Short-term traffic flow forecasting is an important aspect of the ITS as traffic predication can alleviate congestion, which causes drivers to incur a longer traveling time and economical loses. In addition, traffic congestion increases the pollution and the fuel usage. Thus, it is one of the severe problems in Metropolitan areas. Further, in tunnels the forecasting may help scheduling the vent...

Based on the two-dimension cellular automaton traffic flow model (BML model), a mixed traffic flow model of urban traffic that considering the transit traffic is established in this paper by using theDon't block the box rules. We have investigated the influences of the transit traffic ratio, and found that, in most cases, the urban traffic flow exhibited jam phase. Moreover, focusing on the tra...

This paper proposes the Intersection Simulation System which can dynamically manage the real-time traffic flow for each section from the intersections by referring to the traffic information database. This system consists of the hierarchical 3 layers. The lower layer is the physical layer where the traffic information is acquired on an actual road. The middle layer, which is the core of this sy...

Effects of vehicle-to-vehicle (or/and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, called also V2X communication) on traffic flow, which are relevant for ITS, are numerically studied. To make the study adequate with real measured traffic data, a testbed for wireless vehicle communication based on a microscopic model in the framework of threephase traffic theory is developed and discussed. In this t...

In recent years, the traffic is developing rapidly in China, the transportation is more and more convenient, but the traffic safety problem has become the focus problem in public life. Study of the traffic problem, which is beneficial to strengthening our country citizen's traffic safety consciousness, reduce the number of traffic accidents, so as to promote the development of transportation in...

From single vehicle data a number of new empirical results concerning the density-dependence of the velocity distribution and its moments as well as the characteristics of their temporal fluctuations have been determined. These are utilized for the specification of some fundamental relations of traffic flow and compared with existing traffic theories. 89.40.+k,47.20.-k,47.50.+d,47.55.-t Typeset...

traffic prediction systems can play an essential role in intelligent transportation systems (its). prediction and patterns comprehensibility of traffic characteristic parameters such as average speed, flow, and travel time could be beneficiary both in advanced traveler information systems (atis) and in its traffic control systems. however, due to their complex nonlinear patterns, these systems ...

This paper presents the validation method and its evaluation of the spontaneous braking and lane changing with scope awareness parameter. By using the real traffic flow data, the traffic cellular automaton model that accommodate these two driver behaviors, e.g., spontaneous braking and driver scope awareness has been compared and evaluated. The real traffic flow data have been observed via vide...
