  • Stochastic Characterization of Highway Capacity and Its Applications

    Creator:
    Dong, Shangjia
    Abstract:
    Highway capacity has traditionally been treated as deterministic. In reality, however, capacity can vary from time to time and location to location due to inclement weather, various driving behavior, traffic incident, bottleneck and workzone. This thesis aims to characterize the stochastic variations of highway capacity, and explore its applications. The...

  • EMD based hybrid models in short term traffic speed forecast

    Creator:
    Liu, Lu
    Abstract:
    Short-term freeway traffic speed prediction is essential to improving mobility and safety. It has been a challenging, yet unresolved issue. Traffic speed prediction can be applied to enhance the intelligent freeway traffic management and control for applications as operational and regulation planning. For example, with more reliable traffic speed prediction,...

  • Roundabout Safety: Econometric and Machine Learning Models and Applications

    Creator:
    Zubaidi, Hamsa AN
    Abstract:
    The rapid growth in the number of roundabouts raises some significant research challenges, especially around safety performance and evaluation in the U.S. Despite the safety advantages that roundabout geometric design brings, crashes still occur. While operationally roundabouts are good at preventing severe crashes, they may lead to more less severe...
