow, one of which is the in-vehicle actuation of traffic control signals. The key of this concept is using intelligent vehicles as actuators for traffic control systems, replacing the traditional road-side systems. Under this...

An approach to port network capacity

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...

Vessel route choice model by optimal control and calibration

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...

Heterogeneous port traffic of general ships and seaplanes and its simulation

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...

Breakdown Phenomenon Study in the Bidirectional Pedestrian Flow

Yang, X. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Dong, H. (author)

Pedestrian dynamics has been being a popular research area. In this paper, breakdown probability in the bidirectional flow that includes pedestrians with heterogeneities is investigated. Reaction time appears to have the most pronounced breakdown proba- bility, followed by desired velocity and then body size. The relationship between the start...

The Many Roles of the Relaxation time Parameter in Force based Models of Pedestrian Dynamics

Johansson, F. (author), Duives, D.C. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

In force based models of pedestrian traffic, the relaxation time, ?, is related to the time it takes a pedestrian to adapt its motion to its preferences. An example of this is linear acceleration, but ? is also connected to how the agent adjusts to spatial variations in its preferred velocity, and affects evasive maneuvers. These many roles of ?...

Influence of Group Size and Group Composition on the Adhered Distance Headway

Duives, D.C. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Research into the influence of groups on pedestrian flow dynamics has been limited. Previous research found that group size influences the walking velocity of pedestrians within the group and as such the capacity the pedestrian infrastructure. This paper's aim is to provide quantitative insights into the influence of group size and composition...

Anticipation Behavior Upstream of a Bottleneck

Duives, D.C. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Whether pedestrian movements do or do not follow similar patterns as vehicular traffic while experiencing congestion is not entirely understood. Using data gathered during bottleneck experiments under laboratory conditions, the phenomenon of anticipation before entering congestion is studied. This paper provides proof that the movement behavior...

Extension of Edie's Definitions for Pedestrian Dynamics

Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Daamen, W. (author)

Consistent definitions of important variables in pedestrian flow dynamics are proposed. They are based on the definition of similar variables for road traffic flow from the 1960's by Edie. The definitions are extended to include multi-class flows where pedestrians move in different directions or have different characteristics. The new...
