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

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.

Effect of Light Duty Vehicle Performance on a Driving Style Metric

TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD, 2672(25), 67–78.

TL;DR: Findings from this study imply that the choice of vehicle does not significantly alter the natural driving style of a driver, and develops a metric for driving style termed “envelope deviation,” which is a distribution of gaps between microscale activity (1 Hz) and fleet average envelope.
