A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR OPTIMISATION OF TRAFFIC OPERATIONS PERFORMANCE

This paper describes a model which is used to optimize the traffic operating conditions to obtain the desirable situation of traffic operation performance in terms of total passenger productive capacity and to analyze traffic related environmental impacts. The results of the model application for three scenarios are discussed with respect to level of service, maximum vehicle service capacity, environmental impacts and total productive capacity. The results revealed that the mathematical model is a useful tool in traffic operations performance evaluation and traffic generated environmental pollution analysis.
