Eco-driving strategies using reinforcement learning for mixed traffic in the vicinity of signalized intersections

A paper by Zhiwei Yang, Zuduo Zheng, Jiwon Kim and Hesham Rakha was published inTransportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies entitled “Eco-driving strategies using reinforcement learning for mixed traffic in the vicinity of signalized intersections”. The authors utilise the pNEUMA dataset instead of simulated trajectories toused to train and test the reinforcement learning methods. Highlights Abstract This study proposes autonomous…

The relation of traffic congestion and noise emissions using the pNEUMA dataset

A paper by Jasso Espadaler Clapés,Manos Barmpounakis and Nikolas Geroliminis was published inTransportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment entitled “Traffic congestion and noise emissions with detailed vehicle trajectories from UAVs”. The authors utilise the pNEUMA dataset to investigate the relation between noise emissions and traffic congestion. Abstract Excessive noise in cities due to road traffic negatively affects human health.…

Empirical investigation of the emission-macroscopic fundamental diagram

A new paper was published in Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment entitled “Empirical investigation of the emission-macroscopic fundamental diagram co-authored by LUTS members and Prof. Gonzales from University of Massachussets Amherts, USA. Highlights We analyse vehicle emissions in a multi-modal urban area using the pNEUMA dataset. EPA’s microscopic emission model, project level MOVES is implemented. We investigate aggregated…
