  1. 1. Evaluation of bus priority strategiesin coordinated traffic signal systems

    Author : Johan Wahlstedt; Karl-Lennart Bång; Haris Koutsopoulos; Lars-Göran Mattsson; Kosonen Iisakki; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bus priority; public transport priority; transit priority; PTSP; TSP; traffic signal; traffic signal control; traffic signal control systems; self-optimising signal control; PRIBUSS; SIL simulation; traffic simulation; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : Increasing congestion and environmental concerns have evoked an interest in promoting urban Public Transport (PT) the last decades. In 2012 the City of Stockholm adopted an “Urban mobility strategy” stating that public transport, cycling and walking should be prioritised over cars in central Stockholm. READ MORE

  2. 2. Impacts of Traffic Signal Control Strategies

    Author : Azhar Al-Mudhaffar; Karl-Lennart Bång; Nagui M. Rouphail; KTH; []
    Keywords : Driver behavior; Dilemma zone; Incident reduction; Signal control; Lhovra; Spot; Pribuss; Bus priority; Field measurement; Simulation; Calibration; Traffic performance; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Traffic signals are very cost effective tools for urban traffic management in urban areas. The number of intersections in Sweden controlled by traffic signals has increased since the seventies, but efforts to study the traffic performance of the employed strategies are still lacking.

  3. 3. On Robust Distributed Control of Transportation Networks

    Author : Gustav Nilsson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traffic Signal Control; Distributed Control; Routing; Transportation Networks; Network Flows;

    Abstract : With the ever-growing traffic demands, the transportation networks are getting more and more congested. While expanding these networks with more roads is both costly and in many cities not even feasible, the rapid development of new sensing and communication techniques has made it possible to perform control of transportation networks in real-time.

  4. 4. Optimization-based coordination strategies for connected and autonomous vehicles

    Author : Robert Hult; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Model Predictive Control; Optimization; Optimal Control; Connected Automated Vehicles; Intersection Coordination;

    Abstract : Automated vehicles (AV) are expected to reach the consumer market within the next decade. Once AVs become ubiquitous, they could resolve difficult traffic situations through communication-based cooperation. READ MORE

  5. 5. On Threat Assessment and Decision-Making for Avoiding Automotive Vehicle Collisions
