Modeling Framework for Capacity Analysis of Freeway Segments: Application to Ramp Weaves

TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD, 2674(1), 148–159.

By: D. Xu n, N. Rouphail n , B. Aghdashi n, I. Ahmed n  & L. Elefteriadou *

Contributors: D. Xu n, N. Rouphail n , B. Aghdashi n, I. Ahmed n  & L. Elefteriadou *

topics (OpenAlex): Traffic control and management; Traffic and Road Safety; Transportation Planning and Optimization
TL;DR: A new modeling framework for the analysis of freeway segments that distinguishes between congestion effects caused by high v/c ratios from turbulence caused by merging, diverging, and weaving traffic, thus greatly simplifying the model form and its extensibility to other freeway segment types.

Characterizing Lane Changes via Digitized Infrastructure and Low-Cost GPS

TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD, 2673(8), 298–309.

topics (OpenAlex): Traffic and Road Safety; Autonomous Vehicle Technology and Safety; Traffic control and management
TL;DR: Analysis of naturalistic trajectory data revealed that ramp-to-freeway trips had the highest number of discretionary lane changes in excess of 1 lane change/vehicle, and excessive lane change rates were highest between the two middle freeway lanes. (via Semantic Scholar)

Lane Change Rates at Freeway Weaving Sites: Trends in HCM6 and from NGSIM Trajectories

TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD, 2673(5), 627–636.

By: I. Ahmed n , D. Xu n, N. Rouphail n  & A. Karr *

Contributors: I. Ahmed n , D. Xu n, N. Rouphail n  & A. Karr *

topics (OpenAlex): Traffic control and management; Transportation Planning and Optimization; Traffic and Road Safety
TL;DR: Analysis of HCM6 lane change patterns at the NGSIM site revealed a tendency for early merging for freeway to ramp traffic and uniform merging for ramp to freeway traffic over the length of the weave, and a speed analysis showed that a higher frequency of discretionary lane changes yielded lower travel times for drivers executing them.

Application of a Discontinuous Form of Macroscopic Gazis-Herman-Rothery Model to Steady-State Freeway Traffic Stream Observations

TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD, 2672(20), 51–62.

Contributors: I. Ahmed n , B. Williams n  & M. Samandar  n

topics (OpenAlex): Traffic control and management; Transportation Planning and Optimization; Traffic Prediction and Management Techniques
TL;DR: Three constraints justified by the Highway Capacity Manual were applied to fit the model so that the fitted parameters have reasonable and physically interpretable values, and two statistical performance measures verify that the proposed model is preferable to the HCM models both in terms of fit alone and when considering the tradeoff between fit and model complexity.
