Congestion Reduction in EV Charger Placement Using Traffic Equilibrium Models
Semih Kara, Yasin Sonmez, Can Kizilkale +3
Growing EV adoption can worsen traffic conditions if chargers are sited without regard to their impact on congestion. We study how to strategically place EV chargers to reduce cong…
Detecting Braess Routes: an Algorithm Accounting for Queuing Delays With an Extended Graph
Mikhail Burov, Can Kizilkale, Alexander Kurzhanskiy +1
The Braess paradox is a counter-intuitive phenomenon whereby adding roads to a network results in higher travel time at equilibrium. In this paper we present an algorithm to detect…
Improving Urban Traffic Throughput with Vehicle Platooning: Theory and Experiments
Stanley W. Smith, Yeojun Kim, Jacopo Guanetti +7
In this paper we present a model-predictive control (MPC) based approach for vehicle platooning in an urban traffic setting. Our primary goal is to demonstrate that vehicle platoon…
Safety Challenges for Autonomous Vehicles in the Absence of Connectivity
Akhil Shetty, Mengqiao Yu, Alex Kurzhanskiy +3
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are promoted as a technology that will create a future with effortless driving and virtually no traffic accidents. AV companies claim that, when fully dev…
Macroscopic Modeling, Calibration, and Simulation of Managed Lane-Freeway Networks, Part II: Network-scale Calibration and Case Studies
Matthew A. Wright, Roberto Horowitz, Alex A. Kurzhanskiy
In Part I of this paper series, several macroscopic traffic model elements for mathematically describing freeway networks equipped with managed lane facilities were proposed. These…
Balancing Safety and Traffic Throughput in Cooperative Vehicle Platooning
Stanley W. Smith, Yeojun Kim, Jacopo Guanetti +3
In this paper we propose a distributed model predictive control architecture to coordinate the longitudinal motion of a vehicle platoon at a signalized intersection. Our control ap…
Throughput-Improving Control of Highways Facing Stochastic Perturbations
Li Jin, Alexander A. Kurzhanskiy, Saurabh Amin
In this paper, we study the problem of traffic management in highways facing stochastic perturbations. To model the macroscopic traffic flow under perturbations, we use cell-transm…
A Dynamic-System-Based Approach to Modeling Driver Movements Across General-Purpose/Managed Lane Interfaces
Matthew A. Wright, Roberto Horowitz, Alex A. Kurzhanskiy
To help mitigate road congestion caused by the unrelenting growth of traffic demand, many transportation authorities have implemented managed lane policies, which restrict certain…
Making intersections safer with I2V communication
Offer Grembek, Alex Kurzhanskiy, Aditya Medury +2
Intersections are hazardous places. Threats arise from interactions among pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles, more complicated vehicle trajectories in the absence of lane markings,…
Effect of Adaptive and Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control on Throughput of Signalized Arterials
Armin Askari, Daniel Albarnaz Farias, Alex A. Kurzhanskiy +1
The paper evaluates the influence of the maximum vehicle acceleration and variable proportions of ACC/CACC vehicles on the throughput of an intersection. Two cases are studied: (1)…
Measuring Impact of Adaptive and Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control on Throughput of Signalized Intersections
Armin Askari, Daniel Albarnaz Farias, Alex A. Kurzhanskiy +1
To properly assess the impact of (cooperative) adaptive cruise control ACC (CACC), one has to model vehicle dynamics. First of all, one has to choose the car following model, as it…
Derivation, calibration and verification of macroscopic model for urban traffic flow. Part 2
Andrey E. Alekseenko, Yaroslav A. Kholodov, Aleksandr S. Kholodov +4
In this paper, we propose a unified procedure for calibration of macroscopic second-order multilane traffic models. The focus is on calibrating the fundamental diagram using the co…
Generalizing second order macroscopic models via relative velocity of disturbances propagation in traffic flow
Yaroslav A. Kholodov, Andrey E. Alekseenko, Aleksandr S. Kholodov +2
In this paper, we present a new approach that generalizes the existing second-order hydrodynamic traffic models. In the proposed approach, we use the expression for the relative ve…
Macroscopic Modeling, Calibration, and Simulation of Managed Lane-Freeway Networks, Part I: Topological and Phenomenological Modeling

A dynamic system characterization of road network node models
Matthew A. Wright, Roberto Horowitz, Alex A. Kurzhanskiy
The propagation of traffic congestion along roads is a commonplace nonlinear phenomenon. When many roads are connected in a network, congestion can spill from one road to others as…
On node models for high-dimensional road networks
Matthew A. Wright, Gabriel Gomes, Roberto Horowitz +1
Macroscopic traffic models are necessary for simulation and study of traffic's complex macro-scale dynamics, and are often used by practitioners for road network planning, integrat…
A new model for multi-commodity macroscopic modeling of complex traffic networks
Matthew Wright, Gabriel Gomes, Roberto Horowitz +1
