  4. 2. Hierarchical Modeling of Road Traffic Networks

    Author : Eugene Merritt; KTH; []
    Keywords : traffic simulation models; calibration and validation; field data collection;

    Abstract : The main objective of the thesis was to develop and applymethodologies for analysis and evaluation of the applicabilityof different types of road traffic simulation models for urbantraffic conditions. For this purpose a number of models ofmacroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic type were applied,calibrated, validated and analyzed using extensive field datacollection to obtain traffic flow, travel time and queue-lengthdata for major road networks in Stockholm and Uppsala.

  5. 3. A methodology for operations-based safety appraisal of two-lane rural highways : Application in Uganda

    Author : Godfrey Mwesige; Harilaos Koutsopoulos; Basil Psarianos; KTH; []
    Keywords : passing zones; passing rate; collision risk; accepted gap; time-to-collision; passing sight distance; two-lane rural highways; Uganda; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : The majority of the road infrastructure in developing countries consists oftwo-lane highways with one lane in each travel direction. Operational efficiency of these highways is derived fromintermittent passing zones where fast vehicles are permitted by design to pass slow vehicles using the opposite traffic lane. READ MORE
