GIS-based Dynamic Traffic Congestion Modeling to Support Time-Critical Logistics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Time-critical logistics (TCL) refer to time-sensitive procurement, processing and distribution activities. A confounding factor is the transportation networks that contain these logistic systems. This paper reports on a GIS-based decision support system for dynamic congestion modeling and shortest path routing in TCL. The system predicts network flow at detailed temporal resolutions and solves for the combined departure time and shortest path required for a shipment to reach its destination by a given deadline. The GIS provides effective decision support through its database management capabilities, graphical user interfaces and cartographic visualization. This supports analyses of "what-if?" scenarios regarding network disruptions.

Gis-based Multi-agent Traffic Micro Simulation for Modelling the Local Air Pollution
Air pollution from motor vehicles is one of the most serious and rapidly growing problems in metropolitan areas. It is occurred especially in major arterial streets inside the metropolitan central district because of the heavy traffic congestion suffering. Although transportation networks operate as an integrated system, at a regional level we can safely assume that local urban congestion will ...

Accomplishing an effective routing of emergency vehicle will minimize its response time and will thus improve the response performance. Traffic congestion is a critical problem in urban area that influences the travel time of vehicles. The aim of this study is developing a spatial decision support system (SDSS) for emergency vehicle routing. The proposed system is based on integration of geospa...
متن کاملA GIS-based Traffic Control Strategy Planning at Urban Intersections
For having better and up to date traffic information access, spatio-temporal GIS for transportation (TGIS-T) needs to interact with the intelligent transport systems (ITS). Advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) is one of the components of the ITS and predicts traffic congestion and provides real time traffic information and optimal control strategies for freeways and arterials. ATMS needs ...
متن کاملAn Optimal Dynamic Control Method for an Isolated Intersection Using Fuzzy Systems
Traffic flow systems are nonlinear and uncertain, so it is very difficult to find their optimal points. In traditional traffic control systems, the traffic lights of crossings change in a fixed time period that is not optimal. On the other hand, most proposed systems are sufficiently capable of coping with the uncertainties of traffic flow. To solve this problem, there is a need to develop expe...
