The primary objective of this paper is to develop a combined variable speed limit (VSL) and
lane change guidance (LCG) controller to prevent secondary crashes (SCs) and improve …

Secondary crashes (SCs) or crashes that occur within the boundaries of the impact area of
prior, primary crashes are one of the incident types that frequently affect highway traffic …

Abstract According to the Federal Highway Administration, nonrecurring congestion
contributes to nearly half of the overall congestion. Temporal disruptions impact the effective …

It is challenging to perform emergency scheduling for fighting forest fires subject to limited
rescue resources (ie, vehicles with fire engines), since extinguishing each fire point should …

Secondary crashes occur within the spatial and temporal impact area of primary crashes,
resulting in traffic delays and safety problems. While most existing studies focus on the …

Traffic incidents are recognized as a key contributor to non-recurrent congestion, which
causes many negative effects in economy, environment, health and lifestyle. In this article …

This paper models an operation problem of an unmanned aerial vehicle for the emergency
medical service (UEMS) system. The model is set up as a location-allocation problem. The …

This paper introduces a model for freeway traffic dynamics under stochastic capacity-
reducing incidents, and provides insights for freeway incident management by analyzing …

Traditional emergency management studies have made resource allocation decisions to
serve the current emergency without knowing which future emergency will be occurring …

An uncertainty facility location allocation (FLA) problem is a complex nonlinear optimization
problem. Currently, researchers have discussed the stochastic cost/profit issues of FLA …
