Dynamic Traffic Assignment Based Evacuation Planning for CBD Areas

Evacuation Planning Using the Integrated System of Activity-based Modeling and Dynamic Traffic Assignment

Visual Analytics for Dynamic Evacuation Planning

We use visual analytics to assist human experts in the verification of evacuation schedules and enable them to identify the bottle-necks in building evacuation. The user can change parameters, such as the number of occupants present in the rooms, the parametric settings for fire simulation, the building design, etc. and analyze their effect on evacuation. Visualization of the people flow in the...

Comparison of Simulation-based Dynamic Traffic Assignment Approaches for Planning and Operations Management

Transportation practice is increasingly recognizing the need for dynamic models for realistic scenario analyses and policy decision-making. Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) theory and tools are now thought to be sufficiently advanced to meet this need. However, DTA has historically been associated with mesoscopic models, motivated by the perceived computational intractability of high-fidelity m...

Literature Review of Traffic Assignment: Static and Dynamic

Rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. In the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. With traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. Four s...

A Strategic Model for Dynamic Traffic Assignment

We propose a model of dynamic traffic assignment where strategic choices are an integral part of user behaviour. The model provides a discrete-time description of flow variation through a road network involving arcs with rigid capacities. A driver’s strategy assigns, to each node of the network, a set of arcs in the forward star of that node, sorted according to a preference order. The main ele...
