The Passenger Car Equivalent Factors for Heavy Vehicles on Turbo Roundabouts [PDF]
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019 The presence of heavy and slower vehicles within the traffic stream significantly reduces traffic capacity. This reduction increases with the higher participation of heavy vehicles in the stream, which, compared to passenger cars, move at a lower speed ...

Determining passenger car equivalent (PCEs) for pretimed signalized intersections with severe motorcycle composition using Bayesian linear regression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Pretimed signalized intersection is known as a common source of congestion, especially in urban heterogeneous traffic. Furthermore, the accuracy of saturation flow rate is found to cause efficient and vital capacity estimation, in order to ensure optimal

Estimation of Passenger Car Equivalent Value for Unsignalized Intersections in Yogyakarta
Media Komunikasi Teknik Sipil, 2023 Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) is expected to be very accurate because it is very important in determining the capacity, degree of saturation, and handling of unsignalized intersections. Several methods have been used to estimate the PCE value, but based

A NEW FASTENER TO ENSURE THE RELIABILITY OF A PASSENGER CAR BODY ON A TRAIN FERRY
Acta Polytechnica, 2020 To ensure the strength of the passenger car bodies during transportation on train ferries, it is proposed to mount fastening elements of chain binders on the body bolster beams. The principle of such an element is based on the hydraulic damper operation.

Estimating the Passenger Car Eqaivalent (PCE) for Different Type of Vehicles on the Signalized Intersections [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2013 Drivers in Iraq tend to disregard lane markings and use every available meter of signalized intersections approach width. Thus, actual vehicles queues usually exceed marked lanes. This paper analyzes the effect of this behavior on signalized intersection
