Origin-destination Matrix Estimation for the Active Traffic Management Project
نویسنده
چکیده
The Highways Agency (HA) is developing the concept of Active Traffic Management (ATM) schemes which will coordinate operational regimes such as controlled use of the hard shoulder as a running lane, variable speed limits and ramp metering. The pilot ATM scheme is planned to be implemented on the eastern section of the M42 between Junctions 3a and 7 by 2006. To ensure the success of all these measures, and to enable the network to be managed safely and effectively, knowledge of the behaviour of the traffic on the network is vital.

Traffic Simulation-Based Dynamic Origin-Destination Traffic Demand Estimation for Intelligent Transportation Systems
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have received a great deal of attention in overcoming traffic-associated problems by implementing online traffic management, which inevitably depends on the accurate dynamic traffic demand. Dynamic Traffic Demand is a fundamental input for simulation-based Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models to describe and predict traffic conditions on the network o...
متن کاملThe Origin–Destination Matrix Estimation Problem — Analysis and Computations
For most kind of analyses in the field of traffic planning, there is a need for origin– destination (OD) matrices, which specify the travel demands between the origin and destination nodes in the network. This thesis concerns the OD-matrix estimation problem, that is, the calculation of OD-matrices using observed link flows. Both time-independent and time-dependent models are considered, and we...
متن کاملEstimation of Origin-destination Trip Matrices for Small Cities
The paper presents a model of data assessment for the requirements of a classical four-step model of traffic demand in individual traffic in small cities. The procedure is carried out by creating an initial origin-destination trip matrix using data from the traffic count and by defining the average rate of trip generation within single households. The research applied fuzzy logic for the correc...
متن کاملFuzzy Modelling of Sensor Data for the Estimation of an Origin-Destination Matrix
This paper examines a short-time estimation problem of an origin-destination (OD) matrix, where each element is a volume of vehicle flow between one of the OD pair of zones of a signalised junction. The estimation is based on the use of traffic measurements provided by video sensors and on the knowledge of the traffic lights. This data is subject to redundancy, imprecision and uncertainty. The ...
متن کاملThe Elevator Trip Origin-Destination Matrix Estimation Problem
We present a constraint programming formulation for the elevator trip origin-destination matrix estimation problem, and propose different approaches to solve the problem. An elevator trip consists of successive stops in one direction of travel with passengers inside the elevator. It can be defined as a directed network, where the nodes correspond to the stops on the trip, and the arcs to the po...
