Macroscopic Modeling of Managed Lane-Freeway Networks
We propose a macroscopic modeling framework for networks of freeways equipped with managed lanes. Two types of managed lane configuration are considered: full-access, where vehicles can switch between the general purpose (GP) and the managed lanes anywhere; and separated, where such switching is allowed only at certain locations called gates. The proposed framework is based on widely-used first...
متن کاملOn the Nature of Merge: External Merge, Internal Merge, and Parallel Merge
This article argues in favor of a new type of Merge, Parallel Merge, which combines the properties of External Merge and Internal Merge. Parallel Merge creates symmetric, multidominant structures, which become antisymmetric in the course of the derivation. The main empirical goal of the article is to revive a multidominance approach to across-the-board wh-questions and to show that a number of ...
متن کاملCapacity of Freeway Merge Areas with Different On-ramp Traffic Flow
This paper is aimed at investigating the influence of different types of traffic flows on the capacity of freeway merge areas. Based on the classical gap-acceptance model, two calculating models were established specifically considering randomly arriving vehicles and individual difference in driving behaviours. Monte-Carlo simulation was implemented to reproduce the maximum traffic volume on th...
متن کاملDynamic Early Merge and Dynamic Late Merge at Work Zone Lane Closure
Several ITS-based countermeasures are currently being deployed in workzones to enhance both the safety and the mobility of drivers. One of the functions of interest deals with lane management identified in previous studies as dynamic lane merging. The dynamic lane merging, can take two forms; dynamic early merge and dynamic late merge. Previously suggested dynamic lane merging techniques may be...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Dynamic Messaging on Driver Behavior for Late Merge Lane Road Closures
Efforts to improve safety and traffic flow through merge areas on high-volume/high-speed roadways have included early merge and late merge concepts and several studies of the effectiveness of these concepts have been conducted, many using Intelligent Transportation Systems for implementation. The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) planned to employ a system of dynamic message signs (D...
