Accommodating driver preferences in reservation - based urban traffic management ∗ ( Extended

چکیده
In this paper we combine two different economically inspired mechanisms, acting at intersection and at network level, respectively, to accommodate driver preferences in reservation-based urban traffic management. At intersection level, intersection manager agents assign space-time chunks through combinatorial auctions, while at network level a pricing scheme, based on general market equilibrium, accounts for an efficient use of network resources. Our experiments show that this combined approach on the one hand allows drivers to effectively improve their travel times if they are willing to pay more money for their trip, while on the other hand the negative impact on social welfare (average travel times) is unnoticeable.

متن کاملA market-based approach to accommodate user preferences in reservation-based traffic management
Removing the human driver from the control loop by the use of autonomous vehicles and the integration of these with the traffic management infrastructure is a challenging long-term vision for the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Setting out from a recently proposed urban infrastructure that allows for autonomous vehicles to individually reserve space and time inside an interse...
متن کاملDeveloping a Model of Heterogeneity in Driver’s Behavior
Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) is a well-known microscopic model of traffic flow within the traffic engineering societies. While it is a powerful technique for modeling traffic flows, the Intelligent Driver Model lacks the potential of accommodating the notion of drivers’ heterogeneous behavior whenever they are on roads. Concerning the above mentioned, this paper takes the lane to recognize th...
متن کاملA market-inspired approach to reservation-based urban road traffic management
Urban road traffic management is an example of a socially relevant problem that can be modelled as a large-scale, open, distributed system, composed of many autonomous interacting agents, which need to be controlled in a decentralized manner. Most models for urban road traffic management rely on control elements that act on traffic flows. Dresner and Stone have put forward the idea of an advanc...
متن کاملRest Areas Management; the Effect of Demographic Information into Users’ Preferences for Planning Parameters of Rest Areas
Rest areas have been built on the freeway to avoid traffic accidents and drowsiness so that road travelers can rest. These supplemental rest areas are very small-sized resting facilities located between the larger regular rest areas, which is a unique design. However, the management of rest areas and their accommodations need to be improved by considering the effective factors involved. In this...
