TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT ON A RECTANGULAR GRID NETWORK WITH ADVANCE TRAFFIC INFORMATION

In this study, the author compares changes in traffic flow during incidents with and without advance information on a two-level hierarchical rectangular grid network with spatially distributed trip origins and destinations. The study begins with a description of the problem, followed by the grid network model assumptions. Traffic conditions during the incident, proceeding systematically from no information to complicated route guidance information, are then described.
