Selfish Road Users - Case Studies on Rule Breaking Agents for Traffic Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many studies in the context of traffic simulation investigate effects of new regulation strategies on travel times. However, in most cases it is assumed, that these regulations are followed by all actors. This work investigates the effects of non-compliance of simulated road user agents. In particular it is analyzed to what extent rule breaking agents have advantages on the cost of the remaining road users. For evaluation we take into account three different scenarios: Overtaking prohibition for trucks on motorways, bicycles pushing to the front at traffic lights and pedestrians crossing roads in aggressive manner. In all scenarios, the fraction of rule breaking agents is varied. Simulation results show that rule breaking does not always lead to disadvantages for the remaining road users.

Dynamic Selfish Routing and Traffic Optimisation
This work surveys results from [18,19,20,21,22,23]. Recently, the Wardrop model has attracted a lot of attention as a model of selfish behaviour in routing scenarios. In this model, an infinite number of users controls an infinite amount of flow each. The overall flow induces latencies on the edges, and agents strive to minimise their sustained latency selfishly. Most of the studies on this mod...

متن کاملPrice of Anarchy for Routing Games with Incomplete Information
In this paper, we study a noncooperative traffic network where n users or agents need to send their traffic from a given source to a given destination over m identical, nonintersecting, parallel links. We consider a situation where each agent tries to send its traffic through the network in an entirely selfish manner, that is, aiming to minimize its individual delay. The model assumes that the ...
متن کاملAn Assessment of the Impact of Pedestrian Refuge Islands on Vehicle Speed Changes and Pedestrian Safety: Case Study in Tehran
Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users. Speed of vehicles is considered as one of the major causes of danger for pedestrians crossing the street. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to devise suitable solutions to reduce speed of vehicles. One of these solutions is installation of Pedestrian Refuge Islands (PRI) in very wide midblocks. With regard to fluctuations in pedestrian a...

Simulating large city traffic in microscopic is one of the fundamental technology to understand the nature of urban traffic. Also, nowadays, it is recognized that the variousness of driver behaviors plays an important role in overall traffic. In order to provide an experimental environment to simulate large city traffic with multiple driver behaviors, we designed and developed a large-scale mic...
