Coordinated Traffic Flow Control in a Connected Environment

  • Principal Investigator Petros Ioannou, Ph.D.
  • University of Southern California
This project will investigate how connectivity provided by vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) technologies can be used to develop traffic flow control systems that will enhance mobility and safety, and reduce queues at ramps with positive benefits to transportation efficiency and environment.

Coordinated Traffic Flow Control in a Connected Environment

Research Product Type
Research Report
Some field studies have observed reductions in travel time by coordinating freeway ramps with adjacent arterial signals. To advance the investigation, the researchers propose an integrated traffic management strategy that involves variable speed limit, lane change, ramp metering for freeway traffic flow control, and a traffic-responsive signal control scheme for adjacent traffic light intersections.

Dataset: Dynamic Ride-Sharing with HOV Lanes and Meeting Points

Research Product Type
Data
This data is from the project, Dynamic Routing for Ridesharing. The data is randomly generated within grids where each unit of the grid represents a 1-mile by 1-mile square. It is used to generate the origins and destinations of passengers.

Dataset: Hyperlocal monitoring of traffic-related air pollution to assess near-term impacts of sustainable transportation interventions

Research Product Type
Data
This dataset is related to a project proposing a low-cost, measurement-based approach for assessing the impacts of sustainable traffic interventions on local air pollution. he chosen testbed location is the City of Riverside Innovation Corridor, a six-mile roadway that services downtown Riverside, the University of California, Riverside, and several businesses and community organizations.
