Methods for Designing Signalized Double-Intersections with Mixed Traffic in Vietnam
Abstract In the current Vietnamese urban, there are existences of two close at-grade intersections, which are defined as double-intersections. Traffic congestion at these intersections occurs frequently, especially in rush hours. The most considered ...

A New Node Model based on CTM-UT with Capacity Determination
Abstract Despite the results obtained in literature to improve the macroscopic node model it is necessary to consider a general node model approach. A general node approach could take into account different aspects about conflicts at intersections....
