Evaluation of Freeway High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes and Ramp Metering
Author: Assessing the Benefits and Costs of ITS
Author: David GillenPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402078749
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
The 17 chapters in this book, which evolved from a conference on measuring the contributions of ITS sponsored by the California Department of Transportation in February 2002, examine the costs and benefits of ITS in an economic and business policy context. Section 1 examines the broad theme of how and what ITS contributes to the economy and how one makes a business case for ITS. Section 2 includes three chapters on ITS applications in mass transit. Section 3 explores ITS applications in the automobile/highway system. Section 4 considers integrative issues including how ITS is perceived and how it can be positioned to improve surface transportation. This volume will be especially useful to researchers and policy makers working in transportation, transportation engineering, and the economic analysis of transportation systems.

Ramp Metering Algorithms and Approaches for Texas

Book Description
The primary objective of this project was to compare ramp metering algorithms and develop guidelines for improving ramp metering operations in Texas. As part of this research project, researchers collected data at several sites in Houston, Texas. Data analysis showed that many congested freeways are facing heavy ramp demand, and require significant changes in existing ramp metering operations if ramp metering continues to be used as part of freeway traffic management. Furthermore, researchers used computer simulation to compare the effectiveness of ALINEA with queue flush with the existing strategy of metering at the maximum rate with queue flushing. Researchers found that ALINEA does not provide any benefits when queue flushing is permitted. Under heavy demand conditions such as those in Houston, the current strategy to meter at the fastest rate remains the most beneficial. However, this strategy also provides limited benefits. Finally, researchers developed guidelines and recommendations for current and future ramp metering operations in Texas. This report documents the research results.
Advances in Dynamic Network Modeling in Complex Transportation Systems

Book Description
This edited book focuses on recent developments in Dynamic Network Modeling, including aspects of route guidance and traffic control as they relate to transportation systems and other complex infrastructure networks. Dynamic Network Modeling is generally understood to be the mathematical modeling of time-varying vehicular flows on networks in a fashion that is consistent with established traffic flow theory and travel demand theory. Dynamic Network Modeling as a field has grown over the last thirty years, with contributions from various scholars all over the field. The basic problem which many scholars in this area have focused on is related to the analysis and prediction of traffic flows satisfying notions of equilibrium when flows are changing over time. In addition, recent research has also focused on integrating dynamic equilibrium with traffic control and other mechanism designs such as congestion pricing and network design. Recently, advances in sensor deployment, availability of GPS-enabled vehicular data and social media data have rapidly contributed to better understanding and estimating the traffic network states and have contributed to new research problems which advance previous models in dynamic modeling. A recent National Science Foundation workshop on “Dynamic Route Guidance and Traffic Control” was organized in June 2010 at Rutgers University by Prof. Kaan Ozbay, Prof. Satish Ukkusuri , Prof. Hani Nassif, and Professor Pushkin Kachroo. This workshop brought together experts in this area from universities, industry and federal/state agencies to present recent findings in this area. Various topics were presented at the workshop including dynamic traffic assignment, traffic flow modeling, network control, complex systems, mobile sensor deployment, intelligent traffic systems and data collection issues. This book is motivated by the research presented at this workshop and the discussions that followed.
