Estimation of Passenger Car Equivalents at Urban Expressway by Microscopic Headway Method

An Estimation Of Passenger Car Equivalent Of Motorbikes

Much research has been conducted on trying to solve traffic problems and applied successfully in many developed countries where the car is the main transport mode. However, it has not been effective in most developing countries where the motorbike, rather than the car, is the main transport vehicle. This paper estimates the passenger car equivalent of motorbikes under simulation analysis. Simul...

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...

Capacity and Dynamic Passenger Car Unit Estimation for 1 Heterogeneous Traffic Stream of Urban Arterials : a Case Study Of

Passenger 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...

Energy 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...
