▼ Autonomous vehicles (AVs) may soon be publicly available and are expected to increase both network capacity and travel demand. Reduced safety margins from computer precision may increase network capacity and allow for more efficient intersection controls. AVs also offer the option of repositioning trips to avoid parking fees or share the vehicle between household members, which may increase the total number of vehicle trips and decrease the relative utility of transit. Since AVs may be available within one or two decades, which is within the span of long-term planning models, practitioners may soon wish to predict the effects of AVs on traffic networks. This thesis modifies the four-step planning model commonly used by practitioners to include AV behaviors and capacity improvements. Because dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) offers more realistic flow propagation and intersection control options, the four-step model is modified to incorporate DTA with endogenous departure time choices. To facilitate modeling of AV intersections, the tile-based reservation (TBR) control policy is simplified into a conflict region (CR) model compatible with general simulation-based DTA and with greatly improved computational tractability. Results suggest that although the total number of personal-vehicle trips may almost double (due to repositioning trips to the origin to avoid parking costs), increases in network and intersection capacity can mostly offset or even improve network conditions. Use of dynamic flow propagation instead of static travel time functions in the four-step model results in predictions of increased average travel speed although both static and dynamic planning models predict a high reliance on repositioning trips (i.e., empty-vehicle travel). To study AV behaviors in DTA, this thesis first integrates DTA into the four-step model with the addition of departure time choice. This model alone may be useful for practitioners as departure time modeling is a major concern with DTA planning models. Also, the TBR intersection policy has only been studied in micro-simulation with heuristic routing strategies. The CR model opens this new technique to study under UE behavior, which is the first step for the bridge between technology demonstration simulations to models practitioners can use to evaluate implementation. . Therefore, the models developed here for the purposes of predicting AV trip and mode choices may themselves become useful tools for other applications.

▼ This dissertation proposes two new models and discusses two applications of day-to-day dynamic models. A generalized invariance theorem is adopted to investigate the stability issues of these models when the widely-used Lyapunov’s second theorem and Lasalle’s invariance principle are not applicable. Flow dynamics incorporating tradable credit scheme and congestion pricing scheme are investigated. The effectiveness of both schemes can be assured under mild conditions. The first model combines traveler’s perceiving, learning and route switching behavior while assuring nonnegative flows. With separable link travel time functions, the dynamic path flows converge to the Wardrop’s user equilibrium path flow set. In the second model, the rational behavior adjustment process in Yang and Zhang (2009) is extended to incorporate boundedly rational user equilibrium. Specific models are constructed and numerical examples are conducted for demonstration. The first application of day-to-day dynamics is to investigate the price and flow dynamics of a tradable credit scheme. A continuous dynamic model in a finite time horizon is proposed to describe travelers’ learning behavior and the evolution of network flows and credit price. Existence and uniqueness of the equilibria are established. The conditions for stability and convergence of the dynamic system as the time horizon extends to infinity and the impact of limited implementation time horizon on the system behavior are investigated. The second application examines the availability of a trial-and-error toll scheme with day-to-day flow dynamics. The trial-and-error method was proposed in Yang et al. (2004) for discovering system optimal flow pattern and toll scheme with the absence of demand functions: the links tolls were firstly calculated based on some target flow pattern and then imposed on the network, after which the user equilibrium flow pattern was instantly reached and utilized to update the target flows. In this dissertation, the assumption on the instantaneous realization of user equilibrium in Yang et al. (2004) is relaxed and their iterative scheme is extended for implementing the road pricing in a traffic network with day-to-day flow dynamics and evolution. The path flows are assumed to evolve following the “excess travel cost dynamics” during each inter-trial period and the user equilibrium state may not be achieved at the end of each inter-trial period. With mild assumptions on the flow evolution process, the trial-and-error method is still applicable to identify the system optimal link tolls and decentralize the system optimal flows, while neither the demand functions nor the mechanism of the flow evolution are explicitly required. A methodology is developed for both updating the toll charges and choosing the inter-trial periods to assure the iterative approach converging towards the system optimum. Some numerical examples are conducted to support the theoretical findings.

