Travel time predictions: should one model speeds or travel times?
Purpose Travel time predictions are of importance for individual trip planning as well as for logistics applications. Since travel time and travel speed have a one-one correspondence, the modeller has the choice to model travel times directly or model ...

The differences in travel times of passenger cars, traffic stream, and trucks depend on the area type, temporal factors, reference speed, and traffic condition.

MEASUREMENT OF DELAY USING TRAVEL TIME RELIABILITY STATISTICS IN AN URBAN OUTER CORRIDOR [PDF]
Unexpected delay on freeways is the prime cause of dissatisfaction in road users. Increasing traffic, adverse environmental conditions, accidents, time, season, location and many more factors influence travel time and cause delay.

VARIABILITY OF PARATRANSIT TRAVEL TIMES: THE CASE OF KUMASI, GHANA
While much has been reported about bus travel times and their variability for formal bus services, little is known about travel time variation for paratransit, the dominant means of transportation in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

THIS PAPER UTILIZES THE CONCEPT OF URBAN VELOCITY FIELDS TO DERIVE A RELATIVELY SIMPLE PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING GOOD ESTIMATES OF TRAVEL TIMES BETWEEN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN URBAN AREAS. THE PROCEDURE DOES NOT MAKE USE OF ANY SHORTEST ROUTE ALGORITHMS BASED ON A NETWORK VIEW OF THE URBAN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

If time travel to our location is possible, we do not live in a branching universe [PDF]
This paper argues for the following disjunction: either we do not live in a world with a branching temporal structure, or backwards time travel is nomologically impossible, given the initial state of the universe, or backwards time travel to our space ...

Newton supported the idea of absolute time, unlike Leibniz, for which time is only a relation between events and cannot be expressed independently, a statement in concordance with the relativity of space-time. Eternalism claims that the past and the future exist in a real sense, going to the idea that time is a dimension similar to spatial dimensions,

Modelling travel time uncertainty in urban networks based on floating taxi data
The prediction of the uncertainty of route travel time predictions for all possible routes in an urban road network is of importance for example for logistics. Such predictions need to take the essential features of the data set as well as the underlying

We define the time travel paradox in physical terms and prove its existence by constructing an explicit example. We argue further that in theories -- such as general relativity -- where the spacetime geometry is subject to nothing but differential ...

Personal Time and Transmigration Time Travel
Lewis argued that although paradoxes such as the famous Grandfather Paradox can be solved, only a limited set of time travel fiction is consistent.
