The speed-density or flow-density relationship has been considered as the foundation of
traffic flow theory. Existing single-regime models calibrated by the least square method …

This paper aims to cross-compare existing estimation methods for the Macroscopic
Fundamental Diagram. Raw data are provided by a mesoscopic simulation tool for two …

This paper focuses on two fundamental issues in traffic flow modelling: string stability of car
following (CF), and oscillation of traffic flow. Its aim is to explore the complementary use of …

A promising framework that describes traffic conditions in urban networks is the macroscopic
fundamental diagram (MFD), relating average flow and average density in a relatively …

Observations of traffic pairs of flow vs. density or occupancy for individual locations in
freeways or arterials are usually scattered about an underlying curve. Recent observations …

This paper proposes a theory for estimating the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD)
on inhomogeneous corridors and networks using probabilistic methods. By exploiting a …

This paper develops a model-based hierarchical control method for coordinated ramp
metering on freeway networks with multiple bottlenecks and on-and off-ramps. The controller …

Traffic management can prevent too many vehicles in a traffic network from reducing traffic
performance. In particular, traffic can be routed so that the bottlenecks are not oversaturated …

Connected and/or automated vehicles (CAVs or AVs) have been shown to dampen stop-and-
go waves in mixed autonomy traffic, thus improving string stability. However, their effects on …

Abstract Vickrey (1991, 2020) proposed a bathtub model for the evolution of trip flows served
by privately operated vehicles inside a road network based on three premises:(i) treatment …
