Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Traffic assignment models predict fraffic flows in networks and are essential for assessing networks performance, There are many traffic assignment programs; but few of these allow systematicaly for strict capacity constraints and explicit queueing and none seek to optimise the signals to improve network performance, taking route and mode choices into account.We propose (1) to extend our existing traffic assignment at York and Newcastle, which do already take account of strict capacity costraints and explicit queueing, so as to take correct account of rout-choices when setting signals; (2) to extend the programs to incorporate different user classes and modes and, using new ideas to Bell et. al. variability and (3) to demonstrate how these programs may be used to improve the control and managment of urban and motorway traffic, taking reasonable account of drivers' day to day route and mode choices. Gating strategies will be a essential part of the work,'We shall illustrate the economic, social and environmental benefits of managing traffic using existing signal controls on network models of (i) a part of Newcastle (including part of a motorway) and on York.
