Traffic Control and Demand Profile Changes: the Case of Athens
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper provides an empirical investigation of the potential impacts of advanced traffic control measures, such as route guidance information, on traffic flow patterns. The simulation-based quasi-dynamic traffic assignment model (DNA) used appears to be an efficient tool for capturing the demand profile changes of drivers under the presence of information-based control measures. The results obtained from the implementation of DNA in the Greater Athens Area network manifested the significant impact of routing on traffic flow patterns, particularly in terms of path spreading, whilst the largest benefits for drivers were derived for updating period of 15-30 minutes.

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...

متن کاملEvaluating the importance of dynamic allocation and routing of rescuers in reducing response time
Due to delay in receiving emergency medical services, a high number of injured people and patients annually lose their lives. Determining the medical service area and correct routing of rescuing operation is influential on the reduction of rescuers’ response time. Changing the traffic flow leads to change of medical service area. Therefore, it is expected that by observing changing traffic, the...

Isolated scaphoid dislocations are extremely rare injuries and are commonly associated with significant ligamentousdisruptions. A dorsiflexion-supination force upon the hand is considered as the most common mechanism of injury.Different treatment options have been proposed for the management of this uncommon entity, ranging from conservativetreatment with closed reduction and casting to a wide ...
متن کاملIdentifying and Analyzing Stop and Go Traffic based on Asymmetric Theory of Driving Behavior in Acceleration and Deceleration
Stop and go traffic that leads to oscillate traffic flow frequently is observed on congestion flow. Unexpected reasons such as lane – changing maneuvers, lower speeds of leader vehicle and moving bottleneck cause stop and go traffic and amplifying delay and environment impacts. Stop and go traffic exactly can’t be modeled by traffic models, and also car following models based on kinematic flow ...
