Urban traffic modeling and analysis

Urban traffic modeling and analysis is part of the advanced traffic intelligent management technologies that has become a crucial sector of Traffic management and control. Its main purpose is to predict congestion states of a specific urban transport network and propose improvements in the traffic network. Researches rely on three different informations. Historical and recent information of a traffic network about its density and flow, a model of the transport network infrastructure and algorithms referring to both spatial and temporal dimensions. The final objective is to provide a better optimization of the traffic infrastructure such as traffic lights. Those optimizations should result into a decrease of the travel times, pollution and fuel consumption. To survey and manage traffic infrastructures, cities can provide themselves with Intelligent transportation system (ITS) which are especially meaningful in densely urbanized areas. They provide the possibility to better analyze and manage a transport network impact of external factors within a short-term vision, with the daily fluctuate density of the transport network. And over a long term vision, with changes as th increase of motorization, urbanization, population growth and changes in population density. At another end, motorists can use Advanced traveler information system (ATIS) which bring processed data to the end user to help him taking the best directions. Researchers work on different level to make progress into traffic analysis, by collecting traffic data from different sources, modeling traffic flows and network, and developing algorithms to either predict traffic states in a far or a short-term future.

How Do Traffic Signals Work?

Traffic management in dense urban areas is an extremely complex problem with a host of conflicting goals and challenges. One of the most fundamental of those challenges happens at an intersection, where multiple streams of traffic - including vehicles, bikes and pedestrians - need to safel

Simone Göttlich: Traffic flow models with non-local flux and extensions to networks

We present a Godunov type numerical scheme for a class of scalar conservation laws with nonlocal flux arising for example in traffic flow modeling. The scheme delivers more accurate solutions than the widely used Lax-Friedrichs type scheme and also allows to show well-posedness of the mode

The Problem of Traffic: A Mathematical Modeling Journey

How can we mathematically model traffic? Specifically we will study the problem of a single lane of cars and the perturbation from equilibrium that occurs when one car brakes, and that braking effect travels down the line of cars, amplifying as it goes along, due to the delayed reaction ti
