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 کاملUrban Vehicle Congestion Pricing: A Review
Drivers in urban neighborhoods who cruise streets, seeking inexpensive on-street parking create a significant fraction of measured traffic congestion. The solution to this problem is to reduce the total traffic volume including cruising traffic by implementing a congestion pricing scheme: the imposition of a usage fee on a limited-capacity resource during times of high demand. We review the his...
متن کاملMeasuring the Congestion Responsiveness of Internet Traffic
A TCP flow is congestion responsive because it reduces its send window upon the appearance of congestion. An aggregate of nonpersistent TCP flows, however, may not be congestion responsive, depending on whether the flow (or session) arrival process reacts to congestion or not. In this paper, we describe a methodology for the passive estimation of traffic congestion responsiveness. The methodolo...
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 کاملTitle : Measuring the Effects of Traffic Congestion on Fuel
1 Nowadays, road transportation sector is responsible for a considerable amount of the total energy 2 consumption, also contributing to about 20-30% of the total man-made CO2 emissions 3 worldwide. 4 In metropolitan areas, the problem is compounded by the effect of traffic congestion. 5 Transport models, online route planners, and the latest versions of on-board navigators do take 6 into accoun...
