The major advances in intelligent transportation systems are pushing societal services toward autonomy where road management is to be more agile in order to cope with changes and continue to yield optimal performance. However, the…

Bus bunching is ostensibly regarded as a detrimental phenomenon in bus systems. We study a bus loop with two bus stops, one regular and one spike bus stop, where bunched buses can outperform staggered buses. The spike bus stop models a bus…

Despite the evident drawbacks, car ownership and usage continue to rise globally, leading to increased pollution and urban sprawl. As alternatives, Active Mobility and Public Transport are promoted for their health, economic, and…

In multi-class communication networks, traffic surges due to one class of users can significantly degrade the performance for other classes. During these transient periods, it is thus of crucial importance to implement priority mechanisms…

Reinforcement Learning is proving a successful tool that can manage urban intersections with a fraction of the effort required to curate traditional traffic controllers. However, literature on the introduction and control of pedestrians to…

Buses are a vital component of metropolitan public transport, yet conventional bus services often struggle with inefficiencies including extended dwelling time, which increases in-vehicle travel time for non-alighting passengers. A…

We address the traffic light control problem for a single intersection by viewing it as a stochastic hybrid system and developing a Stochastic Flow Model (SFM) for it. We adopt a quasi-dynamic control policy based on partial state…

This work addresses the problem of autonomous traffic management at an isolated intersection for connected and automated vehicles. We decompose the trajectory of each vehicle into two phases: the provisional phase and the coordinated phase.…

Many production processes require the cooperation of various resources. Especially when using expensive machines, their utilization plays a decisive role in efficient production. In agricultural production or civil construction processes,…

This paper has studied the minimum traffic delay at a two-phase intersection, taking into account the dynamical evolution process of queues. The feature of delay function has been studied, which indicates that the minimum traffic delay must…

Continuous-Flow Intersections (CFI), also known as Displaced Left-Turn (DLT) intersections, aim to improve the efficiency and safety of traffic junctions. A CFI introduces additional sub-intersections upstream of the main intersection to…

Time-dependent fixed-time control is a cost-effective control method that is widely employed at signalized intersections in numerous countries. Existing optimization models rely on traditional delay models with specific assumptions…

In this work we study the effect of a traffic light system on the flow of a single lane road by proposing a traffic model based on a cellular automaton that also includes behavioral considerations. We focus on the macroscopic…

Intersections are the bottlenecks of the urban road system because an intersection's capacity is only a fraction of the flows that the roads connecting to the intersection can carry. This capacity can be increased if vehicles can cross the…
