A stochastic description of traffic flow, called probabilistic traffic flow theory, is developed.
The general master equation is applied to relatively simple models to describe the formation …

The paper introduces a new understanding of freeway capacity. Here capacity is understood
as the traffic volume below which traffic still flows and above which the flow breaks down into …

In this section we give a characterization of freeway traffic problems and briefly discuss the
motivation for the traffic control problem statement in Section 1.2. A full policy analysis is out …

Travel time is widely recognized as an important performance measure for assessing
highway operating conditions. There are two methods for obtaining travel time: direct …

A stochastic concept for highway capacity analysis is presented. The capacity of a highway
facility is regarded as a random variable instead of a constant value. Thus, the stochastic …

Travel time reliability is considered to be one of the key indicators for the performance of
transport systems and is measured in various ways. This paper synthesizes both reliability …

Incidents, defined as unplanned events that temporarily reduce roadway capacity, contribute
significantly to urban freeway congestion. Transportation agencies have developed incident …

This study investigates the mechanism of traffic breakdown and establishes a traffic flow
model that precisely simulates the stochastic and dynamic processes of traffic flow at a …

The capacity of a freeway segment is a critical factor for planning, design, and operational
analysis of freeway facilities. This research aimed to perform a comparison among well …

In the years 2000Z2003, I started out on a journey by getting involved in many transportaY
tion projects at the Tongji University under supervision of Professor Lijun Sun, who was the …
