A Semi-decentralized Control Strategy for Urban Traffic
Abstract We present in this article a semi-decentralized approach for urban traffic control, based on the TUC (Traffic responsive Urban Control) strategy. We assume that the control is centralized as in the TUC strategy, but we introduce a...

Real-time Bus Route State Forecasting Using Particle Filter: An Empirical Data Application
Abstract Buses on the same route tend to bunch when the system is uncontrolled. This lack of regularity leads to an increase in the average passenger waiting time, increases delays and makes travel times uncertain. A wide variety of solutions have...
