These methods are an integral part of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). An ITS essentially integrates information and communication technology to solve the congestion problems. Ramp metering (RM) and Variable Speed Limit Control (VSLC) are some of the most widely used urban motorway traffic control methods. RM provide direct influence over the on-ramp flows by using specialized traffic lights, while the VSLC control speed of mainstream flow by using variable messaging signs. A dedicated algorithm for RM or VSLC uses sensory data form an urban motorway to compute actions that will have a positive impact on both types of traffic flow. This study will focus on the cooperation of an RM and a VSLC systems, and the integration of several different RM algorithms into a single algorithm called INTEGRA. The algorithm is created by using the Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) as an instance of machine learning techniques. Furthermore, INTGERA is expanded in order to integrate its original functionality with a recurrent neural network for traffic demand prediction. As the final step, this doctoral thesis will provide evaluation of different criteria for learning dataset functional setup, based on which ANFIS neural network of INTEGRA will be learned. Results of all mentioned approaches will be compared and discussed in relation with other commonly used urban motorway control methods. Key words Cooperative control, ramp metering, variable speed limit control, urban motorways, adaptive neuro fuzzy inference systems, recurrent neural network, learning dataset iii Prošireni sažetak Kako bi se ostvario veći stupanj uslužnosti na urbanim autocestama primjenjuju se nove upravljačke metode. Najkorištenije upravljačke metode na urbanim autocestama su upravljanje priljevnim tokovima (engl. ramp metering - RM) i promjenjivo ograničenje brzina vozila. Algoritam za upravljanje priljevnim tokovima ima zadaću računati stupanj propuštanja vozila s ulazne rampe (priljevni tok) u glavni tok u odnosu na ukupan broj vozila koja žele uči u glavni tok, pri tome koristeći ulaznu rampu kao privremeni „spremnik“ vozila. Čitava RM metoda upravljanja prometa na ubranoj autocesti zasniva se na prometnim podatcima koji se prikupljaju u stvarnom vremenu posredstvom prometnih senzora (induktivnih petlji, kamera, itd.), te proslijeđeni RM algoritmu. Stupanj propuštanja vozila u glavni tok proračunat od strane RM algoritma prosljeđuje se specijalnoj upravljivoj prometnoj signalizaciji [4]. Glavnina istraživanja u ovom doktorskom radu vezana je upravo za upravljanje priljevnim tokovima s posebnim naglaskom na kooperaciju s drugim sustavima upravljanja prometom, te primjeni strojnog učenja. Također, u kooperaciji s upravljanjem priljevnih tokova razmatrat će se druge upravljačke metode kao što su sustav zabrane prometovanja određenim prometnim trakama, te potpuno ili djelomično upravljanje vozilima opremljenim posebnim računalnim jedinicama. Od strane autora predložen je neuro-neizraziti okvir za učenje koji omogućuje integraciju različitih strategija upravljanja priljevnim tokovima. CTMSIM makro-simulacijski alat koji je izrađen u Matlab programskom okruženju korišten je u simulaciji odabranih metoda upravljanja prometom na urbanim autocestama. Simulator je proširen od strana autora kako bi podržao kooperativno upravljanje priljevnim tokovima, kao i sustav za promjenjivo ograničenje brzina vozila. Cilj istraživanja: Razviti strategije za upravljanje urbanom autocestom koje će biti zasnovane na konceptu kooperacije te ih evaluirati u relaciji s postojećim samostalnim upravljačkim strategijama. Dodatni cilj je izrada novog okvira za učenje različitih strategija upravljanja priljevnim tokovima. Hipoteze: Upravljanje priljevnim tokovima zasnovano na strojnom učenju, u slučajevima značajnih promjena prometne potražnje, može ostvariti kraće vrijeme putovanja uz prihvatljivi red reda čekanja na ulaznim rampama te prihvatljivog ukupnog kašnjenja u odnosu na dosadašnje strategije upravljanja priljevnim tokovima. Algoritam koji je zasnovan na kooperaciji između više ulaznih rampi i kooperaciji upravljanja priljevnim tokovima