▼ With the development of modern technology, advanced GPS tracking solutions offer us the best opportunity to learn the citys traffic knowledge. Travel cost on road segments is the important hidden knowledge in the metropolitan city, which can be leveraged by travel route planning, traffic event discovery, and citys fraud detection, etc. This paper addresses the problem of travel cost estimation and prediction on road network with a not only innovative but also practical solution. Although some previous work deal with the same topic, they estimate travel cost on road segments based on the spatial and temporal smoothness of adjacent neighbors, which is unreasonable under some circumstances. Other works predicting travel cost ignore the obstacle of data sparsity by not predicting the travel cost of road segments without traffic data. In viewing this defect, we proposed the methodology to estimate and predict travel cost based on objects similarity. To be more specifically, we define the spatial temporal dividing sample as the minimal unit whose travel cost is to be estimated or predicted. Knowledgeable samples present those who have traffic data points, and their travel cost can be estimated by the traffic data. While unknowledgeable samples are those who encounter the problem of data sparsity, and have no estimation of travel cost since the lack of traffic data points. By extracting both the static and dynamic features for those samples, we profile them and apply the clustering algorithm on them to identify similar samples. Within each cluster, we leverage the artificial neural network to build the mapping relationship between knowledgeable samples features and their travel cost. With the help of this mapping relationship, we finally infer the clusters unknowledgeable samples travel cost. In terms of travel cost prediction, based on the intuition that similar road segments share similar travel cost pattern, we put all the road segments into different clusters and share the observed traffic data in the same cluster to overcome the obstacle of data sparsity. And finally we leverage the time series predicting model to predict the travel cost in the future. We evaluate our methodology on one-month real traffic data from Shanghai. The experimental results on both small data set and large data set show the validity and practicality of our methodology.

▼ This Thesis focuses on developing robust dynamic route guidance algorithms to reduce traffic congestion in roadway networks. While recurring traffic congestion is normally the focus in planning and investment decisions, almost half of traffic congestion is caused by non-recurring traffic disturbances, primarily caused by incidents, vehicle breakdowns, extreme weather events, etc. In order to reduce traffic congestion, we focus on the problem of understanding the effect of traffic disturbances and reducing their impact on roadway networks. We introduce a systematic framework for defining the context of robustness based on the severity, frequency and predictability of traffic disturbances and for developing a robust design for roadway networks based on network design goals. We also present methods to speed up traffic assignment algorithms through compiler optimizations and parallelism, to efficiently measure the effect of traffic disturbances, and enable real-time ITS applications including dynamic route guidance systems. Next, we introduce a hybrid metric for measuring robustness in a roadway network by extending the shortest-path betweenness metric from network science, and augmenting it with links weights based on dynamic traffic flow metrics. Finally, we implement a robust dynamic traffic assignment algorithm for roadway networks based on this metric and test it on a large-scale calibrated network model for the Greater Toronto Area. Performance results show that the robust traffic assignment algorithm reduces vehicle travel times compared to existing traffic assignment algorithms, with and without the presence of disturbances in the form of traffic incidents. This makes a strong case for traffic planners and operators to use robust dynamic route guidance systems within actual implementations of real-time ITS strategies to help proactively alleviate traffic congestion due to disturbances.

▼ The focus of this dissertation is to create robust tools that enable efficient and comprehensive subnetwork analysis for Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) and a microscopic simulation setting. A DTA subnetwork can potentially replace a large urban transportation network that experiences a change in only a small fraction of the whole network. However, DTA mainly uses Cell Transmission Model (CTM), which lacks many details provided through microscopic traffic simulation. Also, there is very little research done on the balance between the computational time and the subnetwork size. Computational time increases when using a larger subnetwork, but the simulated result is more similar to that of the entire network. Conversely, the computational time decreases when using a smaller subnetwork, but the simulated result might not replicated the entire network. Currently, extracting a subnetwork is a manual and time-consuming process, requiring an entire coded urban network in ArcGIS. Therefore, to overcome these shortcomings this study automated the process of extracting a subnetwork. Moreover, to further the transition between long-term and short-term traffic analysis, the study integrated a DTA simulator and a microscopic traffic simulator so that together they can assign traffic and provide detailed traffic result. This study also defined an appropriate sub-arterial size for the microscopic simulator, which is not the same as the size of the DTA subnetwork. Furthermore, this study analyzed several factors which significantly influence computational time, and developed optimization models to find the balance between the computational time and error resulting from sub-area size. Ultimately, this study developed two programs that can automatically extract a subnetwork from a regional DTA network, and automatically develop an identical subnetwork in a microscopic simulator from this DTA network of an appropriate size. The methodologies this study built promote the efficient analysis of traffic conditions and facilitate the implementation of advanced models that were previously limiting in terms of the amount of time required to compute results; also, the automatic tools this study developed will contribute to the depth and the breadth of dynamic transportation systems analysis.

