Modeling factors influencing the capacity of motorway merge sections controlled by ramp metering (2011)
Presentation / Conference
sections controlled by ramp metering. Presented at 6th International Symposium on Highway Capacity and Quality of Service, Stockholm, Sweden

This paper focuses on studying factors which are likely to affect motorway merge capacity when ramp metering controls are in use. A newly developed traffic micro-simulation model has been used for this purpose and the well known ALINEA and Demand-Cap...

Development of traffic micro-simulation model for motorway merges with ramp metering (2011)
Thesis
Al-Obaedi, J. Development of traffic micro-simulation model for motorway merges with ramp metering. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis focuses on the development of a micro-simulation model for motorway merge sections. The aim is to study the effectiveness of applying some traffic management controls and particularly focuses on applying ramp metering (RM) systems. T...

Developing a simulation model to evaluate the capacity of weaving sections (2011)
Thesis
Al-Jameel, H. Developing a simulation model to evaluate the capacity of weaving sections. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Weaving sections have proved to cause bottlenecks on motorways because of the relatively frequent lane changes in these sections. The use of analytical models in assessing weaving section capacity (such as those suggested by the Highway Capacity Ma...
