Measuring Urban Traffic Congestion – a Review
Trac congestion has been one of major issues that most metropolises are facing. It is believed that identi cation of congestion is the rst step for selecting appropriate mitigation measures. Congestion both in perception and in reality impacts the movement of people. Trac congestion wastes time, energy and causes pollution. ere are broadly two factors, which e±ect the congestion; (a) micro-le...
متن کاملPredictability of Road Traffic and Congestion in Urban Areas
Mitigating traffic congestion on urban roads, with paramount importance in urban development and reduction of energy consumption and air pollution, depends on our ability to foresee road usage and traffic conditions pertaining to the collective behavior of drivers, raising a significant question: to what degree is road traffic predictable in urban areas? Here we rely on the precise records of d...
متن کاملA variational model for urban planning with traffic congestion
We propose a variational model to describe the optimal distributions of residents and services in an urban area. The functional to be minimized involves an overall transportation cost taking into account congestion effects and two aditional terms which penalize concentration of residents and dispersion of services. We study regularity properties of the minimizers and treat in details some examp...
متن کاملUrban Traffic Congestion Index Estimation With Open Ubiquitous Data*
Traffic congestion index (i.e., TCI) is a metric for measuring urban road congestion degree. Since traffic congestion has been one of the major issues in most metropolises, it is a crucial demand to know the TCI of every road segment at every time slot. However, it is a challenging task, because the TCI sensors (e.g., road-side sensors, floating vehicles, etc.) are limited in spatial or tempora...
متن کاملDistributed Vehicular Traffic Congestion Detection Algorithm for Urban Environments
Vehicular traffic congestion is a well-known economic and social problem generating significant costs and safety challenges, and increasing pollution in the cities. Current intelligent transport systems and vehicular networking technologies rely heavily on the supporting network infrastructure which is still not widely available. This paper contributes towards the development of distributed and...
