Saturated capacities in traffic systems evoke increasing interest in simulations of complex networks serving as laboratory environment for developing management strategies. Especially for urban areas questions concerning overall traffic control have to be considered with regard to their impacts on the whole network. Modeling traffic flow dynamics using cellular automata allows us to run large n...

This paper focuses on modeling of Urban Traffic System using Model Driven Engineering (MDE) and Activity Theory (AT) concept. It highlights the relationship between MDE and A.T. generating a notational framework. This framework is added with the Cartesian Fuzzy set measures and quantifies the uncertainty in modeling Urban Traffic System.

With the rapid progress of China’s urbanization, research on the automatic detection of land-use patterns in Chinese cities is of substantial importance. Deep learning is an effective method to extract image features. To take advantage of the deep-learning method in detecting urban land-use patterns, we applied a transfer-learning-based remote-sensing image approach to extract and classify feat...

The paper presents the design approach, the objectives, the development, the advantages, and some application results of the traffic-responsive urban control (TUC) strategy. Based on a store-and-forward modelling of the urban network traffic and using the linear-quadratic regulator theory, the design of TUC leads to a multivariable regulator for traffic-responsive co-ordinated networkwide signa...

Data-defectives are always occurred during collecting urban traffic flow information due to all kinds of sensors’ failures. To mend the defective urban traffic flow information data, a new approach named SARBF neural network fitting is presented. It combines analysis based on spatial autocorrelation and RBF neural network fitting method. The complete data is determined to mend the defective dat...

The paper describes an optimization procedure to synchronize traffic signals along an urban road artery. The solution procedure applies first a genetic algorithm and then a hill climbing algorithm for local adjustments. The fitness function is evaluated by means of a traffic model that simulates platoon progression along the links, their combination and possible queuing at nodes. The potential ...

Urban and road planners must take right decisions related to urban traffic management and controlling noise pollution. Their assessments and resolutions have important consequences on the annoyance of population exposed to road-traffic-noise and controlling other environmental pollutants (e.g. NOx or ultrafine particles emitted by heavy vehicles). One of the key decisions is the selection of wh...