▼ Traffic assignment models continue to play a critical role in the transportation planning process. Furthermore, day-to-day traffic flow volatility is a well-acknowledged phenomenon that planners and researchers alike view as increasingly important. However despite the importance of accounting for volatility, deployed assignment models capable of large-scale application have continued relying on traditional assumptions of determinism and perfect information. This research focuses on the impact of day-to-day demand uncertainty on equilibrium-based traffic models by advancing the concept of strategic traffic assignment. In the strategic user equilibrium (StrUE) model, the daily travel demand is treated as a random variable, and users are assumed to have knowledge about the day-to-day demand but are unaware of the specific traffic conditions they will experience during travel. Therefore, drivers make a strategic route choice to minimize their expected travel cost and follow that route independent of the experienced conditions. The result is an equilibrium assignment based on link flow proportions, as opposed to link flow volumes. Furthermore, as the day-to-day demand realization changes, the equilibrium flow proportions will remain the same. Thus, the resulting flows may appear volatile on a day-to-day basis, but can actually be represented by a higher level mathematical equilibrium.Part I of this thesis explores static models of strategic traffic assignment. Strategic traffic assignment is not only significant as a modelling approach, but also for the implications of the model in important network management applications. Therefore, this thesis implements the strategic traffic assignment model in two common transport problems: road pricing and capacity-enhancement network design. Static equilibrium models are useful for many applications, particularly on a large scale, they cannot capture a number of fundamental traffic characteristics due to their time invariant assumptions. Dynamic traffic assignment is a cutting edge extension to the basic models that provide a more realistic representation of traffic flow, although they are significantly more complex. In order to explore the strategic concept from multiple perspectives, Part II of this thesis proposes the strategic system optimal dynamic traffic assignment (StrSODTA) and explores a network design application.The core contribution of this research is to formulate and explore the implications of the strategic approach to accounting for day-to-day demand uncertainty, and furthermore to demonstrate the impact on practical transport planning applications.

O efeito de acidentes e obstruções em segmentos críticos da rede ocasionam impactos que prejudicam o desempenho da rede. Este estudo foi desenvolvido com o apoio do modelo de alocação de tráfego do software VISUM (versão 2015) e propõe um método para determinar a importância de cada segmento da rede viária, a identificação de segmentos críticos da rede e a avaliação de sua obstrução de forma estática e dinâmica. Para isso, são utilizados diversos indicadores de desempenho da rede viária. O método foi aplicado na região do Litoral Norte do Rio Grande do Sul, utilizando os dados de tráfego fornecidos pela CONCEPA TRIUNFO, DAER e DNIT. A determinação da importância de cada segmento decorreu da avaliação do impacto na rede causado pela obstrução do próprio segmento. Através do método proposto neste estudo foi possível identificar o segmento crítico da rede viária estudada e, de forma qualitativa, verificar a extensão da obstrução desse segmento nas análises estática e dinâmica Verificou-se que o indicador diferença do total de tempo despendido na rede é o indicador que mais apresenta crescimento com o incremento da demanda, não apresenta alterações de priorização dos segmentos frente a variações de intensidade e sentido da demanda. Os resultados deste estudo mostraram que o segmento crítico da rede pertence a BR-101 entre os municípios de Osório e Terra de Areia. O método de hierarquização proposto independe do sentido e da intensidade da demanda, e está sujeito a mais de uma métrica para avaliar o segmento crítico. Estes resultados podem subsidiar o planejamento de transportes, identificando trechos críticos da rede viária que necessitam de mais atenção dos gestores e apontando medidas de operação no caso de eventos disruptivos nos trechos críticos.

