Minimal Waiting Times in Static Traffic Control

Minimal waiting times in static traffic control

The paper discusses the question of the optimal control of an unsymmetric bottleneck system with Poisson arrival processes having the minimization of the mean individual waiting time as objective. The setup allows the straightforward generalization to more complicated forms of traffic organization. The notion of the mean individual waiting time is based on a theorem of the Little type, which is...

Feedback control of waiting times.

Feedback loops are known as a versatile tool for controlling transport in small systems, which usually have large intrinsic fluctuations. Here we investigate the control of a temporal correlation function, the waiting-time distribution, under active and passive feedback conditions. We develop a general formalism and then specify to the simple unidirectional transport model, where we compare cos...

Balancing the Waiting times in a Simple Traffic Intersection Model

We propose a novel dynamical model of a simple traffic intersection, where the state variables represent the queue lengths and the mean waiting times in the queues. Including the mean waiting times in the model allows for a more fair traffic control, where the waiting times of the individual vehicles in the various streets of the intersection are taken into account to some degree. The model is ...

Enschede Waiting times at periodically switched one - way traffic lanes

We study vehicle waiting times at a traffic lane that is shared by traffic from two directions. In contrast to crossovers, we focus on instances where the vehicle passing time of the shared infrastructure can be large. The motivation for this model arises from our research on underground transportation systems. We examine vehicle waiting times under periodic control rules, i.e. the driving dire...
