2. 1. Traffic Simulation Modelling of Rural Roads and Driver Assistance Systems

   Author : Andreas Tapani; Jan Lundgren; Haris N. Koutsopoulos; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Traffic; Micro; Simulation; Model; Car following; Rural road; Driver; Fatigue; Rumble strip; Adaptive cruise control; Active safety system; Safety; Evaluation; Overtaking; Traffic lane; Mathematical model; Thesis; Road: Traffic theory; Road: Traffic theory; TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Microscopic traffic simulation has proven to be a useful tool for analysis of varioustraffic systems. This thesis consider microscopic traffic simulation of rural roads andthe use of traffic simulation for evaluation of driver assistance systems. READ MORE

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. Modelling of Traffic Performance for Swedish Roads and Motorways

   Author : Per Strömgren; Harilaos Koutsopoulos; Nagui Rouphail; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rural highway; Intersection; Capacity; Critical gap; Flare; Micro simulation; Motorway; Ramp; Weaving; Merging; Queue; Delay; Over-saturated; Time-space; Roadwork zone; variable speed limit; harmonization; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of five scientific articles oriented towards capacity. Managing capacity constraints with associated delays is a big issue at new design as well as at trimming existing traffic facilities. READ MORE

6. 4. Analysis of Sensing Systems for the Detection of Pedestrian Impacts

   Author : Sunan Huang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; remote sensing system; pedestrian safety; accident investigation; statistical simulation; contact sensor; FE simulation;

   Abstract : In order to reduce pedestrian casualties in vehicle traffic accidents, safety countermeasures, for example the active hood system and external airbag system, have been proposed to protect pedestrians in vehicle collisions. Such a protection system must consist of a sensing system to detect the pedestrian impact and/or the potential impact. READ MORE

7. 5. Future trends in urban stormwater quality : effects of changes in climate, catchment characteristics and processes and socio-economic factors

   Author : Matthias Borris; Lian Lundy; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

   Abstract : Climate change and progressing urbanization cause numerous environmental concerns, including the impacts on urban drainage. Such impacts were addressed during the last two decades with focus on hydraulic overloading of drainage systems and the means of overload remediation by stormwater management. READ MORE
