Abstract:

Motorway’s personnel tasks management and incidents monitoring, and response are critical processes that contribute to the motorway’s orderly and smooth operation. Existing management practices utilize SCADA technologies that control motorway actuator systems as well as various means of personnel communications mobile technologies. Nevertheless, contemporary motorways lack a unified incident response solution that tracks resources, sends notification alerts when necessary, and automates incident resolution. This paper presents a new holistic and unified management and response system called Re

Abstract The paper reports on finds of the invasive species Senecio inaequidens along motorways in Poland and Slovakia. The species was already mentioned in the floras of both countries but until recently there had been no reports from motorways there. In 2015, a large population of Senecio inaequidens was found along the A4 motorway in Poland. In 2013, it was collected along the D2 motorway in Slovakia. Intensive road traffic is probably the main vector of Senecio inaequidens invasion along motorways in Central Europe. Motor vehicles can carry the propagules over long distances. The newly rec

Abstract:

Motorways represent seven per cent of the urban arterial road network in Melbourne yet carry 40 per cent of the urban arterial road travel in terms of vehicle kilometres travelled and this percentage is growing. The number of casualty crashes on metropolitan Melbourne motorways has increased over the decade at a faster rate than on other urban roads in metropolitan Melbourne. Police crash reports more often attribute crash cause to traffic conditions and vehicle interactions rather than infrastructure. As urban motorways are generally built to the highest standards, a new way of looking at mot

Abstract:

Motorways are large infrastructures that alter the environmental resources in a territory, while constituting an important element through which the individual comes into contact with the landscape. Motorways are integrated in the landscape through their layout design and construction, the aesthetic details of minor structures (design and building materials) and the treatment of embankments and landscape planting. In this paper, we test the following hypotheses: motorway elements are related to the perception of landscape quality—from the point of view of the road users—and the aesthetic chara

This paper provides a system dynamic model for reducing the number of motorway accidents due to wrong-way driving. Motorway accidents are often fatal due to high speeds. It is therefore necessary to carry out all the possible countermeasures in order to achieve adequate traffic management. One of the reasons for motorway accidents is driving in the wrong direction. Based on the analysis of the data on motorway accidents caused by driving in the wrong direction and based on the knowledge of individual project elements of junctions and slip roads, this paper will focus on this area.

Abstract:

A motorway is universally defined as a road specifically provided for motor traffic, with dual carriageways separating oncoming traffic, with all intersections grade-separated, and with no access from abutting properties.1 However, these three papers on motorway history will suggest that this definition is not nearly as simple and straightforward as we might previously have assumed. The papers are each significant contributions to our understanding of European motorway development and usefully present the planning and development of motorways from very different perspectives.

These correlations are time-dependent as the dynamics on the network is highly non-stationary. Apart from the conceptual importance, correlations are also indispensable to detect risks of failure in a traffic network. Here, we proceed with revealing

Queue discharge flow is the most frequently observed phenomenon on urban motorways when demand exceeds capacity. Once a queue is formed, congestion arises, and the number of vehicles that can pass from downstream reduces. This reduction phenomenon is defined as the capacity drop and calculated by taking the difference between capacity and discharge flow at a road section. Obviously, this capacity drop exists after an onset of congestion and may increase in relation to weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or fog, which cause longer queues and delays.

Abstract:

In recent years more and more tourist information boards have been put up on German motorways. Little research exists with regard to the effects of these information boards. A qualitative research approach was used and 29 semi-structured interviews were conducted to increase knowledge about the relationships between tourist information boards and related tourism behaviour. A model was developed which integrates the elements perception of tourist motorway signage, its memory effects and tourism decision-making processes. Findings suggest that spontaneous driving off the motorway is rarely found

Abstract:

Abstract The Czech Republic has been developing its motorway network since the 1970s, while efforts to upgrade its railway system from the 1990s have been limited to improvements of existing major lines. Only recently has the government decided to construct new “speed connection” rail lines. This article investigates the possible territorial benefits from the future development of planned motorways and of various speed connection railway options. The modelling is based on Huff’s gravity model that calculates the benefits from improved accessibility, to job and service centres for residents of

Abstract:

The geographical location of Poland and the pursuit of economic growth make it necessary to build a sufficiently equipped and compact network of expressways and motorways. Such investments do not, however, leave the environment unaffected. The work analyzes changes that have occurred in the natural environment under the influence of the construction and operation of Lodz eastern ring road being a section of the A1 motorway commissioned in August 2016. Changes in the pollution of air, soil and acoustic climate are discussed in detail.

