Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) systems have the potential to increase traffic
throughput by allowing smaller headway between vehicles and moving vehicles safely in a …

Objective: This study reports current status of knowledge and challenges associated with the
emergency vehicle (police car, fire truck, and ambulance) crashes, with respect to the major …

Multi-vehicle rear-end accidents constitute a substantial portion of the accidents occurring at
signalized intersections. To examine the accident characteristics, this study utilized the 2001 …

This paper presents an analysis of the effect of the geometric incompatibility of light truck
vehicles (LTV)—light-duty trucks, vans, and sport utility vehicles—on drivers' visibility of …

To better understand the characteristics of car–truck heterogeneous traffic flow that is very
common on freeway, a cellular automata-based traffic flow model is proposed for single lane …

Heavy vehicles and passenger cars differ in their maneuverability and acceleration
capabilities. Heavy vehicles thus influence other traffic in a different manner than passenger …

This work investigates the effect of heavy commercial vehicles on the capacity and overall
performance of congested freeway sections. Furthermore, the following behaviors of heavy …

Traffic congestion is growing at a faster rate than can be alleviated solely by additional road
construction. Various Intelligent Transportation Systems technologies aim to increase and …

While the introduction of highly automated vehicles promises lower accident numbers, a
main requirement for wide use of these vehicles will be the acceptance by drivers. In this …

Car-following behavior forms the kernel of traffic microsimulation models and is extensively
studied for similar vehicle types. However, in heterogeneous traffic having a diverse mix of …
