Abstract Routing an emergency response vehicle (ERV) is essential to sustain the society and save people in high risk. ERV must have top priority on highways to pass through without interference with other non‐ERVs. Congested road traffic conditions, however, might not allow for such a priority.

Overview of platooning systems [PDF]
This paper presents an overview of current projects that deal with vehicle platooning. The platooning concept can be defined as a collection of vehicles that travel close together, actively coordinated in formation. Some expected advantages of platooning

Automated Truck Platoon Control [PDF]
This report shows a successful application of 5.9 GHz DSRC with 100 ms update intervals to coordinate the automatic longitudinal control of a platoon of three Class 8 tractor-trailer trucks. The trucks were tested not only in constant-speed cruising conditions, but also through acceleration and deceleration profiles, up and down grades, and in platoon ...

Abstract Accurately assessing weaving area capacity is critical for optimizing traffic management. However, transportation agencies face a persistent challenge: Existing capacity models often inadequately characterize vehicle weaving behaviors and fail to quantify the interactions between influencing factors.

Generalized gap acceptance models for unsignalized intersections [PDF]
This paper contributes to the modeling and analysis of unsignalized intersections. In classical gap acceptance models vehicles on the minor road accept any gap greater than the CRITICAL gap, and reject gaps below this threshold, where the gap is the time

ABSTRACT This article explores the sociohistorical construction of civilian unpreparedness as a public policy issue in Los Angeles, arguing that it emerged not as a neutral response to escalating urban risks, but as a mechanism through which actors negotiated power dynamics amid urban transformations between 1940 and 1980.
