The trend of increasing traffic demand is causing congestion on existing urban roads,
including urban motorways, resulting in a decrease in Level of Service (LoS) and safety, and …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses traffic flow modeling advancements, the issue of
route guidance, and information systems. The specific road and motorway network control …

The impact of variable speed limits (VSL) on aggregate traffic flow behaviour on motorways
is shown to bear similarities to the impact of ramp metering, in particular, when addressing …

When freeway traffic is dense, shock waves may appear. These shock waves result in longer
travel times and in sudden large variations in the speeds of the vehicles, which could lead to …

Variable speed limits (VSLs) displayed on roadside variable message signs (VMSs) have
emerged as a widespread traffic control measure on motorways in many countries, leading …

Recent research has proposed mainstream traffic flow control (MTFC), enabled via variable
speed limits (VSLs), as a novel motorway traffic management tool and has demonstrated its …

The continuously increasing daily traffic congestions on motorway networks around the
world call for innovative control measures that would drastically improve the current traffic …

This paper explores the technical feasibility of five Advanced Driver Assistance System
(ADAS) functions to contribute to road traffic safety, to reach stated European (EU) and …

In response to developing and/or diminishing foggy conditions, the variable speed limit
application in a connected vehicle environment (CV-VSL) can estimate and deliver …

This paper formulates the problem of real-time estimation of traffic state in freeway networks
by means of the particle filtering framework. A particle filter (PF) is developed based on a …
