Duanmu, Zhengliang (author)With the development of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), a promising future for their implementation becomes increasingly apparent. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the effects of AV deployment are not straightforward, particularly when considering scenarios involving AVs from different manufacturers and various levels of automation. The...master thesis 2023

Post, Jan (author)As aviation recovers to pre-pandemic levels large amounts of Air Traffic Flow Management delay also return, as the traffic at airports and in airspaces reaches their old levels. These delays have a yearly cost of around 500 million euros in the European Civil Aviation Conference area and are detrimental to the experience of passengers. This...master thesis 2023

Nachev, Nikola (author)Accurate traffic forecasts are a key element in improving the traffic flow of urban cities. An efficient approach to this problem is to use a deep learning Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model. Including weather data in the model can improve prediction accuracy because traffic volumes are sensitive to weather changes. The aim of this study is to...bachelor thesis 2023

Raju, Narayana (author), Arkatkar, Shriniwas (author), Easa, Said (author)This paper presents a framework for monitoring highway traffic-stream measures using quality trajectory data of mixed (heterogeneous) traffic. The framework includes a new measure that reflects the attentiveness of the follower driver, called receptiveness angle, in the vehicle-following process. This measure is integrated with the traditional...journal article 2023

Zhu, X. (author), Hong, Ning (author), He, Fang (author), Lin, Yu (author), Li, L. (author), Fu, Xiaowen (author)The terminal airspace that surrounds an airport is the area with high flight density and complex structure. Aircraft are asked to follow the standard arrival and departure routes in terminal airspace, yet the actual trajectories may deviate due to air traffic control (ATC) instructions, pilots' decisions, surveillance and flying performance...journal article 2023

Bamdad Mehrabani, B.B.M. (author), Erdmann, Jakob (author), Sgambi, Luca (author), Seyedabrishami, Seyedehsan (author), Snelder, M. (author)Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) may exhibit different driving and route choice behaviours compared to Human-Driven Vehicles (HDVs), which can result in a mixed traffic flow with multiple classes of route choice behaviour. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the Multiclass Traffic Assignment Problem (TAP) for mixed traffic flow....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

Wang, Yixia (author), Lin, Shu (author), Wang, Yibing (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Xu, Jungang (author)Currently, with the development of driving technologies, driverless vehicles gradually are becoming more and more available. Therefore, there would be a long period of time during which self-driving vehicles and human-driven vehicles coexist. However, for a mixed platoon, it is hard to control the formation due to the existence of the manual...journal article 2023

Wang, Y. (author), Farah, H. (author), Yu, Rongjie (author), Qiu, Shuhan (author), van Arem, B. (author)Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are being introduced to the traffic system with the promise of improving current traffic status. However, the empirical data also indicate contrary effects with estimated higher crash rate and change of crash patterns. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the driving behavior of AVs and human-driven vehicles ...journal article 2023

Shiomi, Y. (author), Li, G. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author)Traffic dynamics on freeways are stochastic in nature because of errors in perception and operation of drivers as well as the heterogeneity between and within drivers. This stochasticity is often represented in car-following models by a stochastic term, which is assumed to follow a normal distribution for the convenience of mathematical...journal article 2023

Mwine, Musa (author)Traffic congestion and undeveloped public transport define the modus operandi in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. Most people see motorcycles as a solution to escape the growing traffic congestion and poor public transport. This study thus aimed to determine the traffic efficiency and safety effectiveness of introducing motorcycle dedicated...master thesis 2022

Petsch, Carmen (author)Traffic flow predictions are an important component in the rising demand for solutions to cope with the increasing pressure on transportation networks. Especially on a long prediction horizon, traffic flow predictions remain challenging due to the complex, nonlinear nature of traffic flow and the influence of both temporal and external features....master thesis 2022

Storani, Facundo (author), Di Pace, Roberta (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The paper proposes a traffic responsive control framework based on a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach. The framework focuses on a centralized method, which can simultaneously compute the network decision variables (i.e., the green timings at each junction and the offset of the traffic light plans of the network). Furthermore, the...journal article 2022

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

Storm, Pieter Jacob (author), Mandjes, Michel (author), van Arem, B. (author)This paper studies a Gaussian process approximation for a class of stochastic traffic flow models. It can be used to efficiently and accurately evaluate the joint (in the spatial and temporal sense) distribution of vehicle-density distributions in road traffic networks of arbitrary topology. The Gaussian approximation follows, via a scaling...journal article 2022
