REAL-TIME DIVERSION STRATEGIES FOR CONGESTED URBAN NETWORKS

Traffic diversion that uses available capacity in the highway network during a congestion-causing event, is a potential measure that has not been fully exploited. The goal of this research is to develop an effective tool that can formulate diversion strategies in real time. This research addresses a major issue of the Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) component of Intelligent Vehicle/Highway Systems (IVHS). This paper presents the overall research framework and details of the above two models. This research is proposed to be applied to the Northern Virginia urban area as a case study, utilizing the Traffic Control Center in Arlington, Virginia.
