Safety effectiveness of roadway conversion with a two way left turn lane

open access: yesJournal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2018
In urban or suburban areas with a large number of access points, four-lane undivided highways are prone to crashes due to left-turning and through movements in a single lane.

Order parameter model for unstable multilane traffic flow

open access: yes, 2000
We discuss a phenomenological approach to the description of unstable vehicle motion on multilane highways that explains in a simple way the observed sequence of the phase transitions "free flow -> synchronized motion -> jam" as well as the hysteresis in

Implementing Two-lane Highway Simulation Modeling into CORSIM1

open access: yesProcedia - 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

Further Evaluation of the Relationship between Enhanced Consistency Model and Safety of TwoLane Rural Roads in Israel and Germany

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2008
Crashes on two-lane rural highways are over-represented at horizontal curves, and speed inconsistency is a common contributing factor to these crashes. Road Consistency reflects the similarity or lack thereof of vehicle performance along an entire road ...

Optimal lane change motion of intelligent vehicles based on extended adaptive pseudo-spectral method under uncertain vehicle mass

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
Lane change operation is widely used in numerous traffic scenarios; to minimize lane change time and avoid collisions with other vehicles required by intelligent vehicles, an optimal lane change motion is proposed for the shortest time free lane change ...

Single-vehicle data of highway traffic: microscopic description of traffic phases

open access: yes, 2002
We present a detailed analysis of single-vehicle data which sheds some light on the microscopic interaction of the vehicles. Besides the analysis of free flow and synchronized traffic the data sets especially provide information about wide jams which ...
