Developments

During the 10th TRAIL Congress, ITS Edulab organised its own session on its activities. After the welcome Henk Taale presented ITS Edulab, its organisation and what have been done so far. Then some ITS Edulab students talked about their project and their experiences with ITS Edulab. Finally, Serge Hoogendoorn lifted the veil about the future of ITS Edulab.

The presentations of the students are listed below:

Christiaan Hoogmoed: National data warehouse and its impacts on operational traffic management

Arnold van Veluwen: In car navigation impacts of network conditions and management

Femke van Wageningen-Kessels: Fast-lane on-line

Koen Adams: Impacts of incidents on safety and efficiency

Yufei Yuan: Coordinated ramp-metering

Start master thesis project of Suerd Polderdijk on the evaluation of network wide traffic management.

Because of the better possibilities of contacts with employees of Rijkswaterstaat, ITS Edulab moved to the office of the Centre for Transport and Navigation located at the Schoemakerstraat in Delft.

Coordinated ramp metering was the topic of Yufei Yuan. With simulation he investigated the effects of coordinated ramp metering and parameter settings for the coordinated strategy. He defended his master thesis, entitled “Coordination of Ramp Metering Control in Motorway Networks“, on July 23rd, 2008.

Marc has worked on “Adaptive Ramp Metering“. He defended his master thesis on the use of capacity estimation methods in ramp metering control algorithms on May 7th, 2008.

On April 11th, 2008, Koen Adams defended his master thesis “Safety and Throughput during incidents”.

Start master thesis project Yinyi Ma.

Rúna defended her master thesis on dynamic OD matrix estimation using a-priori information from floating car data on March 20th, 2008.

Start master thesis project Christiaan Hoogmoed on the impact of the national data warehouse on the supply of traffic information.

Start master thesis project Arnold van Veluwen.
