Dynamic lane restrictions on congested arterials

Nikolaos Geroliminis

Buses operating in mixed traffic experience problems with delay and travel time variability in peak periods. Numerous transit priority measures are found in the literature but most rely on separating buses from other vehicles. Complete separation such as d ...

Comparison of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Techniques for Variable Speed Limit Control

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Different types of variable speed limit (VSL) controllers have been proposed to improve the traffic mobility at highway bottlenecks. However, the benefit of VSL is sometimes deteriorated by the capacity drop phenomenon introduced by the disordered lane cha ...

Prediction of Francis Turbine Prototype Part Load Pressure and Output Power Fluctuations with Hydroelectric Model

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Christian Landry, Sébastien Alligné, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior, Antoine Béguin

The prediction of pressure and output power fluctuations amplitudes on Francis turbine prototype is a challenge for hydro-equipment industry since it is subjected to guarantees to ensure smooth and reliable operation of the hydro units. The European FP7 re ...

Effectiveness of variable speed limits considering commuters' long-term response

Wei Liu

This paper examines the effectiveness of variable speed limits (VSLs) on improving traffic flow efficiency and reducing vehicular emissions in a stylized setting of morning commute where a fixed number of individuals commute from home to work through the f ...

Position accuracy with redundant MEMS IMU for road applications

Jan Skaloud, Bertrand Merminod, Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Philipp Clausen

Traffic problems have mainly resulted from an increase in mobility over the last decades involving an increase in traffic congestion and degradation of environmental conditions. The employment of new systems - namely, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is ...

Self supplied navigation systems: microsimulation-based performance assessment

André-Gilles Dumont

The self-supplied navigation concept is based on the combination of the floating car data technique and the dynamic route guidance service in the same vehicles. The gains obtained by the users of such system are, obviously, closely related to the percentag ...

Elaboration d'un système de navigation auto-alimenté (SNA) et évaluation de ses performances

Alexandre Torday

This research deals with self-supplied navigation systems (SNS), a combination of the technology of gathering travel time using floating car data (FCD) and dynamic route guidance (DRG). Using similar on-board equipment, these two systems can easily be comb ...
