The adaptive dynamic programming signal control system for person in a connected vehicle environment Open
Urban person delay and congestion remain persistent challenges in modern traffic systems. Leveraging Connected Vehicle (CV) data, this study proposes a novel Person-Based Adaptive Control Algorithm (PB-ACA) to minimize average person delay…
“That’s a bit of a tight squeeze!”: A thematic analysis of narrow passage driving interactions using the Perceptual Cycle model Open
The ability to accurately represent driver behaviours in microscopic traffic models and for autonomous vehicles to discern human driving behaviours is reliant on having a deep understanding of the behaviour that is being modelled. In spite…
An Unequipped Vehicle State Estimation Algorithm to Augment the Person-Based Control in Low Connected Vehicle Penetration Rates via Deep Reinforcement Learning Open
This paper develops an Estimation of Unequipped Vehicle with Occupancy (EUVO) algorithm to predict departure times and occupancy levels for vehicles across different approaching lanes in mixed traffic environments containing both Connected…
Joining SUMO and Unreal Engine to Create a Bespoke 360 Degree Narrow Passage Driving Simulator Open
The use of simulators is widespread in driver behavioural research. The ability of driving simulators to achieve the high levels of behavioural fidelity desired by behavioural researchers is argued to be resultant of the physical fidelity …
Narrow passage interactions: A UK-based exploratory survey study to identify factors affecting driver decision-making Open
Narrow passage interactions have received increased attention from academics seeking to create behavioural models of the interaction and those looking to define how autonomous vehicles (AVs) should interact with their human counterparts in…
Provisioning Security in a Next Generation Mobility as a Service System Open
The urban mobility landscape is evolving at an amazing rate, with the number of mobility services growing rapidly around the world. This evolution has brought about the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) in providing transportation se…
A Random Forest Incident Detection Algorithm that Incorporates Contexts Open
A major problem faced by state of the art incident detection algorithms is their high false alert rates, which are caused in part by failing to differentiate incidents from contexts. Contexts are referred to as external factors that could …

Using automatic number plate recognition data to investigate the regularity of vehicle arrivals Open
This paper uses automatically-recorded vehicle number plate data from a network of 22 cameras in Dorset, UK, to investigate the extent to which regular trip making can be determined using the regularity of individual vehicle arrival times …
A hybrid metaheuristic for the time-dependent vehicle routing problem with hard time windows Open
This article paper presents a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm to solve the time-dependent vehicle routing problem with hard time windows. Time-dependent travel times are influenced by different congestion levels experienced throughout the d…