Identifying the most important link of the network is essential knowledge that the transport planners should have over the network. Incidents and events of capacity reduction in network elements are inevitable. The effect of accidents and obstructions on critical network links causes impacts that hamper network performance. This study was developed with support of VISUM (version 2015) traffic assignment model software with proposes a method to determinate each network link importance level, to identify the critical link and to measure the critical link blockage impact on network. For this, several road network performance indicators are used. The method was applied in the North Coast region of Rio Grande do Sul, using traffic data provided by CONCEPA TRIUNFO, DAER and DNIT. The link level importance in define from the own link impact due its obstruction. The proposed method identified the most critical link of the studied network and verified the qualitative impact of its obstruction extent in the static and dynamic assignment…

▼ The increment of extreme weather events is creating larger, and more frequent problems among infrastructure systems worldwide. In this thesis, the focus is on traffic networks by the analysis of a recent concept, the resilience. This concept evaluates the impact that perturbations create on traffic networks from the beginning of the perturbation until the total recovery. Due to the novelty of the concept in the Transport area, this thesis aims to develop new mathematical tools in order to quantify, and understand this concept in traffic networks. Following the previous objective, this thesis provides the reader with the following contributions: Literature review. A literature review about existing definitions, and methodologies to evaluate resilience in transport networks is presented, together with an analysis of the existing traffic assignment models, and travel cost functions. In addition, a literature review of methodologies for the identification of critical, and vulnerable links is included. A dynamic restricted equilibrium assignment model. A methodology to evaluate resilience in traffic networks is presented, based on a new dynamic restricted equilibrium assignment model, which evaluates not only the evolution of the cost level during the whole evolution of the perturbation, but also the stress suffered by the network users due to the changes in the travel conditions. In addition, formulations to evaluate the perturbation, and the recovery resilience are introduced. A bounded link travel cost function. A new link travel cost function which explicitly considers the effects of weather events in traffic networks is introduced, including not only a parameter to determine the intensity of the hazard, but also a parameter to include the local vulnerability of each link when the perturbation occurs. A mapping, and a bi-phase sensitivity analysis. A bi-phase sensitivity analysis of the parameters included in the proposed method to evaluate resilience, including local approach (OAT), and a global approach (Latin Hypercube) is presented. The statistical approach implemented allows its use in complex models by reducing the number of points needed for the analysis, with the consequent time saving. Methodologies to identify critical, and vulnerable links. Novel methodologies to identify, and rank the links of traffic networks by their vulnerability, and also by their criticality are presented. The methods are based in the analysis of the Fisher Information Matrix, and its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In addition, this methodology is extended for the identification of vulnerable, and critical areas of a traffic network. Practical applications. The proposed methodologies are tested in examples, and real traffic networks in order to show their performance, and characteristics. In addition, the presented examples allow the validation of the results, and the associated computational requirements. Advisors/Committee Members: O'Connor, Alan, Nogal, Maria.

▼ Autonomous vehicle (AV) technology has matured sufficiently to be in testing on public roads. However, traffic models of AVs are still in development. Most previous work has studied AV technologies in micro-simulation. The purpose of this dissertation is to model and optimize AV technologies for large city networks to predict how AVs might affect city traffic patterns and travel behaviors. To accomplish these goals, we construct a dynamic network loading model for AVs, consisting of link and node models of AV technologies, which is used to calculate time-dependent travel times in dynamic traffic assignment. We then study several applications of the dynamic network loading to predict how AVs might affect travel demand and traffic congestion. AVs admit reduced perception-reaction times through technologies such as (cooperative) adaptive cruise control, which can reduce following headways and increase capacity. Previous work has studied these in micro-simulation, but we construct a mesoscopic simulation model for analyses on large networks. To study scenarios with both autonomous and conventional vehicles, we modify the kinematic wave theory to include multiple classes of flow. The flow-density relationship also changes in space and time with the class proportions. We present multiclass cell transmission model and prove that it is a Godunov approximation to the multiclass kinematic wave theory. We also develop a car-following model to predict the fundamental diagram at arbitrary proportions of AVs. Complete market penetration scenarios admit dynamic lane reversal – changing lane direction at high frequencies to more optimally allocate road capacity. We develop a kinematic wave theory in which the number of lanes changes in space and time, and approximately solve it with a cell transmission model. We study two methods of determining lane direction. First, we present a mixed integer linear program for system optimal dynamic traffic assignment. Since this program is computationally difficult to solve, we also study dynamic lane reversal on a single link with deterministic and stochastic demands. The resulting policy is shown to significantly reduce travel times on a city network. AVs also admit reservation-based intersection control, which can make greater use of intersection capacity than traffic signals. AVs communicate with the intersection manager to reserve space-time paths through the intersection. We create a mesoscopic node model by starting with the conflict point variant of reservations and aggregating conflict points into capacity-constrained conflict regions. This model yields an integer program that can be adapted to arbitrary objective functions. To motivate optimization, we present several examples on theoretical and realistic networks demonstrating that naïve reservation policies can perform worse than traffic signals. These occur due to asymmetric intersections affecting optimal capacity allocation and/or user equilibrium route choice behavior. To improve reservations, we adapt the decentralized… Advisors/Committee Members: Boyles, Stephen David, 1982- (advisor), Claudel, Christian G (committee member), Kockelman, Kara M (committee member), Stone, Peter (committee member), Hasenbein, John J (committee member).

