A global urban road network self-adaptive simplification workflow from traffic to spatial representation - Scientific Data
Urban road network is crucial for understanding and revealing the spatial logic of urban organization and evolution. However, existing urban road network datasets like OpenStreetMap are designed for traffic studies, treating each lane as a distinct spatial unit of mobility, which may not align with urban studies considering each road as an integration space for social and cultural dynamics. This study established a novel workflow to self-adaptively transform the global urban road network from t…

The Effect of the Gotthard Base Tunnel on Road Traffic: A Synthetic Control Approach
The opening of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in 2017, the longest railway tunnel in the world, marked a milestone in Swiss transport policy.

Enhancing Car-Following Models with Bike Dynamics for Improved Traffic Simulation
Road traffic simulations are crucial for establishing safe and efficient traffic environments. They are used to test various road applications before real-world implementation. SUMO is a well-known simulator for road networks and intermodal traffic, often used in conjunction with other tools to test various types of applications. Realistic simulations require accurate movement models for different road users, such as cars, bicycles, and buses. While realistic models are already implemented for …

We did mini mid-pandemic road trip to the Interior and found ourselves in a heatdome induced smokey hellscape in Lillooet. Just down the highway… the day before, after hitting the highest temperature ever recorded in Canada 49.6°C, Lytton,BC was completely destroyed by fire after a train (allegedly) sparked a fire that moved like lightning through the town. It still is not fully rebuilt. 😢 Just a few buildings.
We managed to get out of the smoke as we drove a little further north and east to Cache Creek, stopping at a lake to swim. It was nice. But it seemed like there was fire everywhere around us.
This was the first time we got to drive our new Kona EV on a long distance trip. It performed wonderfully. And the kind shop owner let us plug it in to the wall outlet at the hotel.

Decentralized Pliable Index Coding For Federated Learning In Intelligent Transportation Systems
Federated Learning is a promising option for data privacy and security in ITS, because it allows edge devices, Road Side Units (RSUs), and Central Server (CS) to jointly train the machine learning model. Since RSU collects data from the vehicles passing through its range, the local data of each RSU will have a non-IID distribution, which adversely affects the convergence speed and accuracy of FL training. Generating synthetic data locally at individual nodes, followed by data shuffling among th…

The impact of the following vehicles behaviors on the car following behaviors of the ego-vehicle
Among all types of crashes, rear-end crashes dominate, which are closely related to the car-following (CF) behaviors. Traditional CF behavior models focused on the influence of the vehicle in front, but usually ignored the peer pressure from the surrounding road users, including the following vehicle (FV). Based on an open dataset, the highD dataset, we investigated whether the FV's states can affect the CF behavior of the ego-vehicle in CF events. Two types of CF events were extracted from hig…

Edinburgh sees “statistically significant” shift towards cycling and walking plus reduced car use following introduction of low emission zone, finds study
Within a year, the LEZ has contributed in improving air quality, with the number of non-compliant vehicles entering the zone also decreasing significantly

Cycling in Ribble Valley
#Cycle routes
The Ribble Valley has miles of scenic country roads of which many are ideal for riding your bicycle. To the right are some downloadable maps and leaflets detailing these routes.​​​​

paris_transportation: Paris Transportation (2016)
A multiplex transportation network of Ile-de-France, jointly representing the road network, train network, and subway network. Nodes are intersections, rail stations or metro stations. Different modes of transportation are given by different layers. Within-layer edges represent direct transference by a particular mode of transportation, and between-layer edges represent the conjunction of those layers at that node.

Using Language and Road Manuals to Inform Map Reconstruction for Autonomous Driving
Lane-topology prediction is a critical component of safe and reliable autonomous navigation. An accurate understanding of the road environment aids this task. We observe that this information often follows conventions encoded in natural language, through design codes that reflect the road structure and road names that capture the road functionality. We augment this information in a lightweight manner to SMERF, a map-prior-based online lane-topology prediction model, by combining structured road…

us_roads: United States roads (2000)
The road networks of the 50 US States and the District of Columbia based on UA Census 2000 TIGER/Line Files. Edges are stretches of road and vertices are intersections of roads. The data sets were assembled by Dominik Schultes. The 'merged' network contains all the states merged together.
This network has 308401 nodes and 385164 edges.
