Title: An Integrated Control Model for Managing Network Congestion
Accession Number: 01478287
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: An integrated control model is proposed in this paper to manage traffic congestion along a freeway and a parallel signalized arterial. This model focuses on diversion control, which seeks to utilize available capacity along parallel routes. It specifically considers the potential impact of diverting traffic to the performance of diverting route. For signalized arterial, the caused congestion can be reduced or eliminated by a maximum flow based signal control model. The integrated control model does not need the time-dependent traffic demand information as most of previous approaches do and it is suitable for online applications because of its extremely low computation burden. The model is tested using microscopic traffic simulation in the Interstate 394 and Trunk Highway 55 corridor in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The results indicate the model can effectively and efficiently reduce network congestion and improve system performance.
