This study evaluates the expected benefits of using the ALINEA ramp metering algorithm as
a method for real-time safety improvement on an urban freeway. The objective of this …

This paper presents a new approach to the modeling of congested traffic loading events on
long span bridges. Conventional traffic load models are based on weigh-in-motion data of …

Congestion on freeways restrains its ability to provide smooth traffic flow. Normally
congestion occurs when traffic volumes are considerably greater than the link capacity …

Freeway traffic control strategies such as ramp metering and variable speed limits are
gaining importance in relieving freeways congestion. Along with reducing the travel time …

Freeway networks are designed to provide a flexible flow of vehicles and uninterrupted
routes especially in the metropolitan areas where the traffic volumes are considerably high …

On freeways, managed lanes (MLs) have emerged as an effective dynamic traffic
management strategy. MLs have been successfully implemented as an important facility in …

This study was conducted to examine the ability of two ramp metering strategies at reducing
the real-time crash risk along a typical urban freeway. The strategies were tested using a …

Various traffic management strategies have been developed to alleviate the congestion on
freeways. The equity issue has been considered as one of the major challenges for the …

The safety of weaving segments is a concern because of the complicated and intensive
merge, diverge, and weaving maneuvers in a limited space. However, rarely did safety …

The main objective of this paper is to propose a new two-class macroscopic emission model
to describe the pollutant emissions produced by freeway traffic. The innovative aspect of the …
