A unified platoon-based mathematical formulation called PAMSCOD is presented to perform arterial (network) traffic signal control while considering multiple travel modes in a vehicle-to-infrastructure communications environment. First, a headway-based platoon recognition algorithm is developed to identify pseudo-platoons given probe vehicles’ online information. It is assumed that passenger veh...

This paper presents the functionality of the Visual Interactive System for Transportation Algorithms (VISTA) that utilizes a mesoscopic/microscopic simulation called RouteSim and a Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) routine to emulate the behavior of individual drivers and how they distribute themselves into the transportation network. The principal output of the model is the path chosen by every...

(December 2004) Wonho Kim, B.S., Chungbuk National University; M.C.P., Seoul National University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Laurence R. Rilett Dr. Amy Epps Martin Bus Signal Priority (BSP), which has been deployed in many cities around the world, is a traffic signal enhancement strategy that facilitates effic...

Kawahara and collaborators analyzed the transits of the candidate disintegrating Mercury-mass planet KIC 12557548b and suggested that the transit depths were correlated with the phase of the stellar rotation. We have carried out a more extensive and comprehensive analysis of the transit depths of KIC 12557548b and confirm that there is indeed a robust, statistically significant signal in the tr...
