Radial Basis Function Neural Network for Work Zone Capacity and Queue Estimation
An adaptive computational model is presented for estimating the work zone capacity and queue length and delay, taking into account the following factors: number of lanes, number of open lanes, work … [Read more...] about Radial Basis Function Neural Network for Work Zone Capacity and Queue Estimation
Advance Warning of Stopped Traffic on Freeways: Current Practices and Field Studies of Queue Propagation Speeds
A major safety concern on freeways is traffic flowing at normal speed encountering unexpected slow or stopped traffic. Traffic can be queued due to recurrent congestion, work zones, or collisions … [Read more...] about Advance Warning of Stopped Traffic on Freeways: Current Practices and Field Studies of Queue Propagation Speeds
