All curves are related to road sections of 2 or 3 lanes with only low incline and without speed limits because there exists no general speed limit for passenger cars on German motorways, only a recommended speed of 130 km/h (81 mph). The study was sponsored by the Federal Minister of Transport and was to update the curves of earlier investigations which were no longer relevant because of general changes of many parameters of traffic and traffic behaviour.","PeriodicalId":123979,"journal":{"name":"Highway Capacity and Level of Service","volume":"243 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122157555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One possibility for doing this is the simulation of traffic flow. Hence, a theoretical model has been developed, describing the influence of information technologies on driving behaviour. This model has been integrated into a microscopic traffic simulation system. Described in this paper are human driving behaviour with the driver supported by additional information, as well as automatic driving behaviour, with special equipment controlling vehicle movement. Differences in traffic flow between not supported, partially supported and completely supported driving are shown, being a result of preliminary investigations.","PeriodicalId":123979,"journal":{"name":"Highway Capacity and Level of Service","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130324880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various methods have been proposed to account for this capacity reduction. The simplest way is to reduce the effective green time by the amount of green time during which the transit vehicle prevents other vehicles from reaching the intersection. This is complicated by the acceleration/deceleration for the stop, and the overlap of green/amber/red phases in a stop. Representing the effects of transit stops in signal network optimization models is particularly critical. The paper identifies the transit stop interaction problem, discusses its implications, and examines methods for estimating the effects of transit stoppings on intersection capacity and representing these in both fixed-time and real-time signal optimization models.","PeriodicalId":123979,"journal":{"name":"Highway Capacity and Level of Service","volume":"2012 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127407643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Immediate application of no-passing zone markings is expensive and usually results in the need for re-application of the markings within a few days. The lack of no-passing zone markings could produce a hazard to the driving public. The objectives of this study were to evaluate potential safety problems and to recommend traffic volumes at which there is a significant hazard associated with the absence of no-passing markings during a resurfacing project. Analytical models developed by Glennon and Wardrop and the ROADSIM simulation model were used to predict flow characteristics. The operational characteristics associated with levels-of-service were examined to aid the description of speed, passing frequency, passing capacity, platooning and delay.","PeriodicalId":123979,"journal":{"name":"Highway Capacity and Level of Service","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124480304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These measures are not amalgamated into a single yardstick - the users are advised to examine all of the measures, and to determine which are critical for the task at hand. The six-year experience with the Guide has been very good. Nevertheless, modifications to some of the procedures and models would now be appropriate.
