TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Travel time in case of accident prediction model JO - Procedia - social and behavioral sciences A1 - Domenichini, Lorenzo A1 - Salerno, Giorgio A1 - Fanfani, Francesco A1 - Bacchi, Moreno A1 - Giaccherini, Andrea A1 - Costalli, Luigi A1 - Baroncelli, Camilla SP - 1078 EP - 1087 VL - 53 IS - N2 - The aim of this paper is to estimate the travel time along a motorway section, both in undisturbed condition and taking into account a perturbation due to an accident. The estimated travel time is calculated adding the travel time under normal traffic conditions, the time used settling the accident area and the time needed to dissolve the queue. To be applied the model requires the knowledge of accident characteristics, the traffic flow at the accident time and the value of the reduced capacity during the accident management. The model refers to traffic conditions and accident management procedures typical of motorways.
