Realizing Wardrop Equilbria with Real-Time Traffic Information
L. C. Davis
A Wardrop equilibrium for multiple routes requires equal travel time on each path used. With real-time traffic data regarding travel times, it is important to analyze how to use th…
Driver Choice Compared to Controlled Diversion for a Freeway Double On-Ramp
L. C. Davis
Two diversion schemes that apportion demand between two on-ramps to reduce congestion and improve throughput on a freeway are analyzed. In the first scheme, drivers choose to merge…
Effect of adaptive cruise control systems on mixed traffic flow near an on-ramp
L. C. Davis
Mixed traffic flow consisting of vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control (ACC) and manually driven vehicles is analyzed using car-following simulations. Unlike simulations t…
Effect of cooperative merging on the synchronous flow phase of traffic
L. C. Davis
Cooperation in merging is introduced by adding interactions between pairs of vehicles in opposite lanes. Simulations with an improved version of the modified optimal velocity model…