▼ Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA), which is to determine the network traffic pattern over time as a result of dynamic supply and demand interactions, is an important research area because DTA models have a wide range of applications in 1) real-time traffic control and management, and 2) off-line network planning and policy evaluations. Essentially, DTA consists of two components: a travel choice principle and a traffic-flow component. The travel choice principle models how travelers decide on whether to travel or not, and if so, how they select their routes, departure times, modes, or destinations. The traffic-flow component, on the other hand, depicts how traffic propagates inside a transport network. This thesis develops three general frameworks for DTA problems through the nonlinear complementarity problem approach, the variational inequality problem approach, and the fixed-point problem approach. Rather than considering traffic dynamics or the traffic-flow component as constraints, as is typically accomplished in the literature, the proposed frameworks model traffic through a unique mapping of route flows directly. This approach opens up a new way to analyze DTA problems. These frameworks allow the encapsulation of a range of dynamic traffic flow models and can be solved by many existing solution methods. For the traffic-flow component, this thesis reviews and compares two modeling paradigms for DTA purposes: point-queue and physical-queue paradigms, and depicts existing dynamic traffic-flow modeling approaches under each modeling paradigm, including their advantages and disadvantages. A numerical study is performed to demonstrate their different travel time predictions, time-dependent queuing locations, and time-dependent link occupancies. This thesis also investigates and discusses the implications of the properties of point-queue and physical-queue DTA problems, in the areas of causality, the continuity, differentiability, and monotone properties of route travel times, the existence and uniqueness of solutions, the first-in-first-out properties, and the continuity property of origin-destination travel times. In particular, this thesis proves that the existence of solutions to the DTA problems with physical queues is not guaranteed. This could be problematic because most existing planning and management procedures are developed under the equilibrium notion. Nevertheless, this finding may prove to be important in the search of new travel choice principles that are behaviorally sound and consistent with actual network behavior. Finally, based on the notion of bounded-rationality, this thesis proposes the tolerance-based Dynamic User Optimal (DUO) principle that includes the DUO principle as a special case. This new principle is behaviorally sound and consistent with actual traffic behavior. Based on the theoretical gap, the condition for the existence of solutions to the problem is provided. Two new design methods are proposed and discussed. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effects of…

▼ The transit network design problem (TNDP) arises in the rail, bus and ferry industries. It requires the joint determination of the service or carrier network and the commodity flows to achieve certain objective, such as minimum cost, maximum revenue, etc. It has been well recognized that the stochastic nature of demand has a substantial impact on the service design patterns. Integrating the consideration of uncertain demand into the TNDP can lead to robust and cost-effective service network designs which not only provide reliable services to passengers, but also reduce the expected cost for the operating companies. This thesis focuses on the tactical planning methodology for the TNDP with stochastic demand. To address demand uncertainty, two types of services are introduced: Fixed Route Transit (FRT) and Demand Responsive Transit (DRT). FRT is operated with a fixed schedule, while DRT is only called upon to accommodate demand overflow, which typically has a higher unit cost. In this research, the TNDP is formulated as a two stage mixed-integer stochastic problem with capacity constraints. This thesis draws upon the concept of regular service reliability (SR); i.e. the FRT is designed to be sufficient to cover the demand up to a certain specified SR. This approach reduces the otherwise difficult 2-stage stochastic problem into two phases that can be solved iteratively. For a specific SR, Phase-1 determines the deployment of FRT which covers the demand up to a specific SR, and Phase-2 determines the DRT capacity to accommodate the realized demand that exceeds the capacity of the FRT. In determining the SR, the expected cost arising from the DRT must be duly considered. The key is to determine the SR of the FRT in order to minimize the expected system cost under stochastic demand. The level of SR internalizes the tradeoff between these two types of services. The final optimal solution is obtained by conducting a gradient search to obtain the optimal SR. Other than providing a performance characterization for the FRT, the term SR allows decoupling the computations of the FRT schedule and DRT deployment, leading to substantial gains in computational efficiency. Two passenger flow patterns, system optimal (SO) and user equilibrium (UE) are investigated separately. With the notion of SR, a linear programming (LP) approach is formulated to deal with the great challenges in the encapsulation of stochastic demand, equilibrium constraints and hard capacity constraints simultaneously, through treating the negative Lagrange multiplier associated with the capacity constraint as the extra delay caused by passenger overload. The SR-based formulation and the gradient algorithm are then applied to one actual ferry network scheduling problem in Hong Kong with promising results. Compared to existing stochastic methods, this approach leads to substantial computation time savings. To evaluate the benefits of passenger reservation, two DRT provision schemes are investigated based on whether the demand information is acquired in advance by…

