Abstract Passenger Car Unit (PCU) is a relative weightage factor given to the traffic volume
of individual vehicle category to deal with the heterogeneity in a mixed traffic situation …

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) may significantly change traveler behavior and network
congestion. Empty repositioning trips allow travelers to avoid parking fees or share the …

A new concept to estimate the passenger car unit (PCU) of different types of vehicles under
mixed traffic conditions is presented. It utilizes the area, as opposed to only the length, and …

This paper describes a modeling methodology adopted to simulate the flow of
heterogeneous traffic with vehicles of wide ranging static and dynamic characteristics. The …

The Highway capacity manual (HCM) utilizes passenger car equivalency (PCE) factors to
estimate the effect of heavy vehicles on traffic stream behavior under free-flow conditions …

Trucks have an effect on the quality of traffic flow on freeways. The passenger car
equivalency of a truck represents the number of passenger cars that would have an …

This paper investigates the hypothesis that the effect of heavy vehicles on traffic is greater
during congestion than during undersaturated conditions. A new approach was developed …

With the rapid increase of electric bicycles (E-bikes) in China, the heterogeneous bicycle
traffic flow comprising regular bicycles and E-bikes using shared cycleway creates issues in …

The analysis of real data shows that free-flow traffic on a three-lane freeway obeys specific
lane flow distributions and that the fraction of the total flow in each lane changes with distinct …

The traffic volume and roadway capacity are the important basic inputs required for
planning, analysis, and operation of roadway systems. Expressing traffic volume as number …
