A model to evaluate heavy vehicle effect in motorway traffic flow
Highway operating conditions are also determined by interactions between passenger cars and heavy vehicles in the flow. Therefore, a suitable model which describes and predicts the heavy vehicle effect can be useful to achieve more realistic criteria to evaluate the Level of Service (LOS) for infrastructures in the uninterrupted flow. After reviewing briefly the models available in literature to take account of the effects on operating conditions due to heavy vehicles, the paper examines some traffic data analysis of the Italian A22 motorway and later presents a closed-form traffic model for heavy vehicles via the queuing theory. Some applications of this model are displayed for operational…
Calibration of Speed-Density Relationships for Freeways in Aimsun
The first application of a calibration methodology which uses speed-density relationships in the microsimulation calibration process is described in this article. Traffic patterns were implemented developing speed-density relationships for empirical and simulated data. For empirical relationships reference was made to traffic data observed at A22 Freeway (Italy). Aimsun microscopic traffic simulator software was then used to obtain analogous relationships for a test freeway segment under uncongested traffic conditions. Thus on field conditions were reproduced varying some calibration parameters until a good matching between field and simulation was achieved. The closeness between empirical …
A microsimulation calibration methodology based on speed-density relationships for freeways
This paper describes the calibration methodology based on speed-density relationships in the microsimulation calibration process, stated that they represent the traffic flow phenomenon in a wide range of operational conditions and well summarize all the information that may be collected on field (or following a run of the microsimulation model) on two of the three key variables of traffic flow. The matching of speed-density relationships from field and simulation was evaluated using statistical analysis as technique of pattern recognition. A test freeway segment under uncongested traffic conditions was selected as case study; based on traffic data observed at A22 Brenner Freeway, Italy, sta…
Study of Atrp Process for the Grafting of Vinyl Monomers on PVC and PVDF
STUDY OF ATRP PROCESS FOR THE GRAFTING OF VINYL MONOMERS ON PVC AND PVDF Sonia Lanzalaco, Onofrio Scialdone, Alessandro Galia, Rosalia Mauro, Flavia Lazzano Dipartimento di Ingegneria Chimica, Gestionale, Informatica, Meccanica, Viale delle Scienze, Palermo e-mail: sonia.lanzalaco@unipa.it ATRP (atom transfer radical polymerization) has been recently used to prepare graft copolymers with regularly-spaced polymer chains from polymeric macroinitiators that have pendant chemical groups containing radically transferable halogen atoms [1]. The halogen atom serves as initiation site for the polymerization of side chains. Furthermore, Matyjaszewsky and Gennaro showed that an externally applied ele…
