One of the most important issues in traffic control is driver behavior while on the road and the reaction to specific perscriptive signals. Driver behavior can have a great impact on both traffic safety and on flow fluidity, and it can lead to a capacity reduction of an intersection. This reduction, giving rise to spillback phenomenon, may lead to congestion. This paper discusses the development of a methodology to construct models of the relationships between driver behavior, in particular, incorrect behavior, and specific conditions in traffic flow, within the environment and the requirements of the highway code. Considered are factors such as vehicle driven, sex, age of driver, and driving habits. The tool used was multilayered feedforward artificial neural networks with backpropagation learning. Three models have been implemented and they are discussed in some detail.

Traffic control systems are traditionally grouped into three main categories: fixed time, flow actuated and vehicle actuated systems. In cases actuated by flow and by traffic, detectors allow, by means of appropriate techniques, detection of flows and/or vehicles traveling on the various links leading to the junction. The paper argues that meny of the control methodologies presented as traffic responsive do not fully meet the requirements. It describes a model developed using a control system implemented by neural networks.

In an urban public transit system, the demand volume and the service level are affected by the transit operations plan. An effective operations plan should be drawn based on both the demand volume and the service level, and the demand volume will be affected by the service level. This paper describes the development of a two mode system of urban transit equilibrium integrating the mode choice model and the fuzzy multiobjective model. The artificial neural network will be used to establish the mode choice model. The fuzzy multiobjective model is used to formulate the optimal transit operations plan with uncertain parameters. A compensatory operator will be used to deal with the vague relationship between objectives and parameters. A supply-demand adjustment mechanism is devised to characterize the interaction of the two models. The model has been tested on a bus system.

This paper presents a method of estimating the speed flow density relationships from locally measured data sets using an analogy of backpropagation neural networks. The examples given are based on traditional local data with dynamic fluctuations, and the relationships obtained should not be regarded as steady state estimates but only as examples of the estimation procedure.

Three inputs to a typical backpropagation based artificial neural network (ANN) modelling procedure are the number of hidden units, the learning rate (LR), and the momentum constant (MC). These three inputs have a profound effect on the ANN training as well as the resulting behavior of a trained network. This paper follows research done for the purpose of modeling trip generation using regression analysis and ANNs. The paper first presents a brief introduction to the problem of trip generation, and then explains the database used for modeling. The results of backpropagation modeling are also presented, followed by conclusions and recommendations.
