Development Of An Improved Arterial Roadway Performance Reliability Methodology, Ernest Tufuor
Development Of An Improved Arterial Roadway Performance Reliability Methodology, Ernest Tufuor
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The need for reliable performance measures of urban arterial roadways is increasing because of the rise in traffic congestion and the high value of travel time. Consequently, travel time reliability (TTR), which combines components of measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion of travel times, has recently received considerable research interest.
The basis of all TTR metrics is the travel time distribution (TTD). Estimating and forecasting arterial TTDs for TTR analysis is the focus of this dissertation. This dissertation proposes a new TTR methodology that is a marked improvement on recent TTR estimation and forecasting methodologies including the current …
