Minimizing Traffic Delays for Parallel Road Networks Using an Information-Based Control Strategy

Abstract:

This study attempted to develop a control strategy in order to minimize the traffic delay caused by the traffic incident. The proposed strategy controls traffic in terms of providing a combination of different types of incident information. We used the cell transmission model as the underlying traffic flow model to take into accounts the traffic dynamic and use the simulated annealing algorithm to seek the optimal combination of the incident information. The numerical examples confirmed that providing incident information through the proposed control strategy can significantly reduce the traffic delay.
