Download or read book Determining Roadway Capacity Using Direct Empirical Methods written by Aminu Suleiman and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimation of a capacity of transportation systems and facilities is one of the major issues in traffic flow analysis. Capacity of a roadway can be estimated using direct or indirect empirical methods. The focus of this project is the estimation of a roadway operational capacity using four direct empirical methods (i.e. Generalized queuing model, Selected Maxima, Product Limit Selection and fundamental diagrams). The methods were used to estimate roadway capacity values using the traffic data obtained from Pontian Highway in Johor Malaysia. The results shows that the capacity values obtained with product-limit-selection method were closer to the observed maximum volumes for all the averaging time intervals(i.e. 5min,10min, 15min) considered. The next method that has capacity values closer to observed maximum volumes was fundamental diagram method. Headway method was found to have higher and exaggerated capacity values compared to the observed maximum volumes.fundamental diagram method was found to be the most suitable method because it takes in to account the finite nature of the road section by including density in the analysis.
Download or read book Transportation Systems and Service Policy written by John G. Schoon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The many aspects of urban transportation planning and design demand a multi faceted approach to ensure responsive, economical, and environmentally sensi tive facilities that enhance mobility. Yet all too easily the complexity of the process can obscure the major elements. This book aims at assisting the analyst to provide decision makers with a range of solutions by illustrating how service policies regarding quality of service, fares, investment levels, and environmental impacts affect and are affected by each other. This book, therefore, concentrates on the process of planning and design. It addresses the major elements of urban transportation planning, design, and impact estimation, and offers practice in undertaking typical projects. It focuses on the linkages and interaction with public policy regarding user service levels, and the resulting design and impacts. The process is illustrated by (1) outlining the individual transportation analysis and design techniques and their linkages, (2) describing the planning and design process, from population changes affect ing demand and mobility needs to estimation of air pollution and energy use impacts that are instrumental in shaping public policy and strategic planning, (3) presenting examples of transportation design projects showing how service policy may affect the physical and operational design of multimodal, urban trans portation systems, (4) enabling the readers to obtain practice in basic, applied transportation analysis, design, and impact estimation by defining the key service policy variables of projects for solution, and (5) familiarizing the reader with

Download or read book Schedule Based Modeling of Transportation Networks written by Nigel H. M. Wilson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-10-22 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Schedule-Based Modeling of Transportation Networks: Theory and Applications" follows the book Schedule-Based Dynamic Transit Modeling, published in this series in 2004, recognizing the critical role that schedules play in transportation systems. Conceived for the simulation of transit systems, in the last few years the schedule-based approach has been expanded and applied to operational planning of other transportation schedule services besides mass transit, e.g. freight transport. This innovative approach allows forecasting the evolution over time of the on-board loads on the services and their time-varying performance, using credible user behavioral hypotheses. It opens new frontiers in transportation modeling to support network design, timetable setting, and investigation of congestion effects, as well as the assessment of such new technologies, such as users system information (ITS technologies).
Download or read book Transportation Systems Analysis and Assessment written by Stefano De Luca and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transportation system is the backbone of any social and economic system, and is also a very complex system in which users, transport means, technologies, services, and infrastructures have to cooperate with each other to achieve common and unique goals.The aim of this book is to present a general overview on some of the main challenges that transportation planners and decision makers are faced with. The book addresses different topics that range from user's behavior to travel demand simulation, from supply chain to the railway infrastructure capacity, from traffic safety issues to Life Cycle Assessment, and to strategies to make the transportation system more sustainable.

This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Transit Street Design Guide sets a new vision for how cities can harness the immense potential of transit to create active and efficient streets in neighborhoods and downtowns alike. Building on the Urban Street Design Guide and Urban Bikeway Design Guide, the Transit Street Design Guide details how reliable public transportation depends on a commitment to transit at every level of design. Developed through a new peer network of NACTO members and transit agency partners, the Guide provides street transportation departments, transit operating agencies, leaders, and practitioners with the tools to actively prioritize transit on the street."--Site Web de NACTO.
