Abstract: With the accelerating global urbanization process, urban transportation systems are facing multiple challenges, including surging traffic flow, environmental protection, and road safety. To ...

Abstract: Obtaining future traffic state evolution information is critical to traffic control algorithms design and further to intelligent transportation systems. However, accurately predicting ...

We extend the classical Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) traffic model allowing different maximal speeds for different vehicles. Then we add a uniform bound on the traffic speed. The result, presented ...

Vehicular emissions, being a major global health concern, have gathered worldwide attention and necessitated extensive research to gain deeper insights. The aim of this study was to estimate the ...

Traffic lights that act locally can improve traffic globally, new research suggests. By minimizing congestion, the approach could save money, reduce emissions and perhaps even quash the road rage of ...

Those routinely stuck in urban traffic jams can take heart in the fact that scientists may have found a way to reduce congestion, by rethinking the way traffic lights should operate. Two European ...
