Spatial Models of Morning Commute Consistent with Realistic Traffic Behavior
Spatial Models of Morning Commute Consistent with Realistic Traffic Behavior by Alejandro Lago Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering — Civil and Environmental Engineering University of California, Berkeley Carlos F. Daganzo, Chair Urban planners are increasingly concerned about the sprawling suburban development in metropolitan areas around the world, which they often blame for growing traffic co...
متن کاملMorning Commute in a Single-Entry Traffic Corridor with No Late Arrivals
This paper analyzes a model of early morning traffic congestion, that is a special case of the model considered in Newell (1988). A fixed number of identical vehicles travel along a single-lane road of constant width from a common origin to a common destination, with LWR flow congestion and Greenshields’ Relation. Vehicles have a common work start time, late arrivals are not permitted, and trip...
متن کاملNumerical solution procedures for the morning commute problem
This paper discusses solution techniques for the morning commute problem that is formulated as a discrete variational inequality (VI). Various heuristics have been proposed to solve this problem, mostly because the analytical properties of the path travel time function have not yet been well understood. Two groups of ‘‘non-heuristic’’ algorithms for general VIs, namely projection-type algorithm...
متن کاملCongestion Behavior and Tolls in a Bottleneck Model with Stochastic Capacity
In this paper we investigate a bottleneck model in which the capacity of the bottleneck is assumed stochastic and follows a uniform distribution. The commuters’ departure time choice is assumed to follow the user equilibrium principle according to mean trip cost. The analytical solution of the proposed model is derived. Both the analytical and numerical results show that the capacity variabilit...
متن کاملReliability of Freeway Traffic Flow: a Stochastic Concept of Capacity
The paper introduces a new understanding of freeway capacity. Here capacity is understood as the traffic volume below which traffic still flows and above which the flow breaks down into stop-and-go or even standing traffic. It is easy to understand that a capacity in this sense is by no means a constant value. Empirical analysis of traffic flow patterns, counted at 5minute intervals over severa...
