In India, 486,476 crashes are reported and 137,572 fatalities during 2013. Major share of crashes (28.8% of total crashes) are on National Highways. Considering high importance of NHs in overall road network with respect to its connectivity to state capitals and business centres, and cater to high share of traffic (40%), there is an urgent need to investigate factors contributing to crashes on ...

In this paper, we study a two-lane totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) coupled with random attachment and detachment of particles (Langmuir kinetics) in both lanes under open boundary conditions. Our model can describe the directed motion of molecular motors, attachment and detachment of motors, and free inter-lane transition of motors between filaments. In this paper, we focus ...

At some intersections, excessive queue lengths may spill out of the left-turn bay and block the through lanes, jeopardizing level of service for the entire intersection. One of the most effective plans recently presented by the researchers is the "Contraflow left-turn lane" (CLL) In this method, left-turn vehicles will use the nearest lane in the opposite direction in addition to the usual left...

Autonomous driver assistance system is a core component for the robust detection and tracking of lane markings on roads and pedestrian detection. The lane detection method is a major component of intelligent transport system. Lane detection helps to estimate the road geometry ahead as well as lateral position of vehicle. A fast lane detection algorithm is proposed by Hough transform which is fa...

This paper develops output feedback boundary control to mitigate traffic congestion of an unidirectional two-lane freeway segment. The macroscopic dynamics are described by the Aw–Rascle–Zhang (ARZ) model respectively for both fast and slow lanes. density velocity each two lanes governed coupled 2 × nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Lane-changing interactions between l...
