The Entropy of Conditional Markov Trajectories

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Mohamed Kafsi

To quantify the randomness of Markov trajectories with fixed initial and final states, Ekroot and Cover proposed a closed-form expression for the entropy of trajectories of an irreducible finite state Markov chain. Numerous applications, including the stud ...

Framework for real-time traffic forecasting methodology under exogenous parameters

André-Gilles Dumont, Sofia Samoili

Ensuing from the deteriorating conditions of road networks, traffic forecasting techniques with mathematical and computer-theory methods have been employed to address the real-time prediction of traffic conditions and their dynamic control, with the optimu ...

Mean Field for Markov Decision Processes: from Discrete to Continuous Optimization

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Nicolas Gabriel Gast

We study the convergence of Markov decision processes, composed of a large number of objects, to optimization problems on ordinary differential equations. We show that the optimal reward of such a Markov decision process, which satisfies a Bellman equation ...

Analyzing fluctuations in car-following

Many car-following models predict a stable car-following behavior with a very small fluctuation around an equilibrium value g∗ of the net headway g with zero speed-difference Δv between the following and the lead vehicle. However, it is well-known and addi ...

Operational macroscopic modeling of complex urban intersections

Gunnar Flötteröd

This article describes a new approach to the macroscopic first order modeling and simulation of traffic flow in complex urban road intersections. The framework is theoretically sound, operational, and comprises a large body of models presented so far in th ...

Considering weather in simulating traffic

André-Gilles Dumont, Ashish Bhaskar, Minh Hai Pham, Sofia Samoili

The impact of weather on traffic and its behavior is not well studied in literature primarily due to lack of integrated traffic and weather data. Weather can significant effect the traffic and traffic management measures developed for fine weather might no ...

An Empirical Analysis on the Arterial Fundamental Diagram

Nikolaos Geroliminis

For uninterrupted traffic flow, it is well-known that the fundamental diagram (FD) describes the relationship between traffic flow and density under steady state. For interrupted traffic flow on a signalized road, it has been recognized that the arterial f ...

Agent-Based Routing in Queueing Systems

Olivier Gallay

Waiting time in any network is often a costly and hence a bad experience. Therefore, to avoid jamming regions becomes essential in the optimization of traffic flows. In this regard, the conception and the control of complex networks supporting flows of uni ...

Impact of variations in travel demand and network supply factors for evacuation studies

Traffic simulation models are frequently used to support decisions when planning an evacuation. These models typically focus on traffic dynamics and the effect of traffic control measures in order to locate possible bottlenecks and predict evacuation times ...

Mean field for Markov Decision Processes: from Discrete to Continuous Optimization

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Nicolas Gabriel Gast

We study the convergence of Markov Decision Processes made of a large number of objects to optimization problems on ordinary differential equations (ODE). We show that the optimal reward of such a Markov Decision Process, satisfying a Bellman equation, con ...
