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…

Traffic-light modelling is a complex task, because many factors have to be taken into account. In particular, capturing all traffic flows in one model can significantly complicate the model. Therefore, several realistic features are…

The residual queue during a given study period (e.g., peak hour) is an important feature that should be considered when solving a traffic assignment problem under equilibrium for strategic traffic planning. Although studies have focused…
Conventional urban traffic control systems have been based on historical traffic data. Later advancements made use of detectors, which enabled the gathering of real time traffic data, in order to reorganize and calibrate traffic…
We consider a transportation system of heterogeneously connected vehicles, where not all vehicles are able to communicate. Heterogeneous connectivity in transportation systems is coupled to practical constraints such that (i) not all…
Delayed interactions are a common property of coupled natural systems and therefore arise in a variety of different applications. For instance, signals in neural or laser networks propagate at finite speed giving rise to delayed…
We present an algorithmic method for analyzing networks of intersections with static signaling, with as primary example a line network that allows traffic flow over several intersections in one main direction. The method decomposes the…
We consider a novel, analytical queuing model for vehicle coordination at signal-free intersections. Vehicles arrive at an intersection according to Poisson processes, and the crossing times are constants dependent of vehicle types. We use…
Low delay is an explicit requirement for applications such as cloud gaming and video conferencing. Delay-based congestion control can achieve the same throughput but significantly smaller delay than loss-based one and is thus ideal for…
A network of signalized intersections is modeled as a queuing network. The intersections are regulated by fixed-time (FT) controls, all with the same cycle length or period, $T$. Vehicles arrive from outside the network at entry links in a…
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…
We study the relation between the average traffic flow and the vehicle density on road networks that we call 2D-traffic fundamental diagram. We show that this diagram presents mainly four phases. We analyze different cases. First, the case…
We propose a microscopic traffic model where the update velocity is determined by the deceleration capacity and response time. It is found that there is a class of collisions that cannot be distinguished by simply comparing the stop…
We investigate the behaviour of an original traffic model. The model considers a single multi-lane street, populated by autonomous vehicles directed from either end to the other. Lanes have no intrinsic directionality, and the vehicles are…
