A population-based incremental learning algorithm to identify optimal location of left-turn restrictions in urban grid networks

Murat Bayrak et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a population-based incremental learning (PBIL) algorithm to determine left-turn restrictions at intersections in order to maximize the network's operational performance. The algorithm is effective at identifying near-optimal configurations, suggesting that left turns should generally be restricted at intersections with the highest flow. This approach provides additional intersection capacity and reduces additional travel distance.

Analytical and Microsimulation Model Calibration and Validation: Application to Roundabouts under Sight-Restricted Conditions

Gyounghoon Chun et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the calibration and validation efforts of analytical models and microsimulation models under sight-restricted conditions. Drone captured videos and a specialized data collection scheme are used to analyze the operations of different approaches at a single-lane roundabout. The results from both platforms confirm the importance of model calibration in accurately describing field performance.

Congested Urban Networks Tend to Be Insensitive to Signal Settings: Implications for Learning-Based Control

Jorge Laval et al.

Summary: This paper highlights the impact of several properties of large urban networks on machine learning methods for traffic signal control. It shows that the average network flow is independent of signal control policy as density increases, making random policy ineffective for a large family of networks. The paper also demonstrates the ineffectiveness of deep reinforcement learning methods when trained under congested conditions, and suggests discarding congested data during training to improve performance. The findings emphasize the significant impact of turning probability on network symmetry and the potential of supervised learning methods.

Identification of Optimal Left-Turn Restriction Locations using Heuristic Methods

Murat Bayrak et al.

Summary: Restricting left turns can improve overall flow capacity by eliminating conflicts, but may result in longer trips. Implementing restrictions at select locations helps balance this tradeoff, but identifying the optimal locations is complex due to various configurations and interdependencies.

Capacity of Mini-Roundabouts: A New Model

Werner Brilon et al.

Summary: The estimation of capacity for mini-roundabouts is a topic of discussion, with existing methods failing to consider the specific traffic operations at these narrow intersections. A new model was proposed to accommodate the peculiarities of mini-roundabouts, resulting in reduced total intersection capacity compared to current German guidelines. Further calibration and tests for practicality are recommended.
