A Kinematic Wave Dynamic Network Loading Model Including Intersection Delays

This paper presents a method for including intersection delays in a flow-based traffic model. The original Multi-Commodity Link Transmission Model (MC LTM), a Dynamic Network Loading (DNL) model that is consistent with kinematic wave theory, is extended with delayed urban intersection models. Travel time as a function of traffic load becomes a monotonically increasing function, which is a desirable property in view of equilibrium calculation in DTA.
