Driving behavior models that capture drivers' tactical maneuvering decisions in different traffic conditions are essential to microscopic traffic simulation systems. This paper <italic>focuses</italic> on a parameter that has a great impact on road users' aggressive overtaking maneuvers and directly affects...

Researchers in the transportation field rely heavily on traditional random-digit-dialing phone surveys and increasingly on online surveys. Many studies have looked at the strengths and weaknesses of the two methods, but few have examined differences in the inferences that can be drawn from the...

We consider the transit coordination problem with heterogeneous headways. Timetables with heterogeneous headways improve coordination between transit lines and reduce transfer time for connecting passengers. Unfortunately, deviating from homogeneous headways impacts adversely on initial waiting...

Speed dispersion, with respect to its statistical relationships with fundamental traffic flow parameters, is used to measure freeway level of service in the context of 'no more than <italic>x</italic>% of vehicles with travel time up to <italic>y</italic>% greater than the free flow condition.' It is argued that such a measure...

This paper examines the impact of having cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) embedded vehicles on traffic flow characteristics of a multilane highway system. The study identifies how CACC vehicles affect the dynamics of traffic flow on a complex network and reduce traffic congestion...

Increasing representation of small business perspectives in policy research would benefit from identifying strategies to increase response rates. Despite the significance of the issue, there is inconsistent reporting amongst small business research about issues such as sampling, recruitment and...

At frontage road intersections located downstream of freeway off-ramps, the use of dual right-turn lanes may provide improved weaving environments for right-turning vehicles from the off-ramp and reduce forced merges toward the desired right-turn bay. This paper investigates the safety impacts...

Many authorities are investing in new infrastructure to improve the quality of public transport (PT) services in the hope to increase mode switch from cars. The goal is to provide users with an integrated multimodal PT network by facilitating transfers. There exists a lack in the clarity of the...

This paper addresses the transferability issue faced by many practitioners in developing an effective and efficient automatic incident detection algorithm for different freeways. An algorithm fusion procedure developed for the Central Expressway in Singapore is evaluated to demonstrate its...
