The study of traffic flow dynamics and modelling represents a cornerstone of modern transport engineering, integrating theoretical formulations with practical applications to mitigate congestion, ...

Abstract: Outlier traffic flow detection under unplanned disruptions is vital for operational safety and management. Though numerous models have been proposed to effectively detect outlier traffic ...

Abstract: Traffic flow prediction plays a crucial role in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), as it substantially enhances traffic management efficiency, alleviates congestion, and improves road ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In this paper, we propose a simple fully discrete hybrid model for vehicular traffic flow, for which both the macroscopic and the microscopic ...

We extend the classical Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) traffic model allowing different maximal speeds for different vehicles. Then we add a uniform bound on the traffic speed. The result, presented ...

If integrated into adaptive cruise-control systems, a new algorithm could mitigate the type of freeway backup that seems to occur for no reason. Everybody's experienced it: a miserable backup on the ...

Traffic lights that act locally can improve traffic globally, new research suggests. By minimizing congestion, the approach could save money, reduce emissions and perhaps even quash the road rage of ...

Those routinely stuck in urban traffic jams can take heart in the fact that scientists may have found a way to reduce congestion, by rethinking the way traffic lights should operate. Two European ...
