“…Like ATOM, both SCATS and TRANSYT [36]- [39] opt to reduce the number of stops and consequently the trip delay, in city settings. ATOM and SCATS control traffic light signals (TLSs) in collaboratively at multiple intersections based on real-time traffic information; meanwhile TRANSYT precomputes phases and signal timings offline considering only intersections individually without coordination.…”

Dynamic management of vehicular traffic congestion to maximize throughput in urban areas has been drawing increased attention in recent years. For that purpose, a number of adaptive control algorithms have been proposed for individual traffic lights based on the inflow rate. However, little attention has been given to the traffic throughput maximization problem considering real-time road conditions from multiple intersections. In this paper, we formulate such a problem as maximum integer multi-commodity flow by considering incoming vehicles that have different outgoing directions. Then, we propose a novel adaptive traffic light signal control algorithm which opts to maximize traffic flow through and reduce the waiting time of vehicles at an intersection. The proposed algorithm adjusts traffic light signal phases and durations depending on real-time road condition of local and neighboring intersections. Via SUMO simulation, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in terms of traffic throughput and average travel time.

“…The travel process of bus passenger can be divided into five steps: (1) plan to travel at origin; (2) arrive at bus station; (3) wait at bus station; (4) get on the bus; and (5) get off the bus and go to the destination. The psychological expectation of passengers at each step is analyzed in Figure 1.…”

Abstract:To improve the mode share of public transport and reduce the transition to private transport of passengers waiting at bus station, the mechanism of passengers' decision-making procedure and influence factors of the travel mode choice were analyzed. Some latent variables such as safety, comfort, convenience, flexibility and economy were selected to reflect the satisfaction degree of passengers on the service level of public transport. Taking Jinan City as an example, the questionnaire of passengers' travel choice behavior at bus station was designed and carried out. Based on the structure equation model (SEM), the relationship between the satisfaction degree and some latent variables such as safety and comfort was discussed. The SEM method analysis shows that, of the influence level of the latent variables to the service level of public transport, flexibility is the most significant variable affecting passenger's satisfaction degree followed by safety, convenience, comfort and economy. Travel mode choice model of passengers waiting at bus station was established with an integration approach of SEM and nested logit (NL) model. The SEM-NL integration model results reveal that gender, monthly income, purpose of the trip, travel distance, safety and convenience service level have a significant effect on the choice of the upper model (public transport or private transport). Passenger's age, vehicle ownership and bus ride frequency have great influence on the choice of the lower mode (ORB: original route bus; ARB: alternative route bus; Taxi; and Shared bike). Sensitivity analysis reveals that the transition probabilities from private transport to public transport can reach the highest point (respectively, 69.85%, 68.84% and 35.51%) when safety service reaches level 4, convenience service reaches level 3, or comfort service reaches level 2, indicating that the safety level equal to 4, convenience level equal to 3 and comfort level equal to 2 are the key threshold to increase the public transport mode share. Some proposals such as ensuring good accessibility of public transport, shortening the transfer distance of different routes, creating a comfortable travel environment and integrating bus ticket system have been put forward for the sustainable development of public transport system.

This paper presents an overview of the tram safety in the city of Constantine. The objective of this work is to contribute to the improvement of railway safety of a new urban transport mode in Algeria, whose safety culture is absent in the behaviour of citizens, in the face of major risks linked to the operating of Constantine's tram. In this context this article focuses on four parts: safety and risk management, railway risks, analysis of accidents, safety system and human factors (tram driver). This paper discusses the main issues, challenges and future directions of public transportation safety on these themes.
