Development and Evaluation of Neural Network Model for Incident Detection on Urban Arterials using Simulated Database
Abstract: Incident detection in urban arterial situation is more difficult than the similar job in freeway situation because of the presence of traffic signals and other intersections with associated recurrent queue. Most of the earlier automatic incident detection algorithms address mainly freeway situation. This study aims at development, calibration, validation and testing of an ANN model for incident detection in Kuala Lumpur (KL) arterials using simulated incident database. Database for the …

Headway Compression during Queue Discharge at Signalized Intersections under Mixed Traffic Condition
Abstract: The evaluation of capacity at signalized intersection is an important component in the planning, design, operation and management of transportation system. Presently, the methodologies available for the estimation of capacity of signalized intersections are based on the concept of saturation flow(s). Saturation flow is the steady maximum queue discharge rate after the green onset. According to the U.S. Highway Capacity Manual, this steady maximum rate is generally achieved after the …

Travel Demand Management for Sustainable Urban Transport in Kuala Lumpur: Operation and Energy Consumption Issues
Abstract: A number of South-East Asian cities are experiencing rapid growth in car ownership and overall transportation demand in the context of relatively low fuel and road tax along with land use patterns that encourage private automobile trips. To address these challenges, sustainable transport initiatives, which often include travel demand management (TDM), are increasingly being promoted at the city level. This paper examines the effectiveness of TDM on reducing road traffic …
