Real-Time Travel Time Estimation Using Macroscopic Traffic Flow Models, Pushkin Kachroo, Kaan Ozbay, Antoine G. Hobeika

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research

This paper presents the estimation of travel time on highways based on macroscopic modelling. The focus is on real-time values as compared to average or static values. The macroscopic models are used for distributed and time/space lumped settings and corresponding travel time estimation functions and algorithms are developed. The implications of these algorithms for the implementation of various incident management and traffic control strategies are also discussed.


Investigating The Use Of Kalman Filtering Approaches For Dynamic Origin-Destination Trip Table Estimation, Pushkin Kachroo, Kaan Ozbay, Arvind Narayanan Apr 1997

Investigating The Use Of Kalman Filtering Approaches For Dynamic Origin-Destination Trip Table Estimation, Pushkin Kachroo, Kaan Ozbay, Arvind Narayanan

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research

This paper studies the applicability of Kalman filtering approaches for network wide traveler origin-destination estimation from link traffic volumes. The paper evaluates the modeling assumptions of the Kalman filters and examines the implications of such assumptions.
