Influence of horizontal alignment elements on operating speed of vehicles on two-lane highways
Earlier studies acknowledged that the design speed does not principally assure consistency in the design of highway geometric elements. Methodologies for estimating operating speeds are limited to specific or local traffic conditions and design standards,

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DOUBLE DEEP Q-NETWORK AND PROXIMAL POLICY OPTIMIZATION FOR LANE-KEEPING IN AUTONOMOUS DRIVING [PDF]
Lane-keeping is a vital function in autonomous driving, important for vehicle safety, stability, and adherence to traffic flow. The intricacy of lane-keeping control resides in balancing precision and responsiveness across varied driving ...

Comparison of free flow speed estimation models [PDF]
Free flow speed (FFS) is the drivers’ desired speed on roadways at low traffic volume and absence of traffic control devices whose determination is a fundamental step in the analysis of two-lane highways.

A Survey of Localization Methods for Autonomous Vehicles in Highway Scenarios
In the context of autonomous vehicles on highways, one of the first and most important tasks is to localize the vehicle on the road. For this purpose, the vehicle needs to be able to take into account the information from several sensors and fuse them ...

Measuring Performance on Two-Lane Highways: Empirical Investigation [PDF]
This paper presents an empirical investigation into several performance measures for operational analysis on two-lane highways. The performance measures investigated are average travel speed, average travel speed to free-flow speed, percent followers, followers flow, followers density, percent impeded, impeded flow, and impeded density.

Evaluation of speed–flow characteristics on two-lane highways with mixed traffic
The HCM (Highway Capacity Manual 2010) classifies two-lane rural highway that passes through developed areas as ‘Class III’ and suggests using Percent Free-Flow Speed (PFFS) as performance measure to define Level Of Service (LOS).

Origin of synchronized traffic flow on highways and its dynamic phase transitions
We study the traffic flow on a highway with ramps through numerical simulations of a hydrodynamic traffic flow model. It is found that the presence of the external vehicle flux through ramps generates a new state of recurring humps (RH).
