Traffic problems in towns
(2017)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungTravel behavior in urban areas has been widely analyzed from the demand side, while the extent to which the infrastructure imposes constraints on such travel behavior and leads to delays and congestion has almost never been studied. For car-based transportation, the recently developed theory of the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) describes the relationship between the accumulation of vehicles and their trip ending rate as a function ...Working Paper -

Introducing a re-sampling methodology for the estimation of empirical macroscopic fundamental diagrams
(2017)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThe uncertainty in the estimation of the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) under real- world traffic conditions and urban dynamics, might result in an inaccurate estimation of the MFD parameters - especially if congestion is rarely observed network-wide. For example, if the observed data does not exhibit a distinct congested branch, it is hard to determine the network capacity and critical density. Similarly, as the data normally comes ...Working Paper
