Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) has been studied for more than four decades and numerous reviews of this research area have been conducted. This review focuses on the travel choice principle and the model classifications of DTA, and is supplementary to the existing reviews. The implications of the travel choice principle for the existence and uniqueness of solutions of DTA are discussed, and t...

In this paper, we address the question of dynamic network provisioning for time-varying traffic rates, with the objective of maximizing the system throughput. We assume that the network is capable of providing bandwidth guaranteed traffic tunnels for an ingress-egress pair and present an approach that (1) updates the tunnel routes and (2) adjusts the tunnel bandwidths, in an incremental, adapti...

Dynamic road traffic assignment models can be used explicitly to represent and analyse route choice and travel times in networks for which the demand for travel varies over time and congestion arises. Static models cannot represent this phenomenon in a satisfactory manner. Despite the long-term research activity and the several approaches that have been introduced, no dominant approach has emer...

one of the methods for the improvement of soil against the tensile stresses is using the artificial supplements in soil such as metal belts or nets, polymer materials and natural fibers. technically this method is called the reinforced of soil.  when a pavement is located on soft soil, great deformations can occur as a result of the crossing of traffic load in superstructure layers of the body....

Abstract: A control architecture for resource allocation in satellite networks is proposed, along with the specification of performance indexes and control strategies. The latter, besides being based on information on traffic statistics and network status, rely upon some knowledge of the fading conditions over the satellite network channels. The resource allocation problem consists of the assig...

The traditional trip based approach to transportation modeling has been employed for the past thirty years. However, due to the limitations of traditional planning for short-term policy analysis, researchers have explored alternative paradigms for incorporating more behavioral realism in planning methodologies. On the demand side, activity-based approaches have evolved as an alternative to trad...

Channel assignment in multi-channel multi-radio wireless mesh networks is a powerful resource management tool to exploit available multiple channels. Channels can be allocated either statically based on long-term steady state behavior of traffic or dynamically according to actual traffic demands. It is a common belief that dynamic schemes provide better performance; however, these two broad cla...

This is a tutorial paper on the traffic grooming optimization in mesh Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks for static traffic patterns. The traffic grooming technique provides a two-layer traffic engineering capability by aggregating and routing low-bandwidth traffic flows from the upper layer over re-configurable highbandwidth connections in the lower layer. This paper demonstrates ...
