Journal Article
Adaptive Signal Control with LRT Preemption
TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive signal control with light rail transit (LRT) preemption at a single intersection is presented, which selects the signal plan and phase length at the end of each cycle according to the prevailing traffic and the presence of LRT preemption.

Microsimulating Heterogeneous Traffic: An Implementation of the Porous Flow Approach
Jason Hawkins,Lina Kattan +1 more
TL;DR: A microsimulation model is developed using an object-oriented approach and compared with existing work in the field and it is determined that several changes are required to the theoretical framework to accurately represent traffic characteristics before viable commercial application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collisions on local roads: model development and policy level scenario analysis
TL;DR: The problem of collisions on local roads has received little specific attention despite the considerable number of such collisions that occur each year, according to the first part of this study.
Responsive Signal Control for Non-recurrent Traffic Congestion on an Arterials
TL;DR: Case-based reasoning (CBR) was used to formulate a control strategy, which matches the traffic pattern and assigns a corresponding timing plan from its library with minimal re-computation, and showed that RESSICA outperformed the existing pre-timed/actuated signal controller, in terms of reducing travel time, delay, stop delay and intersection delay in the study area.
Planning Urban Ring Rail Transit Lines: A Case Study of Shanghai, China
Saeid Saidi,Yuxiong Ji,Cheng Cheng,Jinping Guan,Shengchuan Jiang,Lina Kattan,Yuchuan Du,Chan Wirasinghe +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the long-range planning of ring transit lines was used in comparison of the current alignment of the Shanghai ring line with the optimized model output, and a second ring transit line was recommended for the future Shanghai network.
