This book was released on 2018 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic jams have become one of the key topics in the 21st century and cause immense losses in productivity, increase CO2 emissions and affect driver stress, travel time predictability and increased wear and tear on vehicles. To test possible countermeasures, optimise existing infrastructure or develop new Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), traffic has to be modelled. The inherent complexity which is a result of inter- and intra-driver heterogeneity, macroscopic feedback loops, local interactions, multi-modal transport and many more is tackled with simulations. By representing the (longitudinal) dynamics of individual vehicles (“microsimulation”), high model fidelity can be achieved. By aggregating the resulting trajectories, macroscopic phenomena emerge and can be incorporated to answer a wide range of traffic-related questions. Since human drivers vary in their perception of stimuli, preferences and reaction, randomness is inevitably and circumvents the construction of perfectly accurate models. Which microscopic features are needed and how they should be mathematically represented runs like a central thread through this thesis. First, it develops a systematic classification scheme to identify modelling strategies and evaluate advantages and shortcomings of (partly) discrete microsimulations. Because real-world trajectories are continuous in time and space, representing them discretely leads to artefacts which induces an upper precision boundary for all models operating on this level of discretisation. Such model-independent errors will be measured based on empirical, naturalistic and synthetically generated trajectories. It is also evaluated to which extent driver heterogeneity and randomness may be compensated with discrete components to simplify modelling and increase computational efficiency. Based on the gained insights, a new, integrated microscopic model is developed. The second major theme in this thesis are gridded, discrete road topologies (chequerboards, Manhattan layouts) populated with vehicles “hopping” from one location to the next. An extensive literature review summarise existing approaches and it is discussed how these standardised road networks and extremely simplified dynamics are well-suited as testbed for ITS. Based on identified research gaps a Timed Automata-based particle hopping model is developed. The two main tools to achieve the outlined objectives are literature reviews, data analysis and computer simulations. To construct the classification scheme, existing genealogies and typologies for traffic models and dynamical systems in other scientific disciplines were reviewed. Another approach was taken for conducting the literature review of chequerboard models: starting from the prototypical BML model, the citing sources are surveyed in reverse order, the behaviour of relevant models is synthesized and contradictions and gaps critically analysed. To quantify the model-independent error, datasets are sampled, quantised and discretised over a wide range of step sizes. Making use of naturalistic driving data, synthetically generated trajectories and high-quality experimental observations, the highest achievable errors for (partly) discrete microsimulations is measured. The dataset recorded under experimental conditions with a group of homogeneous drivers is reused to identify to quantify driver heterogeneity and find the maximum achievable correlations between car-following stimuli and reactions. In summary, this thesis shows that randomness and heterogeneity in human drivers is significant and exceeds the model-independent discretisation errors for a wide range of quantisation parameters. This justifies representing trajectory features discretely to increase computational efficiency and improve the modelling process. Based on this proposition two new formulations for simplistic and advanced microsimulations are developed. The former is able to reproduce all macroscopic free-flow to congestion phase transitions while the latter integrates lateral and longitudinal dynamics based on statistical microscopic properties. Both approaches fill gaps identified by a systematic literature review.

Book Traffic Management Simulation Development

Download or read book Traffic Management Simulation Development written by Mohammed Abdul Hadi and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this project is to explore the development of methods and tools for the use of microscopic traffic simulation models to support the traffic management center (TMC) software implementation, operation, and testing on the one hand, and the use of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) data to support the development and calibration of simulation models on the other. The project products include software utilities that use the existing TMC databases and other available information for the preparation and calibration of microscopic simulation tools. In addition, the products include utilities to support testing of the TMC software modules and data archiving processes, as demonstrated by use cases of the tools developed in this study.

Book Modelling and implementation of a microscopic traffic simulation system

Download or read book Modelling and implementation of a microscopic traffic simulation system written by Johannes Brügmann and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2015-11-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents the foundations, the initial state, and the progress made in modelling and implementing a real-world and real-time online microscopic traffic simulation system for highway traffic. To successfully model and implement such a simulation system, this thesis recommends the use of a number of formal methods applied at the right places. As part of the recommendation, this thesis proposes a microscopic traffic simulation system. To explore the feasibility and the potential of the recommended methods, it observes and examines the proposed system from multiple views and under various different aspects. As part of the examination, this thesis provides a (semi-)formal specification, a model implementation, an implementation of a productive system, and the benefits that result from validating such a system. The results and any proper application of them have the potential to increase the reliability and the trustworthiness for any future implementation of the proposed simulation system. The presented results additionally motivate to apply the proposed approach to similar simulation systems. The thesis concludes the presentation of the results with some considerations for future implementations.

Book An Evaluation of Traffic Simulation Models for Supporting ITS Development

Download or read book An Evaluation of Traffic Simulation Models for Supporting ITS Development written by Sharon Adams Boxill and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tools to evaluate networks under information supply are a vital necessity in light of the systems being implemented as part of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) deployment plan. One such tool is the traffic simulation model. This report presents an evaluation of the existing traffic simulation models to identify the models that can be potentially applied in ITS equipped networks. The traffic simulation models are categorized according to type (macroscopic, microscopic or mesoscopic), as well as functionality (highway, signal, integrated). The entire evaluation is conducted through two steps: initial screening and in-depth evaluation. The initial step generates a shorter but more specific list of traffic simulation models based on some pre-determined criteria. The in-depth evaluation identifies which model on the shorter list is suitable for a specific area of ITS applications. It is concluded from this research that presently CORSIM and INTEGRATION appear to have the highest probability of success in real-world applications. It is also found that by adding more calibration and validation in the U.S., the AIMSUN 2 and PARAMICS models will be brought to the forefront in the near term for use with ITS applications.
