In this paper, we develop a data-assimilation algorithm for a macroscopic model of traffic flow. The algorithm is based on the Discontinuous Galerkin Method and Minimax Estimation, and is applied to a macroscopic model ...

A real-time traffic state estimation algorithm is developed and applied to a freeway. The evolution of the traffic is defined by a second-order macroscopic model which computes, for each section of the freeway, the density, ...

The objective of this paper is compare the common traffic lights (CTL) to three different types of traffic lights with countdown displays (SCD) and assess their effects on road safety and capacity. This comparison is ...

Cell-phones equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) provide new opportunities for location-based services and traffic estimation. When traveling on-board vehicles, these phones can be used to accurately provide ...
