In heterogene...

Median U-turn intersection treatment (MUTIT) has been considered an alternative measure to reduce congestion and traffic conflict at intersection areas. The MUTIT is sometimes difficult to implement in the field because it requires wide median on arterials for U-turn vehicles. The objective of this study is to introduce an unconventional U-turn treatment (UUT) for intersections which requires l...

In this study, a genetic algorithm is applied to obtain the best combination of transportation parameters for vehicle dispatching. The searching mechanism based on genetic algorithm can find several feasible solutions of dispatching parameters to proceed with transportation plan within constrained conditions. Besides, the concept of fuzzy due time is applied to replace that of time window so as...

Motivated by the field sta routing and scheduling problem of an Austrian infrastructure service provider, which involves the planning of subroutes, we study the truck and trailer routing problem (TTRP) [2]. In the TTRP, two types of customers are considered: customers that can be visited by a truck pulling a trailer (denoted as vehicle customers) and customers that can only be visited by a truc...

In a variety of tasks performed in construction sites, coordinated operations of multi-vehicles are foreshadowed to outperform the deployment of a single vehicle in terms of increased capacity and flexibility. This paper presents the application of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm in deriving drive commands, speed and turning, for the vehicles such that they are steered into and ...

In electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) application, accurate information of state-ofcharge (SOC) and capacity of each cell are required for elaborate SOC/capacity estimation algorithm of the battery pack. However, the measurement of the states of all cells using sophisticated algorithms increases the computation time beyond practicality, because the computation time required...

Capacity drop is the critical phenomenon that triggers traffic congestion, while evolution very complex during a capacity drop. This study applied empirical vehicle trajectory data to explore characteristics at tunnel bottleneck section. We first construct analysis model using image processing technology extract high-precision trajectories. then analyze of process area. The results show dynamic...
