Development of Ahs for Traffic Congestion in Sag Sections
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors have been engaged in research and development of “AHS for smoother traffic” as countermeasures utilizing Advanced cruise-assist Highway System. As part of this work, they have reviewed a “Service to adjust lane utilization rates” which aims at reducing congestion, adjusting the balance of lane utilization by providing drivers with appropriate information in sag sections just before congestion occurs. This paper presents the results of a study performed in connection with the development of this service. In this study, vehicle behaviors were analyzed from consecutive video recordings. The paper then proposes some service methods.

متن کاملDynamic Traffic Assignment for Automated Highway Systems: A Two-lane Highway with Speed Constancy
Dynamic traffic assignment through analytical modeling and optimization has been widely accepted by the IVHS R&D community as a promising traffic control tool for understanding and relieving traffic congestion on conventional highways and city streets. Due to the completely controlled nature of AHS traffic, dynamic assignment of AHS traffic is even more promising. One added dimension of complex...
متن کاملFault-Tolerant Control for Automated Highway Systems
Increasing highway traffic congestion and real estate costs that limit the building of new highways has brought about a renewed interest in an Automated Highway System (AHS) where the vehicle steering task (“lateral control”) and the braking/throttle tasks (“longitudinal control”) are taken over by computers to increase the throughput of existing highways. Since safety plays a key role in the d...

متن کاملModeling Traffic at Sags
Freeway capacity decreases at sags due to local changes in car-following behavior. Consequently, sags are often bottlenecks in freeway networks. This article presents a microscopic traffic model that reproduces traffic flow dynamics at sags. The traffic model includes a new car-following model that takes into account the influence of freeway gradient on vehicle acceleration. The face-validity o...
