Abstract: This paper aims to develop a mathematical model to analyze the passenger waiting time in an intermodal station in which intercity transit system served with feeder buses. Passengers are categorized into two groups, named scheduled and random, respectively. The analytic model is developed for quantifying the relationships of passenger waiting time to reliability of feeder bus services ...

The problem of minor vehicles crossing or merging into the major stream at unsignalized priority-controlled intersections is well-known. Numerous solutions involve various assumptions concerning the major headway distributions, number of major lanes, critical gap distributions, etc. Such cases can be divided into two main groups: intersections with two streams (one major and one minor stream) a...

BY XUAN WANG INTRODUCTION For actuated signal control at intersections with multilane approaches, detectors are normally placed in each lane. Two types of traffic detection schemes can be utilized for vehicle detection associated with multiple detectors: single-channel detection and lane-by-lane detection.1 The current single-channel detection method connects detectors in all lanes on an approa...

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of an in-vehicle collision avoidance warning system (IVCAWS) on driver performance. A driving simulator was driven by 135 licensed drivers. Of these, 120 received alerts from the IVCAWS when their headway to a lead car was less than 2 s, and the other 15 (the control group) received no alerts. Drivers received varied alert interfaces: auditor...
