Plate scanning tools to obtain travel times in traffic networks

The management of vehicle travel times has been shown to be fundamental to traffic network analysis. To collect travel time measurement, some methods focus solely on isolated links or highway segments, and where two measurement points, at the beginning and at the end of a section, are deemed sufficient to evaluate users' travel time. However, in many cases, transport studies involve networks in which the problem is more complex. This article takes advantage of the plate scanning technique to propose an algorithm that minimizes the required number of registering devices and their location in order to identify vehicles candidates to compute the travel times of a given set of routes (or subroutes). The merits of the proposed method are explained using simple examples and are illustrated by its application to the real network of Ciudad Real.

Vehicle response-based track geometry assessment using multi-body simulation

The assessment of the geometry of railway tracks is an indispensable requirement for safe rail traffic. Defects which represent a risk for the safety of the train have to be identified and the necessary measures taken. According to current standards, amplitude thresholds are applied to the track geometry parameters measured by recording cars. This geometry-based assessment has proved its value but suffers from the low correlation between the geometry parameters and the vehicle reactions. Experience shows that some defects leading to critical vehicle reactions are underestimated by this approach. The use of vehicle responses in the track geometry assessment process allows identifying critical defects and improving the maintenance operations. This work presents a vehicle response-based assessment method using multi-body simulation. The choice of the relevant operation conditions and the estimation of the simulation uncertainty are outlined. The defects are identified from exceedances of track geometry and vehicle response parameters. They are then classified using clustering methods and the correlation with vehicle response is analysed. The use of vehicle responses allows the detection of critical defects which are not identified from geometry parameters.     

Development of analytical procedure for selection of control measures to reduce congestions at various freeway bottlenecks

Variable speed limit (VSL) and ramp metering (RM) affect freeway traffic operations in different ways and, accordingly, result in different effects on system travel time. The primary objective of this study is to propose an analytical procedure to help determine which control measure should be selected given different freeway bottlenecks and traffic conditions. The bottlenecks considered included an isolated merge bottleneck, a merge bottleneck with a closely spaced upstream off-ramp, and a diverge bottleneck with a closely spaced upstream on-ramp. Two RM and a VSL control strategies were considered, including the ALINEA, ALINEA/Q and feedback based VSL. The maximum achievable improvements in system efficiency by various control measures were calculated and the results were tested using modified cell transmission models. A coordinated control strategy that combined ALINEA/Q and VSL control was also proposed. The effects of VSL and RM control on system travel time at different freeway bottleneck areas were compared to identify the applicable conditions of different control measures. The analytical procedure was proposed for the selection of control measures at different bottlenecks and the ex-ante estimation of control effects were also discussed.     

大型综合客运枢纽送站坪的车辆延误（双语出版）

为了准确评估大型综合客运枢纽送站坪的服务水平,改善其交通秩序,提高管理水平,针对送站坪车辆的常规落客行为和违规行为造成的延误,进行了量化分析研究。在大量调研数据的基础上,提取车辆轨迹,通过虚拟线圈的方法获取车辆的运动参数和交通流信息,基于车辆运行特征和车流波动理论,提出了落客车辆汇入行车道时等待可穿插间隙的延误模型、行车道车辆受穿插车辆影响的延误模型以及违规行为造成的行车道车辆延误模型等,验证结果表明,延误模型计算结果与实测结果近似。针对客运枢纽常见的两车道送站坪的交通特性,将车辆在落客车道的行驶距离、落客时长、速度、加减速度等参数作为自变量,基于高峰期间车辆到达分布推导出了送站坪车辆的平均延误,在此基础上给出了送站坪车辆行程时间的理论推导模型和多元线性回归模型。实例验证结果显示：2个行程时间模型计算结果与实测数据基本吻合,平均误差均为13%,回归模型的拟合优度为0.868;减少模型变量,以车辆在落客车道的行驶距离和落客时长为自变量,拟合优度也达到了0.853,表明这2个变量对车辆在送站坪系统的总延误影响最大,它们的值可以基本反映出车辆在送站坪系统的总延误,研究结果可为仿真模型的构建及通行能力的研究提供理论基础。
