  2. 1. A Traffic Simulation Modeling Framework for Rural Highways

    Author : Andreas Tapani; Jan Lundgren; Karl-Lennart Bång; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traffic; Micro; Simulation; Model; Overtaking; Speed; Headway; Rural road; Electronic driving aid; Mathematical model; Road: Traffic theory; Road: Traffic theory; Other technology;

    Abstract : Models based on micro-simulation of traffic flows have proven to be useful tools in the study of various traffic systems. Today, there is a wealth of traffic microsimulation models developed for freeway and urban street networks. The road mileage is however in many countries dominated by rural highways. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mimic: A Microscopic Simulation Model for Rural Road Traffic

    Author : Stig O. Simonsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; computer model; time headway; log normal distribution; Chi-Square test; gap-acceptance; rural road network; car-following; traffic simulation model; alignment; sight distance; Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test; software system; statistics;

    Abstract : The purpose of this dissertation is to outline the theoretical basis of a road traffic simulation model, named Mimic, that constitutes the key elements of a system for estimating road user effects and environmental impacts. The simulation model suggested is a microscopic road traffic simulation model and it is structured to be used for networks of rural roads. READ MORE

  5. 3. Advancing Traffic Safety : An evaluation of speed limits, vehicle-bicycle interactions, and I2V systems

    Author : Ary Pezo Silvano; Haris Koutsopoulos; Haneen Farah; Karl-Lennart Bång; Alfonso Montella; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traffic safety; urban roads; posted speed limits; road characteristics; free-flow speed; time headway; vehicle-bicycle interactions; logit model; yielding probability; cooperative systems and warning messages.; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : Since the introduction of motor vehicles, the number of fatalities and accidents has been a concern for society.The number of fatalities on roads is amongst the most common causes of mortality worldwide (WHO, 2015).Even in industrialized countries the number of fatalities remains unacceptable.

  6. 4. Vehicle-vehicle Interactions at Roundabouts and their Implications for the Entry Capacity - A Methodological Study with Applications to Two-lane Roundabouts

    Author : Ola Hagring; Trafik och väg; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Samhällsvetenskaper; Social sciences; maximum likelihood; headways; critical gaps; driver behaviour; capacity; Gap acceptance; two-lane roundabouts; Technological sciences; Teknik;

    Abstract : Problem: The thesis deals with the capacity of two-lane roundabouts and with vehicle-vehicle interactions there. Method: The interactions and the corresponding capacity are modelled by gap-acceptance theory. READ MORE

  7. 5. Assessment of Robustness in Railway Traffic Timetables

    Author : Emma V. Andersson; Jan Lundgren; Anders Peterson; Johanna Törnquist Krasemann; Thorsten Büker; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A tendency seen for the last decades in many European railway networks is a growing demand for capacity. An increased number of operating trains has led to a delay sensitive system where it is hard to recover from delays, where even relatively small delays are easily propagating to other traffic.
