TL;DR: In this paper, a variable speed limit (VSL) control algorithm for simultaneously maximizing the mobility, safety and environmental benefit in a Connected Vehicle environment is presented, where a multi-objective optimization function is formulated with the aim of finding a balanced trade-off among mobility and sustainability.

TL;DR: In this article, a multinomial logit model was used to identify the factors determining the severity of pedestrian-vehicle crashes in South Korea, and the results showed that relative to minor crashes, fatal and serious crashes were associated with collisions involving heavy vehicles; drivers who were drunk, male or under the age of 65; pedestrians who were over 65 or female.

TL;DR: This paper provides a crystallized, comprehensive overview of the concept of RL and its related methods and presents related successful applications in the field of traffic control and transportation engineering.

TL;DR: In this article, a critical literature review of the relationship between public transportation and sustainability is presented, which offers a review of key sustainable transportation concepts and how public transport contributes to sustainability goals.

TL;DR: The authors conclude that improving the connectivity of train service, reducing multimodal transfers, and increasing dedicated right-of-ways for transit would effectively increase transit ridership in Calgary and the use of an intelligent transportation system including transit signal priority, advance traveler’s information system, and real-time information on bus arrival times would increase positive perceptions of the transit reliability and convenience.
