Applying Two-parameter Weibull Distribution to Model Stochastic Capacity of Arterial Roads During Peak Hours due to Changing Proportion of Heavy Vehicles
Abstract:Despite the increasing number of heavy vehicles (HVs) on the road, little attention is paid to the impact of HVs on traffic flow. Due to their different physical characteristics (length and size) and operational characteristics (acceleration and deceleration) compared to other vehicles, HVs have a physical and psychological impact on the traffic around them. On the other hand, many studies done on changes in road capacity yield a single value of road capacity. In this study, however, the road capacity is analy… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
