Unlike most existing studies on off-ramp traffic signal control, this paper focuses on the optimization problem of the signalized intersection connected to freeway on-ramps. Conflicts are often observed between the traffic heading to an onramp and the traffic continuing straight which leads to issues such as intersection overflow, increased delay, and concerns about safety. For studying this pr...

This paper presents a novel lane detection scheme for detecting and tracking various lanes directly from videos in real time. The key contribution of this paper is to propose a new edge labeling scheme for labeling each edge point to different types. Even under different lighting and weather conditions, different lane segments still can be effectively extracted from the labeling result. Only th...

In view of the limited anti-noise of traditional traffic lane edge detection algorithm, the paper put forward to a new traffic lane edge detection algorithm based on traditional mathematical morphology. For solving the problem of uneven road surface caused by illumination and rainy, this paper combine two method of morphological filter and Otsu to segment image and take the improved algorithm t...

Transportation agencies across the nation are continuously evaluating the safety and operation of their rural two-lane highways. The three most common countermeasures are to do nothing, add passing lanes to target sections, or to upgrade to four-lane. The goal of this article is to update the current body of knowledge available to agencies on the process of implementing countermeasures and real...

As traffic demand on road networks steadily increases every year, the need for alleviation of global congestion arises. Our contribution lies in assisting of traffic engineers and policy makers who are faced with the problem of controlling the traffic flows. In this paper, we explore the usefulness of cellular automata to traffic flow modeling. We extend some of the existing CA models to captur...

Passing rate measurements of backward-moving kinematic waves in congestion are applied to quantify two traffic features; a relaxation phenomenon of vehicle lane-changing and impact of lane-changing in traffic streams after the relaxation process is complete. The relaxation phenomenon occurs when either a lane-changer or its immediate follower accepts a short spacing upon insertion and gradually...

Two-way two-lane roads have a significant impact on road transportation infrastructure. Platoon formation is one of the factors that affect quality traffic flow roads. More specifically, creation platoon increases density vehicles and number overtaking maneuvers decreases performance The present study made an effort to investigate effect characteristics Moreover, it strived develop nonlinear re...

In this paper, we proposed a B-Snake based lane detection and tracking algorithm without any cameras’ parameters. Compared with other lane models, the B-Snake based lane model is able to describe a wider range of lane structures since B-Spline can form any arbitrary shape by a set of control points. The problems of detecting both sides of lane markings (or boundaries) have been merged here as t...

Compared with other lane models, the B-snake based lane model is able to describe a wider range of lane structures, since B-spline can form any arbitrary shape by a set of control points. The problems of detecting both sides of lane markings (or boundaries) have been formulated here as the problem of detecting the mid-line...
