It becomes even more difficult when the signal links are congested with long queues because under such situations the queue length cannot be estimated using the traditional cumulative input–output curves. In this article, we extend the virtual probe model previously proposed by the authors to estimate arterial travel time with congested links. Specifically, we introduce a new queue length estimation method that can handle long queues. The queue length defined in this article includes both the standing queue, i.e. the motionless stacked vehicles behind the stop line, and the moving queue, i.e. those vehicles joining the discharging traffic after the last vehicle in the standing queue starts to move. The moving queue concept is important for the virtual probe method because moving queue also influences the manoeuvre behaviour of a virtual probe. We show that, using the ‘event’ data (including both time-stamped signal phase changes and vehicle-detector actuations) collected from traffic signal systems, time-dependent queue length (including both standing queue and moving queue) can be derived by examining the changes in an advance detector's occupancy profile within a cycle. The effectiveness of the improved virtual probe model for estimating arterial travel time under congested conditions is demonstrated through a field study at an 11-intersection corridor along France Avenue in Minneapolis, MN.","PeriodicalId":49416,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica","volume":"8 1","pages":"104 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18128600903502298","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59925461","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}

The C-logit model has a simple closed-form analytical probability expression and requires relatively lower calibration efforts and represents a more realistic route choice behaviour compared with the multinomial logit model. This article proposes two versions of the C-logit SUE model that captures the route similarity using different attributes in the commonality factors. The two versions differ with respect to the independence assumption between cost and flow. The corresponding stochastic traffic equilibrium models are called the length-based and congestion-based C-logit SUE models, respectively. To formulate the length-based C-logit SUE model, an equivalent mathematical programming formulation is proposed. For the congestion-based C-logit SUE model, we provide two equivalent variational inequality formulations. To solve the proposed formulations, a new self-adaptive gradient projection algorithm is developed. The proposed formulations and new solution algorithm are tested in two well-known networks. Numerical results demonstrate the validity of the formulations and solution algorithm.","PeriodicalId":49416,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica","volume":"8 1","pages":"17 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18128600903489629","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59925399","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}

In the model, the acceleration/deceleration of ACC vehicles is specified explicitly using microscopic models. The macroscopic multiclass traffic equations are obtained from the proposed gas-kinetic model using the well-known method of moments. The influencing conditions to traffic flow stability with respect to a small perturbation are derived by the linear stability method. The analytical results show that ACC vehicles contribute to the improved stabilisation of traffic flow. The numerical simulations of our developed multiclass macroscopic model on a circular freeway support our analytical findings and indicate that increasing the penetration of ACC vehicles results in more stable traffic flow. Simulations of merging flows at an on-ramp in an open freeway are carried out to describe the effects of the penetration of ACC vehicles on the bottleneck capacity. It is found that around 30% ACC vehicles in traffic flow leads to significantly increased capacity and reduced travel time. We argue that, together with other microscopic models, our model provides a wider picture of the effects of ACC vehicles on traffic flow characteristics.","PeriodicalId":49416,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica","volume":"8 1","pages":"43 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18128600903578843","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59925581","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}

For this problem, the hybrid predictive controller corresponds to the bus dispatcher, who dynamically provides the optimal control actions to the bus system to minimise users’ total travel time (on-vehicle ride time plus waiting time at stops). The HPC framework includes a dynamic objective function and a predictive model of the bus system, written in discrete time, where events are triggered when a bus arrives at a bus stop. Upon these events, the HPC controller makes decisions based on two well-known real-time transit control actions, holding and expressing. Additionally, the uncertain passenger demand is included in the model as a disturbance and then predicted based on both offline and online information of passenger behaviour. The resulting optimisation problem of the HPC strategy at every event is Np-hard and needs an efficient algorithm to solve it in terms of computation time and accuracy. We chose an ad hoc implementation of a Genetic Algorithm that permits the proper management of the trade-off between these two aspects. For real-time implementation, the design of this HPC strategy considers newly available transport technology such as the availability of automatic passenger counters (APCs) and automatic vehicle location (AVL) devices. Illustrative simulations at 2, 5 and 10 steps ahead are conducted, and promising results showing the advantages of the real-time control schemes are reported and discussed.","PeriodicalId":49416,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica","volume":"8 1","pages":"61 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18128601003615535","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59925590","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}

Constructing new highway systems is unlikely to mitigate this problem since available land is limited. On the other hand, physically increasing the supply of transportation systems would cause increased traffic demand, and consequently, the traffic problems may not be improved or resolved. Therefore, managing traffic requires using Transportation (or Travel) Demand Management (TDM). TDM has been one of the main strategies used to improve traffic problems in major cities around the world. In this study, the level of satisfaction towards the existing TDM strategies for road users in Taipei city is explored. As for the strategies not yet implemented, the level of acceptance is also analysed. Finally, a stated choice experiment is carried out to capture the traveller's choice behaviour under different scenarios of TDM strategies. We apply the nested logit model to analyse the satisfaction and acceptability with executed and unexecuted TDM strategies, compare the similarities and dissimilarities within work, shopping and leisure trips and discuss the relationship between variables. We find that travellers agree that disincentive strategies, also known as ‘Sticks’, could solve the problems of traffic jams, but their acceptance or satisfaction is lower than their feeling of effectiveness of TDM strategies. Besides, shortening the travel time of mass transportation tools is an important factor to increase travellers’ willingness to use them.","PeriodicalId":49416,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica","volume":"7 1","pages":"201 - 228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18128600903421424","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59925298","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}