i iv promjenjivog ograničenja brzina vozila, može ostvariti značajno bolje rezultate u odnosu na samostalne (pojedinačne) aplikacije upravljanja priljevnim tokovima i promjenjivog ograničenja brzina. Prometne mreže velikih urbanih središta imaju glavnu zadaću opsluživati prometnu potražnju bližih manjih gradova, većih središnjih gradova, te tranzitni promet. Kako bi se rasteretila urbana mreža grada od tranzitnog prometa izgrađene su posebne autoceste pod nazivom - gradske obilaznice, a smještene su na rubnim dijelovima urbanih područja. Urbane obilaznice su ubrzo postale okružene urbanom infrastrukturom s proširenjem urbanih područja. Spomenuto je uzrokovalo njihovu integraciju s urbanom prometnom mrežom. Urbane obilaznice su postale poznate kao urbane autoceste. Glavne značajke urbanih autocesta su: 1. Upitna mogućnost za fizičkim povećanjem postojećih prometnih kapaciteta; 2. Veći broj ulaznih i izlaznih rampi koje su blizu jedna drugoj; 3. Opslužuju tranzitni promet

  • E-Croatia Motorway A3, from Junction Jakuševec to Junction Ivanja Reka Case Study
    Case Study E-Croatia Motorway A3, from junction Jakuševec to junction Ivanja Reka Case Study This case study concerns the Zagreb bypass, motorway A3 section from junction Jakuševec to junction Ivanja Reka (Figure 1) where a Star Rating for Design Plans has been conducted. This is a 12.3km long road section with two traffic lanes in each A wide paved shoulder is present on the passenger side of the road, direction, where an additional third traffic lane was proposed. This serving as a stopping lane. On 76% (18.5 km) of this road section dual carriageway motorway divided by a metal barrier passes through the speed limit is equal to 130 km/h, and 100 km/h on the remaining a rural area and has a traffic flow of about 20,000 vehicles per day. 24% (6 km). Figure 1. Motorway A3, Zagreb bypass section (Jakuševec junction – Ivanja Reka junction) Case Study Case Study Road Assessment A detailed analysis of the risk assessment of the motorway A3, Zagreb bypass section (Jakuševec junction – Ivanja Reka junction) has been carried out to clarify the reasons for the Star Ratings. Star Ratings results (Figure 2 and Table 1) clearly indicate that most of the observed road section (63%) is assessed as 3-star for vehicle occupants, and around 20% of the road section is rated with 4 stars. The remaining parts of the observed section have 2- and 1-star rates (2% and 15%, respectively). The rating for motorcyclists is less good, where 76% of the network length belongs to the one-star high-risk category, and the remaining 24% of the road section is rated with 2-star.

  • Public-Private Partnerships in New EU Member Countries of Central and Eastern Europe: an Economic Analysis with Case Studies from the Highway Sector
    Public Sector Management and Regulation Working Papers WP-PSM-08 Public-Private Partnerships in New EU Member Countries of Central and Eastern Europe: An Economic Analysis with Case Studies from the Highway Sector Andreas Brenck, Thorsten Beckers, Maria Heinrich, and Christian von Hirschhausen Reprint from EIB Papers, Vol. 10, No. 2 (2005), 82-112 Workgroup for Infrastructure Policy (WIP) Chair of Energy Economics and Public Sector Berlin University of Technology Dresden University of Technology ABSTRACT This paper analyses the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) for infrastructure development in the new EU member states and candidate countries in Central and Eastern Europe. We survey projects in transport, water, energy, and telecommunications sectors and then focus on the highway sector. Based on theoretical considerations and extensive fieldwork in Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and the Czech Republic, we find that PPPs have not been very successful in the region to date. This is mainly due to the unfavourable institutional environment during the transition period, suboptimal project design, and unrealistic demand projections. However, the conditions for successful PPPs have considerably improved, partly due to EU membership, so that PPPs remain an important option for the second generation of infrastructure projects.
