Paper, 2009Description: 12 sSubject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P1835:16 [World]Location: Abstract: Automated truck lane (ATL) is one of desirable solutions to cope with some problems caused by increasing freight transportation demand. In order to estimate the operational performance precisely, ATL system should be analyzed under large traffic networks. This paper proposes an integrated microscopic-mesoscopic simulation system framework for this study. Fundamental experiments of one segment of ATL show that performance of ATL is the best among the alternative strategies. Finally, simulation experiments on intercity expressways show the benefit from the application of ATL and change in traffic volume under large traffic networks.| Current library | Status | |
