This study focuses on the morning commute problem with explicit consideration of cruising-for-parking, and its adverse impacts on traffic congestion. The cruising-for-parking is modeled through a dynamic aggregated traffic model for networks: the Macroscop ...
Cruising-for-parking constraints mobility in urban networks. Car-users may have to cruise for on-street parking before reaching their destinations. The accessibility and the cost of parking significantly influence people's travel behavior (such as mode cho ...
High level of detail renders microscopic traffic models impractical for control purposes and local control schemes cannot coordinate actions over large scale heterogeneously congested urban networks. Developing efficient models and control methods for larg ...
The focus of the thesis is the utilization of the data collected using state-of-the-art tracking technologies for the characterization and modeling of pedestrian movements. In this context, the main objectives are the development of (i) data-driven definit ...
While cascade phenomena have been broadly studied by physicists, understanding and modeling of congestion propagation in large urban city networks still remains a challenge. Most efforts are mainly based on micro-simulations of link-level traffic dynamics ...
It has been recently proposed and tested that traffic in large urban regions (neighbourhoods) can be modelled dynamically at an aggregate level, if the neighbourhoods are uniformly congested. By exploiting the insights and the properties of a macroscopic f ...
Recently, some studies examined how downtown parking space limitation re-shapes the morning commute in the case of a single origin-destination network. This paper further formulates and analyses the commuting equilibrium problem of both mode and departure ...
The main topological properties of a transportation network can be characterized using different criteria such as structure, the degree distribution of nodes, connectivity and some clustering aspects. Efficiency is a property of a network that identifies t ...
Recent studies have demonstrated that Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD), which provides. an aggregated model of urban traffic dynamics linking network production and density, offers a new generation of real-time traffic management strategies to improve ...
As traffic congestion becomes a huge problem for most developing and developed countries across the world, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are becoming a hot topic that is attracting attention of researchers and the general public alike. In this p ...
