Impact of distracted driving on safety and traffic flow
A comparative numerical study on Freeway weaving area using a multi-class first-order macroscopic model
This study investigates the impeding effect of weaving area on freeway traffic flow based on a multi-class first-order macroscopic model. The model assumes lane-changing movement between neighboring lanes is a function of difference in their density...
The influence of a pedestrian countdown display on pedestrian behavior at signalized pedestrian crossings
Adaptive Mesh Generation for Approximation of Traffic Flow Equations
This paper introduces a mesh generating algorithm for solving the traffic flow equation as a conservation law equation. The idea behind the new method is to use the characteristic curves and moving non-oscillatory finite volume method. In addition...
A macro model with consideration of driver's reaction time and distance
into account the driver’s reaction time and distance is developed using the relationship between the microscopic and macroscopic variables. The analytical results show that the increase of reaction time and distance, probably leads to more unstable traffic...
New Approximation of Traffic Flow Equations
This paper introduces a mesh generating algorithm for solving the traffic flow equation as a
conservation law equation. The idea behind the new method is to use the characteristic curves and
moving non-oscillatory finite volume method...
Adaptive Numerical Simulation of Traffic Flow Density
In this paper, we describe a one-dimensional adaptive moving mesh method and
apply it to two traffic flow models introduced in 2009 by Kurganov and Polizzi. These
models can be written as a scalar conservation law with a global flux...
