Calibration of Platoon Dispersion Parameter Considering the Impact of Number of Lanes

Yiming Bie, +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of number of lanes on platoon dispersion parameters was studied and it was found that car following, overtaking and lane change performed differently on the links with different numbers of lanes.

Traffic Platoon Dispersion Modeling on Arterial Streets

Abdelaziz Manar, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1996 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that platoon dispersion depends not only on external friction but also on internal friction between vehicles in the platoon, which is a key element in traffic simulation models designed to measure arrivals at traffic signals.

Calibration of Platoon Dispersion Parameter Considering the Impact of the Number of Lanes

Yiming Bie, +3 more
- 01 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the number of lanes on platoon dispersion of traffic flow in low-friction conditions was investigated in a survey of road segments with different numbers of lanes.

Procedures for Calibrating TRANSYT Platoon Dispersion Model

Mohamadreza Farzaneh, +1 more
- 01 Jul 2006 - 
TL;DR: A procedure is developed that overcomes a limitation of the TRANSYT software with regard to calibration of the recursive platoon dispersion model by adjusting the average link travel time to control the value of the travel time factor indirectly.

Studying Platoon Dispersion Characteristics Under Heterogeneous Traffic in India

Jijo K. Mathew, +4 more
- 02 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the platoon dispersion characteristics were studied by taking each platoon individually and the Robertson's model parameters calibrated for this data was found to be very different from those obtained in previous studies by other researchers.
