Kamb, B. and LaChapelle, E. 1964: Direct observation of the mechanism of glacier sliding over bedrock
In an age when more is published than can possibly ever be read, and where quality is often measured in terms of rounds fired rather than targets hit, it was refreshing, in preparing this review, to re-read a paper that was not only a seminal contribution to its field, but also a piece of work of genuinely high quality. I first encountered Kamb and LaChapelle’s paper 20 years after it was publi...
متن کاملImproved Estimates of Kinematic Wave Parameters for Circular Channels
The momentum equation in the kinematic wave model is a power-law equation with two parameters. These parameters, which relate the discharge to the flow area, are commonly derived using Manning’s equation. In general, the values of these parameters depend on the flow depth except for some special cross sections. In this paper, improved estimates of the kinematic wave parameters for circular chan...
متن کاملA kinematic wave theory of lane-changing traffic flow
Frequent lane-changes in highway merging, diverging, and weaving areas could disrupt traffic flow and, even worse, lead to accidents. In this paper, we propose a simple model for studying bottleneck effects of lane-changing traffic and aggregate traffic dynamics of a roadway with lane-changing areas. Based on the observation that, when changing its lane, a vehicle affects traffic on both its cu...
متن کاملA kinematic wave theory of multi-commodity network traffic flow
A systematic understanding of traffic dynamics on road networks is crucial for many transportation studies and can help to develop more efficient ramp metering, evacuation, signal control, and other management and control strategies. In this study, we present a theory of multi-commodity network traffic flow based on the Lighthill–Whitham–Richards (LWR) model. In particular, we attempt to analyz...
متن کاملA kinematic wave theory of lane-changing vehicular traffic
Frequent lane-changes in highway merging, diverging, and weaving areas often can disrupt traffic flow and, even worse, lead to accidents. For balanced lane-changing areas, where different lanes share the same traffic conditions, based on the observation that a vehicle has to take two lanes during its lane-changing period, we consider its contribution to traffic density is doubled. That is, ther...
