Modeling Origin-Destination Effects on Roundabout Operations and Inflow Control

Traffic flows around roundabouts have been found to be dependent on origin-destination flows, but the true nature of this relationship is not properly understood. Present analyses are based on either gap acceptance models or empirical models. These models do not properly account for the impact of origin-destination flows on roundabout operations. This has limited the possibility to develop stra...

Access Control on Networks with Unique Origin-Destination Paths

This paper presents improved time-dependent control strategies for small freeway networks with bottlenecks and unique origin-destination paths. It is assumed that there are no spill-overs from any of the freeway exits so that freeway queues and delays can be completely avoided by regulating access to the system so as to maintain bottleneck °ows strictly below capacity. It is also assumed that t...

Real-Time Destination-Call Elevator Group Control on Embedded Microcontrollers

We introduce new elevator group control algorithms that can be implemented to be real-time compliant on embedded microcontrollers. The algorithms operate a group of elevators in a destination call system, i. e., passengers specify the destination floor instead of the travel direction only. The aim is to achieve small waiting and travel times for the passengers. We provide evidence, using simula...

An AI-Based Approach to Destination Control in Elevators

control has become a major field of application for AI technologies. Techniques such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy rules and, recently, multiagent systems and AI planning have been adopted by leading elevator companies not only to improve the transportation capacity of conventional elevator systems but also to revolutionize the way in which elevators interact with and serve pass...
