We model the information traffic on scale-free networks considering the packets’ limited lifetime. In previous papers, an order parameter η, which reflects the accumulation of packets, has been employed to estimate traffic congestion; if η0, the traffic system is in the congestion state....

Clever assignments of link weights are able to change communication routes in such a way that loads are distributed almost evenly across a network. This is achieved by weight assignments based on the link load. As demonstrated for scale-free as well as synthetic Internet networks, they...

Highway construction occurs nowadays mainly through widening of ex- isting roads rather than building new roads. This paper documents that highway widenings considerably reduce congestion in the short run, defined here as 6 years. Using longitudinal microdata from highway detector loops in the...

The paper develops a short-term space-time traffic flow forecasting strategy integrating the empirical-based seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) time-series forecasting technique with the theoretical-based first-order macroscopic traffic flow model-cell transmission model....

This paper calibrates on-line the parameters of a controller-estimated driver behavior model used in a deployable behavior-consistent approach for real-time route guidance by checking the consistency between the time-dependent actual and estimated system states. The behavior model has a fuzzy...

We examine the eff ect of citywide parking policy on parking and traffic demand. Using a large increase in on-street parking prices for the city of Amsterdam, we show that the policy caused a substantial drop in on-street parking demand, which is not off set by an increase in off -street demand....
