Calibrating the passenger car equivalent on Italian two line highways: a case study
Transport, 2014 The Level Of Service (LOS) of a road infrastructure, a concept introduced for the first time in the Highway Capacity Manual (second edition), is defined as the ‘qualitative measure of traffic conditions and their perception by users’.

Microsimulation-based passenger car equivalents for heavy vehicles driving turbo-roundabouts
Transport, 2016 Due to its geometric design, turbo-roundabouts impose greatest constraints to the vehicular trajectories; by consequence, one can expect a more unfavourable impact of heavy vehicles on the traffic conditions than on other types of roundabouts.

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

Developing Passenger Car Equivalents for Freeways by Microsimulation
Transportation Research Procedia, 2015 AbstractIn this paper a method of estimation of the passenger car equivalents for heavy vehicles on freeway is described. The variation in traffic quality was evaluated basing on a traffic demand characterized by different percentages of heavy vehicles.

Passenger Car Equivalent Value for Commercial Vehicles: A New Approach
Periodica Polytechnica Transportation Engineering, 2021 Within the framework of the present paper an attempt has been made to develop a methodology for the calculation of a Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) factor in order to express the number of commercial vehicles in the equivalent number of passenger cars.

Estimating Road Traffic Capacity
IEEE Access, 2020 This paper proposes a novel passenger car equivalent and capacity estimation methods that determine the effect of deceleration and acceleration performance of heavy goods vehicles on the traffic flow and estimate the capacity to facilitate rescheduling ...
