Battery Electric Vehicle Eco-Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control in the Vicinity of Signalized Intersections
(MDPI, 2020-05-12)
This study develops a connected eco-driving controller for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), the BEV Eco-Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control at Intersections (Eco-CACC-I). The developed controller can assist BEVs while ...
Adaptive Traffic Signal Control: Game-Theoretic Decentralized vs. Centralized Perimeter Control
(MDPI, 2021-01-03)
This paper compares the operation of a decentralized Nash bargaining traffic signal controller (DNB) to the operation of state-of-the-art adaptive and gating traffic signal control. Perimeter control (gating), based on the ...
Estimation of Traffic Stream Density Using Connected Vehicle Data: Linear and Nonlinear Filtering Approaches
(MDPI, 2020-07-22)
The paper presents a nonlinear filtering approach to estimate the traffic stream density on signalized approaches based solely on connected vehicle (CV) data. Specifically, a particle filter (PF) is developed to produce ...
Application of Balanced Mix Design Methodology to Optimize Surface Mixes with High-RAP Content
(MDPI, 2020-12-10)
The most common use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is in the lower layers of a pavement structure, where it has been proven as a valid substitute for virgin materials. The use of RAP in surface mixes is more limited, ...
What Are the Restraint Practices, Preferences, and Experiences When Australian Parents Travel with Their Children in a Rideshare Vehicle?
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
This study aimed to explore the preferences, experiences and restraint practices of Australian parents travelling with their children in rideshare vehicles. Six hundred and thirty-one participants completed an online survey ...
Empirical Study of Effect of Dynamic Travel Time Information on Driver Route Choice Behavior
(MDPI, 2020-06-08)
The objective of this paper is to study the effect of travel time information on day-to-day driver route choice behavior. A real-world experimental study is designed to have participants repeatedly choose between two ...
Use of Life Cycle Cost Analysis and Multiple Criteria Decision Aid Tools for Designing Road Vertical Profiles
(MDPI, 2019-12-12)
The current design practice for the vertical profile of roads in rolling and mountainous terrains is to follow the existing grades in order to minimize earthwork costs. This means that the only criterion considered during ...
Impact of Intersection Control on Battery Electric Vehicle Energy Consumption
(MDPI, 2020-06-19)
Battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales have significantly increased in recent years. They have different energy consumption patterns compared to the fuel consumption patterns of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). ...
Checklist for Expert Evaluation of HMIs of Automated Vehicles—Discussions on Its Value and Adaptions of the Method within an Expert Workshop
(MDPI, 2020-04-24)
Within a workshop on evaluation methods for automated vehicles (AVs) at the Driving Assessment 2019 symposium in Santa Fe; New Mexico, a heuristic evaluation methodology that aims at supporting the development of ...
Developing a Neural–Kalman Filtering Approach for Estimating Traffic Stream Density Using Probe Vehicle Data
(MDPI, 2019-10-07)
This paper presents a novel model for estimating the number of vehicles along signalized approaches. The proposed estimation algorithm utilizes the adaptive Kalman filter (AKF) to produce reliable traffic vehicle count ...