Abstract:

With the introduction of tolls some drivers avoid tolled motorways and drive on alternative two lane roads. Drivers usually avoid toll roads due to toll "additional costs". Therefore, this paper is aimed at examining the attitudes of users regarding the avoidance of using toll roads in the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The aim of this paper is to answer the question of what are the reasons of toll avoidance. The survey was conducted on alternative two-lane roads, on the high attractive locations, close to the motorway. The results of the conducted research enable the perception of the p

Abstract:

Rendering at the European Directive 2002/49/EC, all EU members have to draw up a strategic noise map for all agglomerations with more than 250,000 inhabitants and for all major airports, roads and railways. A study of environmental impact assessment on motorway A23 in the stretch between Castelo Branco–Alcains (Portugal), based in the impact of the environmental noise, allowed the modeling the noise variation, which can be useful for establishing mitigation measures. The results show that noise model can be a useful tool for the monitoring noise impact in surrounding of motorways.

Abstract:

Around the world, large-scale bifacial photovoltaics (BPV) modules are increasingly being used to generate clean electricity, given the cost of manufacturing is becoming comparable to conventional monofacial PV modules. BPV, when installed vertically, can still produce high levels of electricity by collecting radiation on the front as well as on the rear side. This paper assessed the renewable energy generation potential of vertical BPV plants along the central reservation of UK motorways. These installations maximize the utility of road space while minimizing land consumption. The feasibility

Abstract:

During the design process of a new mountainous motorways, multiple route schemes are often proposed for a comprehensive design effort. Each route scheme will have its advantages and disadvantages, so it is often difficult to choose a route scheme. Usually the expert decision method is used to screen the route schemes, but this method mainly relies on the personal experience of experts, and it is difficult to measure the criteria, which can lead to the embarrassing situation that different experts do not agree on the choice of routes.In order to optimize the route scheme for the design process

Abstract:

Environmental issues have reached global attention from both political and social perspectives. Many countries and companies around the world are adopting measures to help change current trends. Awareness of decarbonization in the transportation sector has led to an increasing development of energy storage systems in recent years, especially for ground vehicles. Batteries, due to their high efficiency, are one of the most attractive energy storage systems for vehicle propulsion. As for road vehicles, the growing interest in Electric Vehicles (EVs) is motivated by the fact that they reduce loca

Abstract:

The construction of the extensive motorway network by the Nazi regime has often been seen as a textbook example of a thorough motorisation policy. But the motorway construction took place under a transport policy that favoured public railroads at the expense of private road haulage companies. A strict regulation of freight rates prevented road hauliers from competing with railroads and gaining a greater share of the freight market.

Abstract:

Variable Speed Limit (VSL) control systems are widely studied as solutions for improving safety and throughput on urban motorways. Machine learning techniques, specifically Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods, are a promising alternative for setting up VSL since they can learn and react to different traffic situations without knowing the explicit model of the motorway dynamics. However, the efficiency of combined RL-VSL is highly related to the class of the used RL algorithm, and description of the managed motorway section in which the RL-VSL agent sets the appropriate speed limits.

Motorways of the Sea present a practical example of combined and sustainable transport. With respect to the present model of functionality of the transport system in the Republic of Croatia, where the development of the port and of the gravitational transport system is left to each individual port (six independent ports), and where there is no systematic approach to specialization of each port or route, the results of the analysis are not promising. The goal of this research is to explain why the current Motorways of the Sea implementation model is inefficient and unsustainable. The analysis s
