Abstract (AI)
Traffic congestion in urban road and freeway networks leads to a strong degradation of the network infrastructure and accordingly reduced throughput, which can be countered via suitable control measures and strategies. After illustrating the main reasons for infrastructure deterioration due to traffic congestion, a comprehensive overview of proposed and implemented control strategies is provided for three areas: urban road networks, freeway networks, and route guidance. Selected application results, obtained from either simulation studies or field implementations, are briefly outlined to illustrate the impact of various control actions and strategies. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of future needs in this important technical area.
Key Findings
1
It surveys both proposed and implemented control measures, covering simulation-based evaluations and field applications.
2
Selected application results demonstrate that different control actions and strategies can influence traffic-network performance.
3
The paper identifies future research and implementation needs for improving traffic control in congested networks.
4
The review categorizes road-traffic control strategies into urban road networks, freeway networks, and route guidance.
5
Urban traffic congestion accelerates road-network infrastructure deterioration and reduces network throughput.
Research Object
Road traffic networks (urban road and freeway networks and route guidance systems)
Research Subject
traffic control strategies and their effects on congestion, infrastructure deterioration, and network throughput
