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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Macroscopic Modeling, Calibration, and Simulation of Managed Lane-Freeway Networks, Part I: Topological and Phenomenological Modeling
Matthew A. Wright, Roberto Horowitz, Alex A. Kurzhanskiy
To help mitigate road congestion caused by the unrelenting growth of traffic demand, many transit authorities have implemented managed lane policies. Managed lanes typically run pa…
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
We propose a macroscopic modeling framework for a network of roads and multi-commodity traffic. The proposed framework is based on the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards kinematic wave the…
Modeling Toll Lanes and Dynamic Pricing Control
Elena G. Dorogush, Alex A. Kurzhanskiy
In this paper we address the problem of dynamic pricing for toll lanes on freeways. The proposed toll mechanism is broken up into two parts: (1) the supply side feedback control th…
