Existing studies rarely combine multiobjective optimization with dynamic adjustment methods. This study introduces an innovative dual-layer framework for traffic signal optimization. The first layer involves multiobjective optimization, addressing critical performance metrics such as delay, the number of stops, and fuel consumption. In the second layer, we propose a method that uses a fuzzy neural network to learn the correspondence between queue lengths and signal timings. This two-tiered approach enables real-time adjustments, achieving dynamic signal optimization. Applying this framework with real traffic flow data to a specific road intersection allows us to determine optimal signal timings dynamically. Extensive simulations using the SUMO software validate the efficacy of our approach in enhancing intersection performance. The timing strategy implemented within this framework leads to a substantial reduction in delay, ranging from 11.1% to 29.0%. The dual-layer framework presented in this study contributes valuable theoretical insights into future research initiatives in this domain.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Transportation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/1260664","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141194598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to put forward an integrated resolving and rescheduling method considering network delay propagation. A tree-based conflict resolution mechanism is first established, with delicate considerations on the strategy’s adaptability under different conflict scenarios. By inputting the scheduled arrival and departure time under different conflict resolution strategies, the timetable optimizing model aims to look for an optimal solution with minimal weighted train delay and average train adjustments under necessary technical and empirical constraints solved by a combined algorithm of Pareto optimality and Nash equilibrium, where the feasible solution space is narrowed in advance by a depth-first pruning algorithm. The performance of this coordinated train rescheduling approach is validated by a typical section disturbance in a regional HSR network administrated by the Shanghai Bureau. The results show that the proposed method can well utilizes timetable buffers and organizes train avoidance. The delay propagation characteristics are also simultaneously estimated based on the indicators of cumulative delay and instantaneous delay, which are established considering the spatio-temporal difference between the scheduled and planned timetables, in order to verify the coordination between resolution strategies and train running delays.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Transportation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/9961840","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141194388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it has become urgent and important to study traffic route guidance strategy on the road network level. The previous traffic route guidance method primarily focused on the congestion on the road segments where incidents occurred, with insufficient attention given to the impact of congestion on the road network level. In this study, a route guidance model with limited overlap is proposed to improve freeway network reliability under traffic incidents. Specifically, in order to explore alternative paths, we conducted a study on the problem of finding k-short paths with limited overlap. The objective is to identify a set of <i>k</i>-paths that are both sufficiently dissimilar and as short as possible. Then, we promptly update the route guidance information using a stochastic dynamic traffic assignment model that aligns with travelers’ path choice psychology. Moreover, we use the reliability of the road network to evaluate the network performance. To illustrate the model, the Jinan freeway network is selected as an experimental study. The effectiveness of this method was validated through SUMO simulations, comparing it with alternative route guidance methods, including Yen’s algorithm, <i>A</i>^∗ algorithm, and ant colony algorithm.

Random forest (RF) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) are used to analyze the effects between driving behavior and driving risk change in both situations without and with IWS. The results show that (1) as driving risk increases, drivers tend to increase the frequency of braking and engage in more comprehensive saccade behaviors.

Many accident victims lose their lives because of the late arrival of the emergency response team (ERT) at the accident site. Moreover, the ERT often lacks crucial visual information about the victims and the condition of the vehicles involved in the accident, leading to a less effective rescue operation. To address these challenges, a new Internet of Things (IoT)-based system is proposed that uses on-vehicle sensors to detect and report the accident to rescue operator without any human involvement. The sensor data are automatically transmitted to a remote server to create a visual representation of the accident vehicles (which existing systems lack), facilitating the situation-based rescue operation.

The proposed system is evaluated in a simulated environment using a remote-controlled car.

An understanding of this influence from multiple perspectives is urgently needed. In this study, we devised a multiscale comparative research framework to explore the spatiotemporal effects of rainfall on taxi travel patterns, aiming to provide a new perspective on the investigation of rainfall’s impact on urban human mobility. More specifically, at the macroscopic scale, we computed taxi travel indicators across the entire study area and used kernel density estimates to observe the spatiotemporal distribution patterns influenced by rainfall. Subsequently, complex traffic networks were constructed by considering urban road intersections as nodes and combined with visualization methods to understand changes in taxi travel patterns visually at the microscopic level. We selected Wuhan City, a typical urban area in southern China with frequent rainfall, as the study area and used meteorological data along with a large volume of taxi spatiotemporal trajectory data for investigation. Results indicated a 4.16% decrease in weekly travel volume due to rainfall, with a 3.96% decrease on workdays and a 4.64% decrease on weekends. However, nighttime rainfall between 19:00 and 22:00 on weekdays increased the demand for taxi travel. Furthermore, the impact of rainfall on weekends exceeded that on workdays, restricting people’s mobility and leisure activities, resulting in reduced travel to recreational tourist spots and commercial pedestrian streets. Rainfall altered residents’ travel preferences to some extent, with more residents choosing taxis during rainy weather, which led to decreased transportation efficiency and increased traffic congestion.
