Heterogeneous Traffic Flow Modelling with the Lwr Model Using Passenger-car Equivalents
SUMMARY This paper presents an extension of Lighthill, Whitham and Richards' dynamic traffic flow model (LWR) to a number of vehicle classes. Each class will be described by a separate fundamental diagram. When the various diagrams are similar in shape a scaling can be carried out that is related to the passenger-car equivalents. We present both an analytical framework and a numerical computati...
متن کاملPassenger Car Usage for Commuting to Work as Function of Limited Stay at Car Parks
Following the implementation of different transport policy measures, the analysis of experiences in the European cities has led to the conclusion that parking policy measures have the dominant effect on the choice of private car as a mode of transport. This effect is the greatest for the commutes to work, characterized by the longest duration of parking space occupancy. Given the aforementioned...
متن کاملEnergy Chain Analysis of Passenger Car Transport
Transport makes up 20 percent of the World’s energy use; in OECD countries this has exceeded 30 percent. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that the global energy consumption will increase by 2.1 percent annually, a growth rate that is higher than for any other sector. The high energy consumption means that transportation accounts for nearly 30 percent of CO2 emission in OECD count...
متن کاملSignals and Meters at Roundabouts
With the emergence of the modern roundabout as an effective form of traffic control in the United States, more and more information is needed when situations arise in which additional traffic control is required. The signalization and metering of roundabouts can relieve congestion during peak hours of the day as well as possibly provide safer access for pedestrians and cyclists. Although the si...
متن کاملResidual Stresses in Passenger Car Wheels
Knowledge of the residual stress state in wheels resulting from manufacturing and subsequent service loading is useful for several practical reasons. The ability to estimate residual stress levels permits the tuning of manufacturing processes to control the magnitude and distribution of these stresses in new wheels in order to achieve safe performance in service. Similarly, understanding the re...
