Design and operation of dedicated lanes for connected and automated vehicles on motorways
A conceptual framework and research agenda
Dedicated Lanes (DLs) have been proposed as a potential scenario for the deployment of Automated and/or Connected Vehicles (C/AVs) on the road network. However, evidence-based knowledge regarding the impacts of different design configurations, utilization policies, and the design

Strategy-Based Driving Behaviour on Freeways
Findings of Test-Drive and On-Line Survey Study
Freeways form an important part of the road network. Drivers’ behavior can be split in longitudinal (acceleration and deceleration) and lateral behavior (lane changing). The combination of these two behaviors on freeways play a key role in traffic operations. This paper tries to

Wat kan verkeersmanagement bijdragen aan de verkeersveiligheid?
Presentatie paper
De verkeersveiligheid in Nederland gaat een ongewenste kant op. Deze verandering was de aanleiding om extra aandacht te besteden aan verkeersveiligheid en alle mogelijke maatregelen om de verkeersveiligheid te verbeteren. Eén van de opties is de inzet van verkeersmanagement. Deze

Granular transport policy
Is cooperation better than optimization?
The present situation in transport policy is that many authorities have a responsibility for a part of the transport system and that each authority has its own goals and priorities. Central steering is only on main policy goals. Public transport and municipal, regional, provincia

Ramp metering in The Netherlands
An overview
Dynamic traffic management is an important part of the Dutch transport policy. All kinds of measures have been implemented and assessed on the motorway network, such as the motorway traffic management system with speed limits and queue tail warning, ramp metering, variable messag

Lane Change Behavior on Freeways
An Online Survey Using Video Clips
Freeways forman important part of the road network. Yet, driving behavior on freeways, in particular lane changes and the relation with the choice of speed, is not well understood. To overcome this, an online survey has been carried out. Drivers were shown video clips, and after

Impact van C-ITS use cases
Verslag challenge, Den Haag, 11 juni 2019
Coöperatieve intelligente transportsystemen (C-ITS) zijn volop in ontwikkeling. Dit kan een grote impact hebben op het Nederlandse wegennet. Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) werkt binnen het programma C-ITS Next aan opschaling en uitrol van kansrijke C-ITS diensten. Hierbij onderzoekt Rijks

Urban networks with ring roads
Two-level, three-player game
The integrated traffic control and traffic assignment problem is studied for a situation with two road authorities. Road authorities try to optimize their own objectives, and the same is done by road users. The result is a two-level, three-player multistage optimization problem w

Van verkeerskundige functies naar eisen aan C-ITS
Discussiepaper
In een groot aantal programma’s en projecten wordt gewerkt aan de verdere ontwikkeling, het testen, de implementatie en acceptatie van C-ITS. Echter, het lijkt er op dat de gemiddelde wegbeheerder hier nauwelijks op is voorbereid, terwijl het voor hem zeker interessant en noodzak

Implementing station-based bike-sharing in strategic transport models
Creating an approach to combine tour-based mode-choice and modelling multimodality
This study researches how station-based bike-sharing can be implemented in strategic transport models. Implementing station-based bike-sharing is a challenging topic, as it requires to combine two modelling techniques. The first is modelling transport tours to make sure that a pe

The impact of regulations for a centralised route guidance system
A simulation study to the effect of a regulated centralised congestion avoiding route guidance system with different penetration rates of automated vehicles on the Milan ring network
This study aims to quantify the impact on the traffic flow performance of different regulation strategies for a centralised route guidance system where road authorities and service providers work together in a coordinated approach. Previous research concentrates on the effect of

Framework for Determining Impacts of Malfunctioning of DTM Systems on Traffic Flow
Development and A Case Study for the Amsterdam Region
Dynamic traffic management (DTM) plays an important role from Dutch policy perspective to prevent road congestion and has been developed from control strategies to services. Five traffic control centers, 22 different DTM systems with 35 functions and over 50,000 DTM components ma

Understanding Drivers' Lane Choice Behavior at Pre-Signalized Intersections
Examining Implications for Efficiency and Applicability of Pre-Signal Use for Regular Traffic
In the face of urbanization and limited space, traffic management grapples with challenges, especially heavy left-turn volumes at signalized intersections. The pre-signal strategy, proposed by Li et al. (2014), emerges as a promising solution. It involves an additional traffic li

Ramp metering: a microscopic control approach
A case study in the Netherlands
In order to reduce congestion numbers on the highways, ramp metering can be used. The currently existing ramp metering control strategies are of a macroscopic nature. This means that the average occupancy on the main lane or average flow values on the main lane determine the temp

Speed limits and their effect on freeway capacity
An investigation of two lane freeway bottlenecks
In this thesis an investigation is performed into the effect of different speed limits on freeway capacity. From literature, much is known about the variety of factors that affect capacity, but the exact effect of the speed limit on capacity is not yet clear. In recent years, sev
