Monitoring pavement condition during its service life is paramount in order to antici-pate and optimize the potential maintenance work. For this purpose, different non-destructive techniques (NDT) are used to evaluate the structure distresses condition and to provide necessary information for the maintenance tasks. On their own, they are limited to...

The present work proposes a framework to calibrate MFD models using mobile phone data. The three major components to calibrate in the present context include MFD shape, regional trip lengths and path flow distribution. Time dependent penetration rates are estimated by fusing the OD matrix and the Loop Detector Data (LDD). The estimated MFDs are sta...
An excessive demand of vehicles to a motorway bottleneck leads to traffic jams. Motorbikes are narrow and can drive next to each other in a lane, or in-between lanes in low speeds. This paper analyses the resulting traffic characteristics and presents numerical scheme for a macroscopic traffic flow model for these two classes. The behavior included...
This work focuses on dynamic sustainable system optimum (SSO). When carrying out dynamic SSO assignment, instead of minimizing their own travel cost of each user, we aim to define an SSO status to minimize the on-road traffic emissions of the whole system. The method is based on an system-optimization program. This work proposes a simple, intuitive...
Recent empirical studies have found that travellers route choices deviate from perfect rationality, showing that urban trips do not necessary follow the shortest-time routes. However, there is no consent on how much the travellers' route choice behaviour deviates from the perfect rational assumption. The objective of this study is to contribute to ...
One of the main challenges for multi-regional application of the aggregated traffic models based on the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram, lies in the identification and characterization of the most prevailing paths chosen by drivers. In this paper, we propose a methodological framework, based on two distinct methods, to determine these prevailing pa...
