Variations in Driver Behavior: An Analysis of Car-Following Behavior Heterogeneity as a Function of Road Type and Traffic Condition
Microsimulation modeling is a tool used by practitioners and researchers to predict and evaluate the flow of traffic on real transportation networks. These models are used in practice to inform … [Read more...] about Variations in Driver Behavior: An Analysis of Car-Following Behavior Heterogeneity as a Function of Road Type and Traffic Condition
Micro-Level Analysis on Traffic Flow Parameters at Work-Zone Road Section Using Vehicular Trajectory Data
The research work is carried out to examine microscopic and macroscopic traffic parameters at work zone on high speed urban roads. Due to construction of elevated metro rail project over the study … [Read more...] about Micro-Level Analysis on Traffic Flow Parameters at Work-Zone Road Section Using Vehicular Trajectory Data
Modeling Driver Behavior in Work and Nonwork Zones: Multidimensional Psychophysical Car-Following Framework
A new multidimensional framework for modeling car following on the basis of statistical evaluation of driver behavior in work and nonwork zones is presented. The models developed as part of this … [Read more...] about Modeling Driver Behavior in Work and Nonwork Zones: Multidimensional Psychophysical Car-Following Framework
Capturing Driver Behavior by Measuring Time Gap in Freeway Work Zones
Quantifying the impact that a work zone will have on mobility is currently evaluated in driver models used in traffic microsimulation. It is hypothesized in this paper that the car-following behavior … [Read more...] about Capturing Driver Behavior by Measuring Time Gap in Freeway Work Zones
Analysis of Work Zone Rear-End Crash Risk for Different Vehicle-Following Patterns
This study evaluates rear-end crash risk associated with work zone operations for four different vehicle-following patterns: car—car, car—truck, truck—car and truck—truck. The deceleration rate to … [Read more...] about Analysis of Work Zone Rear-End Crash Risk for Different Vehicle-Following Patterns
