The key aspect for the quantification of indirect impacts of flooding is the assessment of the disruption of the transportation service considering social and economic consequences. To investigate how flooding can affect road transportation, it is es...

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have the potential to improve traffic conditions and reduce travel delays. As a decision support software system for ITS, DynasTIM is based on the principle of dynamic traffic assignment and developed for real...

Bangkok, Thailand is prone to flooding after heavy rain. Many road sections become impassable, causing severe traffic congestion and greatly impacting activities. Optimal vehicle management requires the knowledge of flooding impact on road traffic co...

Reducing waiting times is crucial for ports to be efficient and competitive. Important causes of waiting times are cascading interactions between realistic hydrodynamics, accessibility policies, vessel-priority rules, and detailed berth availability....

Natural disasters may require that the residents of the affected area be evacuated immediately using a potentially damaged infrastructure. In this paper, we developed a mesoscopic simulation modeling approach for modeling traffic flow over a large ge...

The complexity and resource-sharing nature of traffic within multi-airport regions present significant challenges for air traffic management. This paper aims to develop a mesoscopic traffic model for exploring the traffic dynamics under coupled opera...

Traffic conditions can be more accurately estimated using data assimilation techniques since these methods incorporate an imperfect traffic simulation model with the (partial) noisy measurement data. In this paper, we propose a data assimilation fram...

To effectively mitigate anthropogenic air pollution, it is imperative to implement strategies aimed at reducing emissions from traffic-related sources. Achieving this objective can be facilitated by employing modeling techniques to elucidate the inte...

Effectiveness in managing disturbances and disruptions in railway traffic networks, when they inevitably do occur, is a significant challenge, both from a practical and theoretical perspective. In this paper, we propose a heuristic approach for solvi...

Mobility digital twins (MDTs), which utilize multi-modal microscopic (micro) traffic simulations and an activity-based demand generation, are envisioned as flexible and reliable planning tools for addressing today’s increasingly complex and div...

Macroscopic fatigue tests, mesoscopic finite element simulations, and microscopic molecular dynamics simulations were composed to study the damage and failure of drainage asphalt mixtures in multiscale. The applicability of the fatigue models fit by...

MATSim is an open-source simulation framework for mesoscopic traffic simulations that has gained popularity in recent years. In this paper, we present a MATSim model for the city of Vienna, with a particular emphasis on the intermodal routing framewo...

There is a large number of tools for the simulation of traffic and routes in public transport systems. These use different simulation models (macroscopic, microscopic, and mesoscopic). Unfortunately, these simulation tools are limited when simulating...

Motorized transport is one of the main contributors to anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, which cause global warming. Other emissions, like nitrogen oxides or carbon monoxide, are detrimental to human health. A prominent way to understand and thus...

The relationship between estimating traffic flow and evaluating pollutant emissions lies in understanding how vehicular traffic patterns affect air quality. Traffic flow estimation is a complex field that involves a variety of analytical techniques t...

The evolving economic and technological landscape has brought about significant changes in travel behaviors and traffic patterns. These changes have led to the emergence of complex, multi-modal travel demands that interact with transportation network...

Road network pricing and congestion charging continue to be debated as efficient instruments to address traffic congestion and emissions. For cities where the schemes have not been implemented yet, the impacts of these schemes are typically evaluated...
