Traffic Flow Models and the Evacuation Problem
In our paper, we consider several models for traffic flow. The first, a steady state model, employs a model for car following distance to derive the a traffic flow rate in terms of empirically estimated driving parameters. From this result, we go on to derive a formula for total evacuation time as a function of the number of cars to be evacuated. The steady state model is analytically convenien...
متن کاملEVAQ: An Evacuation Model for Travel Behavior and Traffic Flow
Traffic simulation models are helpful or even indispensable while planning or managing an evacuation. A multitude of dynamic traffic models have been developed to this end to understand and predict evacuation conditions on a road network, and the effect of traffic regulations and control measures hereon. In many earlier studies, evacuation is recognized as a special case regarding different tra...
متن کاملPhase diagram of congested traffic flow: An empirical study
We analyze traffic data from a highway section containing one effective on-ramp. Based on two criteria, local velocity variation patterns and expansion (or nonexpansion) of congested regions, three distinct congested traffic states are identified. These states appear at different levels of the upstream flux and the on-ramp flux, thereby generating a phase digram of the congested traffic flow. O...
متن کاملDerivation and Empirical Validation of a Refined Traffic Flow Model
The gas-kinetic foundation of fluid-dynamic traffic equations suggested in previous papers [Physica A 219, 375 and 391] is further refined by applying the theory of dense gases and granular materials to the Boltzmann-like traffic model by Paveri-Fontana. It is shown that, despite the phenomenologically similar behavior of ordinary and granular fluids, the relations for these cannot directly be ...
متن کاملMulti-camera Based Traffic Flow Characterization & Classification
We describe a system that employs the use of an omnidirectional camera in tandem with a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera in order to characterize traffic flows, analyze vehicles, and detect and capture anomalous behaviors. The framework is such that we can generate long-term statistics of traffic patterns while still monitoring unusual activity, even apart from the traffic zone. We use the PTZ in con...
