Every report that is published by ITS Edulab since its foundation in 2006 is published on this website. The growing knowledge bank is a showcase of what ITS Edulab and its students stand for.
New students will get a better idea of the challenges in their preferred area of traffic related sciences. But first of all, the papers help road authorities and other professionals in their work to provide us with a better and safer road network.

Ramp metering: A microscopic control approach – A case study in the Netherlands
Efforts have been undertaken to reduce congestion levels on the road. A traffic management solution that does not rely on… Read More
Resilience in road networks
The resilience of a road network indicates the magnitude and consequences of a disruption, which can be events such as… Read More
Robust model-based optimization of evacuation guidance
Large scale disasters, such as floods and fires, cause many casualties. This risk of casualties is reduced by evacuating the… Read More
Route guidance and signal control based on the back-pressure algorithm
Bad traffic conditions can be improved by regulating traffic demand and network capacity. Dynamic Traffic Management (DTM) systems allocate temporal… Read More
Separation of freeway traffic flows by dynamic lane assignment
The thesis deals with the separation of freeway traffic using dynamic lane assignment. Different user groups or vehicle types can… Read More
Short-term traffic prediction in road traffic control centres
The current state-of-the-practice in the Dutch operational road traffic management is mostly based on experience: the traffic manager judges the… Read More
Shortening signal timings of vehicle-actuated controllers by using communicating, automated vehicles
Intersections are the bottleneck of traffic flow. Vehicle-actuated control improved the delay at an intersection by making the green phase… Read More
Speed limits and their effect on capacity
In this thesis an investigation is performed into the effects of different speed limits on capacity. Much is known about… Read More
The Effect of Network Structure and Signal Settings on the MFD
Recently it has been proposed that the performance of a complete network can be represented graphically using only aggregated data… Read More
The influence of dynamic route guidance systems on traffic management
At the end of 2007 a new route guidance application for individual road travellers became available: a dynamic route guidance… Read More
