A network’s transmission capacity is the maximal rate of traffic inflow that the network can handle without causing congestion. Here we study how to enhance this quantity by allocating resource to individual nodes while preserving the total amount of the resource available. We propose a...

We prove the convergence, in some strong sense, of a Markov process called “a misanthrope process” to the entropy weak solution of a one-dimensional scalar nonlinear hyperbolic equation. Such a process may be used for the simulation of traffic flows. The convergence proof relies on the...

This documentation and software provides a tool which enable a user to perform the following tasks regarding vehicle spacing:; calculate the minimum initial spacing between two vehicles, calculate the possibility and severity of collision between two vehicles, visualize the motion of the two...

This report defines a framework for comparing dynamic traffic models. It emphasizes four dimensions: functionality, traffic dynamics, route choice dy namics, and overall network performance. The first dimension compares the models through a check-list of model functions. Regarding the last three...
