Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problems of urban traffic in the industrially developed countries have been at the top of the priority list for a long time. While making a critical contribution to the economic well being of those countries, transportation systems in general and highway traffic in particular, also have detrimental effects which are evident in excessive congestion, high rates of accidents and severe pollution problems. Scientists from different disciplines have played an important role in the development and refinement of the tools needed for the planning, analysis, and control of urban traffic networks. In the past several years, there were particularly rapid advances in two areas that affect urban traffic: 1. Modeling of traffic flows in urban networks and the prediction of the resulting equilibrium conditions; 2. Technology for communication with the driver and the ability to guide him, by providing him with useful, relevant and updated information, to his desired destination.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we propose novel computationally efficient optimization algorithms that derive effective traffic management strategies to reduce congestion and improve the efficiency of urban transportation systems. The proposed algorithms enable the use of high-resolution yet computationally inefficient urban traffic simulators to address large-scale urban transportation optimization problems in a computationally efficient manner. The first and the second part of this thesis focus on large-scale offline transportation optimization problems with stochastic simulation-based objective functions, analytical differentiable constraints and high-dimensional decision variables. We propose two optimization algorithms to solve these problems. In the first part, we propose a simulation-based metamodel algorithm that combines the use of an analytical stationary traffic network model and a dynamic microscopic traffic simulator. In the second part, we propose a metamodel algorithm that combines the use of an analytical transient traffic network model and the microscopic simulator. In the first part, we use the first metamodel algorithm to solve a large-scale fixed-time traffic signal control problem of the Swiss city of Lausanne with limited simulation runs, showing that the proposed algorithm can derive signal plans that outperform traditional simulation-based optimization algorithms and a commercial traffic signal optimization software. In the second part, we use both algorithms to solve a time-dependent traffic signal control problem of Lausanne, showing that the metamodel with the transient analytical traffic model outperforms that with the stationary traffic model. The third part of this thesis focuses on large-scale online transportation problems, which need to be solved with limited computational time. We propose a new optimization framework that combines the use of a problem-specific model-driven method, i.e., the method proposed in the first part, with a generic data-driven supervised machine learning method. We use this framework to address a traffic responsive control problem of Lausanne. We compare the performance of the proposed framework with the performance of an optimization framework with only the model-driven method and an optimization framework with only the data-driven method, showing that the proposed framework is able to derive signal plans that outperform the signal plans derived by the other two frameworks in most cases.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much effort has been made in the past on the supply side to relieve road traffic congestion which undermines the mobility in urban networks and brings heavy social costs, but building additional roadway capacity is no longer considered a viable option. A better alternative is the efficient management of existing networks, for which we can envisage new possibilities that emerge in light of the recent increase in the use of private providers' digital map and traffic information systems. These systems have evolved mostly without much public sector influence, but some paradigm shift is needed for thinking about the directions of future developments that will show societal benefits also open up private-sector opportunities. In this context, we develop a multi-agent advanced traffic management and information systems (ATMIS) framework with day-to-day dynamics where private agencies are included as traffic information service providers (ISPs) together with public agencies handling the traffic control and the users (drivers) as the decision-makers. One important paradigm shift is that the emergence of private ISPs makes it possible to obtain path-based data via retrieval of individual trajectory diaries and current position information from their subscribers. The availability of such path-based data can bring about the development of new path-based ATMIS algorithms. Such new algorithms can be capable of taking into account the routing effects of advanced traveler information systems (ATIS). Under the assumption that the traffic management center (TMC) has some (even approximate) knowledge of the ISPs' optimal strategies, it is possible to design optimal route guidance and control strategies (ORGCS) that takes into account the anticipated ISP reactions in terms of route-level flows. In light of these issues, we develop a routing-based real-time cycle-free network-wide signal control scheme (R2CFNet) that uses path-based data. The scheme also allows the avoidance of day-to-day games between ISPs and signal control through the use of weights on the queue delays in the control objective function. The weights are essentially operator parameters designed to incorporate ORGCS and day-to-day behavior. The proposed control scheme, of course, responds to detected traffic (demand) rates on a real-time basis in response to the control delays on network routes. Another theoretical advance in the research is in the development of a modeling scheme that uses a new optimization algorithm for a convergent simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) model. This model incorporates a Gradient Projection (GP) algorithm, as opposed to the traditionally-used Method of Successive Averages (MSA), and it displays significantly better convergence characteristics. A consistent day-to-day dynamic framework is also developed, incorporating an elaborate microscopic simulation model to capture traffic network performance, to study network dynamics under multiple private ISPs and the new signal control scheme. The results of parametric simulations have shown that the proposed framework is capable of effectively capturing the effects of the interplay of urban traffic route guidance, network control and user response. It is seen that an appropriate combination of ATIS market penetration rate and the special-purpose signal control settings could divert some portion of travel demand to different routes. This is achieved by constraining the signal settings to conform to certain longer-term strategies. The performance and efficiency of the components of the proposed framework such as the DTA model, the day-to-day dynamics model and the R2CFNet control scheme have been investigated through various numerical experiments that show promising results. Lastly, several future topics of relevance to the framework are discussed.

This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is focused on the discussion of the traffic assignment problem, the mathematical and practical meaning of variables, functions and basic principles. This work gives information about new approaches, methods and algorithms based on original methodological technique, developed by authors in their publications for the past several years, as well as corresponding prospective implementations. The book may be of interest to a wide range of readers, such as civil engineering students, traffic engineers, developers of traffic assignment algorithms etc. The obtained results here are to be used in both practice and theory. This book is devoted to the traffic assignment problem, formulated in a form of nonlinear optimization program. The most efficient solution algorithms related to the problem are based on its structural features and practical meaning rather than on standard nonlinear optimization techniques or approaches. The authors have carefully considered the meaning of the traffic assignment problem for efficient algorithms development.
