Innovative traffic models and generative AI for sustainable mobility transition and improved traffic safety Hasselt University
Node models for macroscopic traffic simulation KU Leuven
Traffic signals and queues at intersections are major components of public transportation (transit) delay. Active transit signal priority (TSP) strategies are used as an effective way of reducing that delay. They can be divided in green split adjustment and phase resequencing measures. However, the effectiveness of TSP strategies is dependent on the traffic conditions, the frequency of priority requests, and their specific impact on the ...
Methods and tools for supporting the use, calibration and validation of traffic simulation models Hasselt University
Improving the Accuracy and Efficiency of Demand Calibration for Dynamic Traffic Models KU Leuven
Dynamic traffic assignment models involve hundreds of unknown parameters and consume considerable time for computation. Besides, the calibration process, which tries to calibrate demand (and supply) parameters to match the simulation output with real observations, is both methodologically and computationally challenging. Considering availability of the input data and field observations, the core of the OD (Origin-Destination) estimation is ...
Development of mathematical pilot models for fast-time ship manoeuvring simulation and traffic planning for harbour approach channels Ghent University
Ship manoeuvring simulation is widely applied when designing new navigation areas and for assessing channel safety. The research project uses intelligent control algorithms to develop a novel mathematical pilot model for fast-time manoeuvring simulations in complex situations and for shipping traffic planning. The results will be applied to selected cases in Flemish harbours and channels and in Chinese navigation areas.

Accelerating TrafficAssignment AlgorithmsOn traffic assignment software, compoundzoning and acyclicity in path sets KU Leuven
The overarching goal of this dissertation is to progress on computational challenges in the domain of traffic assignment models.
These models are used widely today to facilitate both operational and strategic decision-making by policymakers relating to vehicular traffic. A common example is infrastructure planning, where these models are used to assess the societal costs and benefits of proposed changes and also play a major role in ...
