Improving City Mobility through Gridlock Control: an Approach and Some Ideas
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines the effect of gridlock on urban mobility. It defines gridlock and shows how it can be modeled, monitored and controlled with parsimonious models that do not rely on detailed forecasts. The proposed approach to gridlock management should be most effective when based on real-time observation of relevant spatially aggregated measures of traffic performance. This is discussed in detail. The ideas in this paper suggest numerous avenues for research at the empirical and theoretical levels. An appendix summarizes some of these.
