Abstract:
Unnecessary traffic delays and vehicle emissions have adverse effects on quality of life. To solve the traffic congestion problem in the U.S.A., mitigation or elimination of bottlenecks is a top priority. Agencies across the U.S.A. have deployed several congestion mitigation strategies, such as lane and shoulder width reduction, which aim to adding lanes without significantly altering the footprint of the freeway. A limited number of studies have evaluated the operational benefits of lane narrowing. Although the Highway Capacity Manual does account for lane and shoulder widths, the adjustments

In this paper, the use of multimodal transportation systems for Istanbul was reviewed. It was seen that there is a high imbalance towards the use of highway transportation. Especially, the marine and the railroad lines are underutilized and have not developed properly over the years. Due to extensive use of highway transportation, inter-and intra-city traffic experiences extensive congestions, delays, time and monetary losses. One of the bottlenecks of this congestion is at the Bosphorus Straight where there are two long span bridges. Recently, one of the bridges on the strait, Fatih Sultan Me

Abstract:
In the metropolitan region, most congestion or traffic jams are caused by the uneven distribution of traffic flow that creates bottleneck points where the traffic volume exceeds the road capacity. Additionally, unexpected incidents are the next most probable cause of these bottleneck regions. Moreover, most drivers are driving based on their empirical experience without awareness of real-time traffic situations. This unintelligent traffic behavior can make the congestion problem worse. Prediction based route guidance systems show great improvements in solving the inefficient diversion strategy

Abstract:
Merge junctions are the key elements in the freeway system, as they are likely to function as bottlenecks. Investigations into breakdown occurrence at ramp junctions have demonstrated that when the groups of several vehicles following each other enter the freeway from the ramp, they are expected to create ‘turbulence’ resulting from lane changes, decelerations of vehicles on the mainline and inevitably by the cars merging from the on-ramp. This turbulence can lead to breakdown when the level of mainline demand is adequately high. In other words, the impact of a ramp vehicle on capacity is high

Abstract:
On the basis of an empirical study of congestion occurring at a freeway bottleneck, it is shown that the congested regime can exist under a large variation of the discharge flow rate downstream of the bottleneck. This variation can be from about 1,600 to 1,700 vehicles/h to 2,600 to 2,700 vehicles/h per lane. A criticism of the application of queuing theories for the description of traffic pattern features is given. An explanation is given of the features of a congested regime on the basis of the recently discovered properties of synchronized flow as a new traffic phase.

Abstract:
Around large urban areas, daily recurrent congestion in the form of queueing at bottlenecks is nowadays a normal pattern. Apart from the congestion that directly follows from the capacity deficit at bottlenecks, more and more motorways are affected by a secondary congestion problem due to blocking of motorway exits and entries by long queues that build up upstream of bottlenecks, causing delay to travelers who are not going through the bottleneck. A solution to avoid congestion-induced blockage is the construction of so-called buffer facilities. These are local widenings of the motorway by add

Traffic signalization at the upgraded intersection often uses the same fixed time control plans, even after the installation of a flyover over the intersection.

Abstract:
Lane drops are a common bottleneck source on motorway networks. Congestion sets in upstream of a lane drop as a result of the lane changing activity of merging vehicles. This causes the queue discharge rate at the bottleneck to decrease and drop below the capacity, leading to capacity drop and further congestion. The objective of this study is to minimize the total travel time of the system by controlling lateral flows upstream of the lane drop. This is equivalent to maximizing the exit flows at the bottleneck. An optimization problem is formulated for a 3–2 lane drop section with high inflow.

Technologies such as Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) emerge as efficient solutions. However, a higher level of cooperation among multiple vehicle platoons is needed to improve, effectively, the traffic flow. In this paper, a global solution to merge two platoons is presented. This approach combines: (i) a longitudinal controller based on a feed-back/feed-forward architecture focusing on providing CACC capacities and (ii) h

Abstract:
The 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, along with the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995, mandated that congestion management systems be established in urbanized areas with population of 200,000 or more. The mandate created a need for congestion monitoring. A 1995 informal national survey of transportation agencies by FHWA indicated a need for tools to evaluate the impacts of remedial strategies. Further, some agencies have sponsored research on topics such as congestion thresholds and measurement methods. This paper proposes a model that estimates the probabil

Weaving sections are components of highway networks that introduce a heightened likelihood for bottlenecks and collisions. Automated vehicle technology could address this as it holds considerable promise for transportation mobility and safety improvements. However, the implications of combining automated vehicles (AuVs) with traditional human-driven vehicles (HuVs) in weaving freeway sections have not been quantitatively measured. To address this gap, this paper objectively experimented with bidirectional (i.e., longitudinal and lateral) motion dynamics in a microscopic modeling framework to m

Abstract:
Sag curves, road segments where the gradient changes from downwards to upwards, generally reduce the roadway capacity and cause congestion. This results from a change in longitudinal driving behavior when entering a sag curve as drivers tend to reduce speeds or increase headways as vehicles reach the uphill section. In this research, a control strategy is investigated through manipulating the speed of connected vehicles (CVs) in the upstream of the sag curve to avoid the formation of bottlenecks caused by the change in driver behavior. Traffic flow along a sag curve is simulated using the inte

Station inflow control (SIC) is an important and effective method for reducing recurrent congestion during peak hours in the Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou subway systems. This work proposes a practical and efficient method for establishing a static SIC scheme in normal weekdays for large-scale subway networks. First, a traffic assignment model without capacity constraint is utilized to determine passenger flow distributions on the network. An internal relationship between station inflows and section flows is then constructed. Second, capacity bottlenecks are identified by considering the tr

Usually, during the implementing the traffic safety policy, it is often decided to install a roundabout at an emergency junction. The reason is that roundabouts have long been considered the safest intersections due to the low number of conflict points and features to reduce vehicle speed. Unfortunately, the design of circular junctions is a responsible process, during which it is necessary to take into account not only the indicators of traffic safety but also the functional purpose of the road.

In the 2016 HCM, the PCE values were based on VISSIM simulation output at 1 min intervals along a three-lane, 13 mile (8 mile level and 5 mile graded) section of a roadway. It was determined that the truck PCE for level freeway segments was 2.0. It is hypothesized in
