Comparison of performance between Virtual Controller Interface Device and Controller Interface Device

IET Intelligent Transport Systems, 12(1), 22–30.

author keywords: traffic engineering computing; control engineering computing; user interfaces; telecontrol; intelligent transportation systems; virtual controller interface device; virtual CID; VCID; traffic signal controllers; microsimulation software; National Transportation Communications; ITS Protocol; NTCIP; traffic networks; queue length; travel time; simulation stability; remote control; physical signal control laboratory
TL;DR: A Virtual CID (VCID) is proposed and results show that VCID could provide accurate and reliable simulation results, and has more advantages as it does not depend on any hardware device and is easy to operate. (via Semantic Scholar)

Modeling the Impacts of Traffic Flow Arrival Profiles on Ramp Metering Queues

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 6, 036119811878225.

TL;DR: It is revealed that ramp queue length tends to increase linearly with upstream signal cycle length, and the design of queue storage length for a metered on-ramp hence needs to fully consider the various ramp configurations and upstream signal timing settings. (via Semantic Scholar)

2018 journal article

Queue length estimation for a metered on-ramp using mesoscopic simulation

Transportation Letters, 5, 1–10.

author keywords: Ramp metering; queue length modeling; mesoscopic simulation; demand-to-capacity ratio; queue storage length
TL;DR: A mesoscopic simulation model for queue length estimation under various demand-to-capacity scenarios showed that the queue length modeling method could properly capture the realistic queue profile, and the estimated queue lengths were close to the field observations. (via Semantic Scholar)
