Optimising a vehicle's approach towards an adaptively controlled intersection

Traffic emissions at controlled intersections can be reduced when the possibilities of infrastructure-to-vehicle communication are put to good use. In this study the authors present two applications: one infrastructure-based and one vehicle-based that in concert are able to significantly reduce the overall emissions at a controlled intersection....

Stedelijk verkeersmanagement. Problemen van nu en oplossingsrichtingen voor de toekomst

De stad staat weer volop in de belangstelling. In de jaren ’60, ’70 en ’80 van de vorige eeuw leek

Ecomove: Cooperatieve systemen krijgen verkeerskundige betekenis

In het Europese project eCoMove werken 32 partners uit tien landen aan slimme, coöperatieve oplossingen om het verkeer energiezuiniger te maken. Welk concept hanteren de partners? En welke concrete applicaties hebben de eCoMove-partners inmiddels ontwikkeld

Scanning tour USA. Traffic management: the American blend

In The Netherlands traffic management is being considered a serious policy option to deal with traffic congestion and its negative impact on safety, economy and livability. Building new roads is often not feasible due to a lack of space, environmental and funding issues. Also, pricing is not an option for the next couple of years due to...

Coordinatie van maatregelen. State-of-the-Art Achtergronddocument

TrafficQuest inventariseert doorlopend de stand van zaken met betrekking tot verkeersmanagement en de richting waarin ontwikkelingen plaatsvinden. Verkeersmanagement staat nog maar aan het begin van veel veranderingen. Allerlei ontwikkelingen zullen het mogelijk maken verkeersmanagement effectiever, proactiever en netwerkbreed toe te passen....

The future of traffic management. State of the Art, Current trends and perspectives for the future

In just a few years, traffic management has been transformed from an everyday, passive task for the highway authority to an important policy instrument. This transformation is not without reason. Traffic management has improved the safety and operations on our roadways, while it is relatively inexpensive, flexible and rapidly deployable....

Verkeersmanagement op z'n Amerikaans - lessen uit de VS

TrafficQuest (het Expertisecentrum Verkeersmanagement) is een samenwerkingsverband tussen Rijkswaterstaat DVS, TNO en de TU Delft, met als doel het bundelen, ontwikkelen en ontsluiten van kennis over verkeersmanagement. Eén van de taken van TrafficQuest is bijhouden van de stand van zaken van en de ontwikkelingen binnen verkeersmanagement. Om...

De toekomst van verkeersmanagement. Stand van zaken, trends en perspectief

Verkeersmanagement is in enkele jaren tijd uitgegroeid van ‘een taak erbij’ voor de wegbeheerder tot een belangrijk beleidsinstrument. Dat is niet zonder reden. Verkeersmanagement heeft de doorstroming en veiligheid op de weg verbeterd, terwijl het toch relatief goedkoop, snel inzetbaar en flexibel is. Verkeerskundigen zijn er bovendien van...

Real-time vehicle emission monitoring along roadsides

In the worldwide efforts to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses in general and those emitted by vehicles in particular, vehicle emission monitoring is important. It provides accurate knowledge of real-world emissions of vehicles as input for vehicle emission models. Real-time emission monitoring along roadsides can be used in dedicated...

Multi-agent control of traffic networks: Algorithm and case study

As more and more traffic control instruments are installed, the probability increases that conflicts will arise or that coordination opportunities are lost when various traffic control measures are applied in the same area. Traffic control instruments can thus no longer be considered separately, but have to be considered as part of a larger...

Traffic adaptive control of a single intersection: A taxonomy of approaches

The design of a traffic adaptive control system is as well a science as an art. Along the way compromises have to be made in order to end up with a workable system that is not only able to come up with good signal timings, but is also able to deliver them on time. In this paper we propose a taxonomy of the various traffic adaptive control...
