Implementing Two-lane Highway Simulation Modeling into CORSIM1 [PDF]
Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2011 AbstractWhile urban areas and the corresponding traffic demand continue to grow, rural areas are experiencing significant growth as well. This growth is now resulting in congestion on facilities that previously did not have any. One area that is becoming a concern, particularly in Florida, is rural areas transitioning into a more developed area. Access

Measures of Functional Reliability of Two-Lane Highways [PDF]
Energies, 2021 Rural two-lane highways are the most common road type both in Poland and globally. In terms of kilometres, their length is by far greater than that of motorways and expressways. They are roads of one carriageway for each direction, which makes the overtaking of slower vehicles possible only when there is a gap in the stream of traffic moving from the ...

A merging model for motorway traffic [PDF]
, 2006 Motorway merging has long been regarded as a major source of conflicts and congestion on motorways. Traditional studies of merging behaviour are based on gap acceptance models developed mainly for urban intersections, which tend to oversimplify the very ...

Free-Gap Evaluation for Two-Lane Rural Highways [PDF]
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2011 Studies related to operating speed predicting models' development require vehicles' speed under free-flow conditions to be collected at different sites. Thus, a critical issue is the definition of the gap (or headway) from which the speed of one vehicle is not affected by the speed of the vehicle ahead. In many studies, a 5-s headway was adopted as the

Performance measures on two-lane highways: Survey of practice [PDF]
Research in Transportation Economics, 2018 Abstract Two-lane highways constitute a significant component of the highway system and serve an essential function for the movement of people and goods. The Highway Capacity Manual is primarily used for operational analysis on two lane highways in the U.S. and Canada.

Traffic Delays Estimation in Two-lane Highway Reconstruction
Procedia Computer Science, 2014 AbstractAn increasingly important issue, as congestion levels increase more and more, is that freeways become subject to rebuilding and restructuring when traffic cannot be re-routed. It has already been asserted that traffic simulation provides a better approach to the analysis of freeway reconstruction than the traditional Highway Capacity Manual. In

IATSS Research, 2007 The study has four main objectives: (1) to test the correlation between different infrastructure characteristics and crash-rates, and trends; (2) to develop an Infrastructure Coefficient (IC) that represents the overall infrastructure characteristics of ...

A probabilistic approach to driver assistance for delay reduction at congested highway lane drops
International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2021 This paper proposes an onboard advance warning system based on a probabilistic prediction model that advises vehicles on when to change lanes for an upcoming lane drop.

Traffic analysis of two-lane highways
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering, 2011 The analysis of huge rows of traffic data collected loop detectors we can get a lot of information about the traffic conditions of different highway sections. These equipments are able to measure the vehicle speed, following time and of course the traffic volume in different vehicle types.
