Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative key attribute for monitoring traffic performance of road infrastructure. As interchanges are major but rather limited designs in road networks, providing uninterrupted flow with high capacities, there is a no LOS concept developed for them. However, data collection capability via Bluetooth (BT) readers located at interchange approaches make it possible to collect continuous speed and travel time data for all possible movements, which can lead to a measure for LOS for interchanges, which is the main focus of this thesis. As a trial case BT readers were located to monitor traffic flows through a cloverleaf interchange in urban road network in Ankara during peak hours. Another cloverleaf interchange in Konya was accessorized with BT readers for a full-day observation. The results showed that while it was possible to monitor LOS for some of the movements in the interchange via BT reader data, some movements did not have enough readings in all time interval. Average speed reduction during peak periods was detected in the BT matching data, providing a promising outcome for future LOS development for cloverleaf interchanges.

Comprehensibility of traffic signs among urban drivers in Turkey
Kirmizioglu, Erkut; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (2012-03-01)
Traffic signs are commonly used traffic safety tools, mainly developed to provide crucial information in a short time to support safe drive; but the success depends on their comprehensibility by the drivers. Also, a sudden change in the traditionally used and accepted signs can cause significant safety problem, as in the case of cancellation of red oblique bars in 2004 as a part of the European Union Harmonization Process of Turkey.
Analysis of comprehension of traffic signs: a pilot study in Ankara, Turkey
Kırmızıoğlu, Erkut; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Traffic signs, which are extremely important for traffic safety, aims to regulate traffic by providing information about the characteristics of road and road environment for drivers. The success of traffic signs mainly rely on the easy comprehensibility of its meaning in a short time. Further more, today’s global economies and transportation systems emphasize the need for more universial traffic signs which was the main motivation of two main treaties on traffic signs; Vienna Convetion in 1968 and European ...
Detecting queue length on urban arterials using floating car data (FCD)
Altıntaşı, Oruç; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Tuncay, Kağan; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
Accurate estimation of queue lengths whether in the approach of a signalized intersection or near a bottleneck location along an uninterrupted urban arterial is essential for better traffic management. This requires reliable traffic data, which is traditionally obtained from loop detectors, video cameras, etc. More recently, Floating Car Data (FCD) is being increasingly used as an alternative traffic data source due to its lower cost and high coverage area. Commercially available FCD is obtained from GPS eq...
Detection of urban traffic patterns from Floating Car Data (FCD)
ALTINTAŞI, ORUÇ; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Tuncay, Kağan (Elsevier BV; 2016-09-07)
Real time data collection in traffic engineering is crucial for better traffic corridor control and management. In the literature, many data collection methods have been used such as; magnetic loops, road tube counters, piezo sensors, radars, Bluetooth etc. to estimate the link occupancy, average speed or density of a corridor. More recently, Floating Car Data (FCD) has become another important traffic data source and has an increasing usage due to its lower cost and higher coverage despite its reliability ...

The Traffic Climate Scale (TCS) measures the perceptions and attitudes of road users about the given traffic context with three dimensions: external affective demands, functionality, and internal requirements. The TCS was developed in Turkish and then translated into several languages. The main aim of the current study was to develop a shorter version of the TCS and to test the factor structures cross-culturally (i.e. Estonia, Greece, Kosovo, Russia, and Turkey). In addition, the five countries were compare...
