| Summary: | "TRB's Transportation Research Record (TRR): Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2421 consists of 17 papers that evaluate the accuracy of network-wide traffic states; network partitioning and incident detection using a macroscopic fundamental diagram; the influence of road layout on a network fundamental diagrams; areawide dynamics of pedestrian crowds; and pedestrian walking characteristics through angled corridors. This issue also explores group dynamics in pedestrian crowds; experimental investigation of pedestrian personal space; a mechanism of early-onset breakdown at on-ramp bottlenecks on Shanghai, China expressways; modeling and analysis of merging behavior at expressway on-ramp bottlenecks; and modeling of vehicle interactions during merges in congested weaving sections of freeway ramps. Additionally, this TRR summarizes volume delay functions based on stochastic capacity; the use of probe vehicle data to determine joint probability distributions of vehicle location and speed on an arterial road; real-time prediction of near-future traffic states on freeways; traffic flow predictions; a maximum pressure controller for stabilizing queues in signalized arterial networks; multiscale traffic flow modeling in mixed networks; and a linear programming model for estimating high-resolution freeway traffic states from vehicle identification and location data."--publisher's info. "TRB's Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2422 consists of 16 papers that evaluate congestion propagation and dynamic partitioning with probe data for large-scale systems; network fundamental diagrams using three-dimensional vehicle trajectories; dynamics of an urban network traffic flow during a large-scale evacuation; and the consistency of freeway macroscopic merging models. This issue also examines a clustering approach for assessing the travel time variability of arterials; new generic multiclass kinematic wave traffic flow models; a comprehensive framework for estimating traffic stream flow rates past moving bottlenecks; and reliability models in freeway networks. Additionally, this Transportation Research Record (TRR) explores estimations of queue length at signalized intersections; analytical derivation of capacity at diverging junctions; use of travel time data to generate aggregated measures of traffic; and jam occupancy and other lingering problems with empirical fundamental relationships. Finally, this TRR reviews automated driving, traffic flow efficiency, and human factors; comprehensive approaches for the sensitivity analysis of high-dimensional and computationally expensive traffic simulation models; calibration, estimation, and sampling issues of car-following parameters; and vehicle time headways and speeds on rural two-lane, two-way roads."--publisher's info. |
