Real-time travel time estimation using macroscopic traffic flow models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the estimation of travel time on highways based on macroscopic modelling. The focus is on real-time values as compaved to average or static values. The macroscopic models are used for distributed and timehpace lumped settings and corresponding travel time estimation functions and algorithms are developed. The implications of these algorithms for the implementation of various incident management and trafic control strategies are also discussed.

On Calibration and Application of Logit-Based Stochastic Traffic Assignment Models
There is a growing recognition that discrete choice models are capable of providing a more realistic picture of route choice behavior. In particular, influential factors other than travel time that are found to affect the choice of route trigger the application of random utility models in the route choice literature. This paper focuses on path-based, logit-type stochastic route choice models, i...
متن کاملAn Application of a Neural,-kalman Filter for Dynamic Estimation of O-d Travel Time and Flow with the Different Number of Traffic Detectors*
The authors have been engaged in developing a new paradigm for estimating dynamic O-D travel time and flow on a freeway corridor. The fundamental framework is to 1) develop a Neural-Kalman filter (NKF) method, which is a new algorithm by integrating artificial neural network (ANN) model into a Kalman filter, 2) introduce a macroscopic model for predicting traffic states in advance and 3) estima...
متن کاملIncident-Related Travel Time Estimation Using a Cellular Automata Model
The purpose of this study was to estimate the drivers’ travel time with the occurrence of an incident on freeway. Three approaches, which were shock wave analysis, queuing theory and cellular automata models, were initially considered, however, the first two macroscopic models were indicated to underestimate travel time by previous literature. A microscopic simulation model based on cellular au...
متن کاملAn Alternative Approach to Centroids and Connectors Pattern: Random Intra-Zonal Travel Time
In traditional traffic assignment procedure, each traffic analysis zone is represented by one point in its geometric center which is connected to the network by several connectors. Results of studies show that different connector patterns would result up to 10% change in estimated volume and up to 20% change in total travel time. Also the different patterns of connectors can change the priority...
متن کاملA neuro-fuzzy approach to vehicular traffic flow prediction for a metropolis in a developing country
Short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. The strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. This paper establishes the applicatio...
