Mathematical Modelling of Traffic Flow on Highway
ISSN (Online) 2456 -1304 International Journal of Science, Engineering and Management (IJSEM) Vol 2, Issue 11, November 2017 Mathematical Modelling Of Traffic Flow on Highway [1] Venkatesha P., [2] Ajith.M, [3] Abhijith Patil, [4]Dhamini.T [1] Assistant Professor, [2][3][4] 1st Semester [1] Department of science and humanities Engineering,[2] Department of Computer Science Engineering, [3][4] Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering [1][2][3][4] Sri Sai Ram College of Engineering, Anekal, Bengaluru, India. Abstract:-- This paper intends a mathematical model for the study of traffic flow on the highways. This paper develops a discrete velocity mathematical model in spatially homogeneous conditions for vehicular traffic along a multilane road. The effect of the overall interactions of the vehicles along a given distance of the road was investigated. We also observed that the density of cars per mile affects the net rate of interaction between them. A mathematical macroscopic traffic flow model known as light hill, Whitham and Richards (LWR) model appended with a closure non-linear velocity-density relationship yielding a quasi-linear first order (hyperbolic) partial differential equation as an initial boundary value problem (IBVP) was considered. The traffic model IBVP is a finite difference method which leads to a first order explicit upwind by difference scheme was discretized. keywords:-- Mathematical modeling, traffic flow, Homogeneous conditions, Multilane road, Velocity-density, Quasi-linear first order (hyperbolic) partial differential equation, Finite difference method. I. INTRODUCTION II. HISTORY Attempts to produce a mathematical theory of traffic flow Mathematical modeling is the process of converting a date back to the 1920s, when Frank Knight first produced real-world problem into a mathematical problem and an analysis of traffic equilibrium, which was refined into solving them with certain circumstances and interpreting Wardrop’s first and second principles of equilibrium in 1 those solutions into real world. -

2010 Annual Report.Pdf
U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management Transportation Emergency Preparedness Program 2010 Annual Report 2010 Annual Report Department of Energy Transportation Emergency Preparedness Program Executive Summary The mission for the Transportation Emergency Preparedness Program (TEPP) is to ensure federal, state, tribal, and local responders have access to the plans, training, and technical assistance necessary to safely, efficiently, and effectively respond to radiological transportation accidents. To support this mission TEPP has formed strong partnerships over the last 15 years with state, tribal and local response organizations, Federal agencies and other national programs integrating TEPP planning tools and training into a variety of hazardous materials preparedness programs. These partnerships have resulted in states and tribes either using all or portions of the TEPP resources in their programs. Many have adopted the TEPP training program, Modular Emergency Response Radiological Transportation Training (MERRTT), into their hazardous material training curriculums to assist them in preparing their fire departments, law enforcement organizations, hazardous materials response teams, emergency management officials, public information officers and emergency medical technicians to respond to a radiological transportation accidents. This Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 DOE TEPP Annual Report highlights events, outreach, partnerships and training where TEPP has proven to be integral in building radiological response capabilities of states and tribes that may need to respond to radiological incidents. To help build those capacities, TEPP promotes state and tribal implementation by providing responders who successfully complete a MERRTT Train-the-Trainer (T3) course with the tools and knowledge to integrate MERRTT into their state, tribal, or local training programs. TEPP has proven to be an effective and growing preparedness resource across the nation. -

Chapter Four
CHAPTER FOUR EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM INVENTORY WITH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS This Chapter of the WATS Long Range Transportation Plan provides a description of the existing multi-modal transportation system in Lycoming County encompassing highways and bridges, public transportation, airports, railroads and bike / pedestrian facilities. There are no waterway or inland ports located in the County. An inventory of current transportation assets by transportation mode will be provided, including a current physical condition and operational performance needs assessment. This data driven inventory and assessment is important to properly address transportation asset management needs and to improve operational performance of the overall system in terms of public safety, security, efficiency and cost effective movement of people and goods. HIGHWAY SYSTEM Highway Designations / Classification System According to the PennDOT Bureau of Planning and Research, there are 1,995.18 linear miles of publicly owned roadways throughout Lycoming County. PennDOT owns 716.59 linear miles, (35%) of public roadways in Lycoming County. In addition, there are 1,258.86 miles, (63%) of locally-owned roadways owned by 52 different local municipalities included on the PennDOT Liquid Fuels System. Other agencies own the remainder of roads in the County. Lycoming County government only owns two roads which are County Farm Road at the Lysock View county complex housing the Department of Public Safety (911 center), Pre- Release and county farm and an entrance road to the White Deer Recreation Complex. There are federal designations and classifications established for highway systems in the nation as noted in the following sections. Road Functional Classification System The Federal Highway Administration, PennDOT and Metropolitan & Rural Planning Organizations cooperatively establish and update maps that delineate various road classifications which group roadways into a hierarchy based on the type of highway service provided. -
Common Traffic Congestion Features Studied in USA, UK, and Germany Employing Kerner’S Three-Phase Traffic Theory
Common Traffic Congestion Features studied in USA, UK, and Germany employing Kerner’s Three-Phase Traffic Theory Hubert Rehborn, Sergey L. Klenov*, Jochen Palmer# Daimler AG, HPC: 050-G021, D-71059 Sindelfingen, Germany, e-mail: [email protected] , Tel. +49-7031-4389-594, Fax: +49-7031-4389-210 *Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Department of Physics, 141700 Dolgoprudny, Moscow Region, Russia, e-mail: [email protected] #IT-Designers GmbH, Germany, e-mail: [email protected] Corresponding author : Hubert Rehborn, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract - Based on a study of real traffic data measured on American, UK and German freeways common features of traffic congestion relevant for many transportation engineering applications are revealed by the application of Kerner’s three-phase traffic theory. General features of traffic congestion, i.e., features of traffic breakdown and of the further development of congested regions, are shown on freeways in the USA and UK beyond the previously known German examples. A general proof of the theory’s statements and its parameters for international freeways is of high relevance for all applications related to traffic congestion. The application ASDA/FOTO based on Kerner’s three-phase traffic theory demonstrates its capability to properly process raw traffic data in different countries and environments. For the testing of Kerner’s “line J”, representing the wide moving jam’s downstream front, four different methods are studied and compared for each congested traffic situation occurring in the three countries. Keywords - Traffic congestion, Kerner’s three-phase theory, traffic data analysis, congestion, traffic models, traffic flow, Intelligent Transportation Systems 1 INTRODUCTION In many countries of the world, traffic on freeways is often heavily congested during many hours of the day. -
