Weather and traffic
It is known that weather conditions have a large impact on traffic operations. Capacity of the road drops when it rains or snows. How large the impacts are, is not known for all conditions. Weather information is important for all kinds of issues, but is not used in traffic information. That leads us to the research question: what is the influence of weather conditions on traffic operations and what are the possibilities to improve traffic operations with weather information?
Research Topic:
Finished reports
- Verkeersinformatie vanuit de NDW
- Gaining new insights regarding traffic congestion
- Design of an urban traffic controller that incorporates route advice given by in-vehicle navigation systems
- Coordination of Ramp Metering Control in Motorway Networks
- Dynamic OD matrix estimation using floating car data
- A-Priori Travel Time Predictor for Long Term Roadworks on Motorways
- Active platoon formation in congestion with Dynamic Dedicated Lane Sections
- The influence of dynamic route guidance systems on traffic management
- Level of Service estimation with in-vehicle sensor floating car data
- A possible new adaptive control approach for ramp metering
