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

Integration of Activity-based Modeling and Dynamic Traffic Assignment

The traditional trip based approach to transportation modeling has been employed for the past thirty years. However, due to the limitations of traditional planning for short-term policy analysis, researchers have explored alternative paradigms for incorporating more behavioral realism in planning methodologies. On the demand side, activity-based approaches have evolved as an alternative to trad...

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...

Dynamic System-optimal Traffic Assignment Using a State Space Model’

Abstract-We propose a new mathematical formulation for the problem of optimal traffic assignment in dynamic networks with multiple origins and destinations. This problem is motivated by route guidance issues that arise in an Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems (IVHS) environment. We assume that the network is subject to known time-varying demands for travel between its origins and destinations ...

Modeling Road Traffic Congestion by Quasi-Dynamic Traffic Assignment

The paper deals with simulation of congested road networks through dynamic traffic assignment models and presents a new quasi-dynamic traffic assignment model that improves realism and effectiveness of both usual static traffic assignment models and other quasi-dynamic models recently introduced in the literature, as it simulates flow progression onto the network by moving link flows according ...
