Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have been proposed as vectors for more sustainable mobility, the adjective “sustainable” being understood as the union of usefulness for society (i.e., efficiency), environmental friendliness, and ...

Autonomous driving is expected to revolutionize road traffic attenuating current externalities, especially accidents and congestion. Carmakers, researchers and administrations have been working on autonomous driving for ...

Input-output cumulative count curves are a powerful tool to forecast freeway travel times in the very short term, as they rely on the predictive information given by the vehicles' accumulation in the target section. ...

Travel time is probably the most important indicator of highway level of service, and it is also the most appreciated information for highway users. Administrations and private companies make increasing efforts to improve ...

La cantidad de preconceptos que los alumnos poseen antes de abordar el estudio de un tema influye de manera notable en la adquisición de nuevos conocimientos. Se ha diseñado una estrategia de enseñanza aprendizaje basada ...

Cycling constitutes a clean, healthy, and low-cost mode of transport. Therefore, the promotion of cycling is currently one of the main goals of administrations around the word. Former studies have shown that safety perception ...

A platoon can be defined as a group of consecutive vehicles that exchange information, so that they drive in a coordinated way, allowing very small spacings and still travelling at relatively high speeds. The concept of ...

The platooning of connected automated vehicles (CAVs) is a promising cooperative driving strategy, especially suited for freeway uninterrupted traffic. This paper presents a microscopic simulation approach to the modeling ...

Technological advances revolutionize industrial processes, science, communications, and our way of life. However, developed societies have reached a stage in which the fascination with technological innovations often results ...
