The purpose of this doctoral study is to advance the state of the art of the simulation and modeling of transportation systems by addressing some of the limitations of state-of-the-practice models such as the inability to deal with large amounts … more
- Predicting lane utilization and merge behavior at signalized intersections with auxiliary lanes: A Buffalo, New York, study
Level: M.S.
Student: Jay Ring M.S.
Advisor: Adel W. Sadek Ph.D.
Auxiliary through lanes (ATLs) are often used to increase the capacity at signalized intersections. The effectiveness of these lanes is a direct function of the level of their utilization by motorists, which tends to be significantly lower than … more