▼ Efficient transportation management requires good understanding of people's travel behavior. Most transportation planning models assume travelers are perfectly rational in decision-making. However, much of the empirical evidence from psychology, economics, and transportation has shown that perfect rationality is not realistic in modeling travelers' decision-making process. Thus existing transportation planning models may provide inaccurate predictions to transportation planners. Motivated by travelers' route choice changes in response to the reopening of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis, this dissertation shows that travelers are boundedly rational (BR) in making route choices. Though the BR travel behavioral model was proposed in the 1980's, empirical validation of such behavioral principle using real-world data along with a theoretical framework was non-existent. This study is dedicated to bridging these gaps from both empirical and theoretical perspectives.The first contribution of this dissertation is the empirical verification and estimation of boundedly rational route choice behavior. By analyzing recorded GPS trajectories from 143 commuters before and after the reopening of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis, we employ a probit model to estimate the bounded rationality parameters in Twin Cities. Despite the behavioral appeal of bounded rationality, a rigorous study of boundedly rational user equilibria (BRUE) solution has been lacking, partly due to its mathematical complexity. This research offers a systematic approach of deriving the BRUE solutions analytically on networks with fixed travel demands. Based on the definition of ε-BRUE, where ε is the indifference band for perceived travel times, we formulate the ε-BRUE problem as a nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP). With the increase of the indifference band, the path set that contains equilibrium flows will be augmented and the critical values of the indifference band to augment the path set can be identified by solving a sequence of mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPEC). A novel solution method is provided to obtain the BRUE solution set and numerical examples are given to illustrate this finding. To provide guidelines to policy-makers for congestion mitigation, this research also explores an important phenomenon which should be avoided in transportation network design, i.e., Braess paradox. The classical Braess paradox was built upon the perfectly rational behavioral assumption. Under the framework of bounded rationality, each equilibrium flow pattern leads to a different total system travel time, resulting in non-unique network performance measures. Because of the non-uniqueness of BRUE solutions, which particular equilibrium pattern should be used to compare network performances before and after new roads are built remains a question. This dissertation aims to study the analytical properties of Braess paradox under bounded rationality by exploring the relationships between the occurrence of Braess paradox and the…

▼ A nascent ridesharing industry is being enabled by new communication technologies and motivated by its many possible benefits, such as reduction in travel cost, pollution, and congestion. Understanding the complex relations between ridesharing and traffic congestion is a critical step in the evaluation of a ridesharing enterprise or of the usefulness of regulatory policies or incentives to promote ridesharing. In this research, we propose two new traffic assignment models that explicitly represent ridesharing as a mode of transportation. The objective is to analyze how ridesharing impacts traffic congestion, how people can be motivated to participate in ridesharing, and conversely, how congestion influences ridesharing, including ridesharing prices and the number of drivers and passengers. ❧ The first model considers the scenario where drivers and passengers sharing the same ride must travel from the same origin and to the same destination. This model is built by combining a ridesharing market model with a classic elastic demand Wardrop traffic equilibrium model. It is formulated as a convex optimization problem. The Frank‐Wolfe algorithm is adopted to solve the model and a heuristic approach is applied using the equilibrium condition. Our computational results show that: (1) the ridesharing base price influences the congestion level, (2) within a certain price range, an increase in the price may reduce the traffic congestion, and (3) the utilization of ridesharing increases as the congestion increases. ❧ The second model drops the constraint of the same origin‐destination (OD) pair. In this model, drivers may pick up or drop off any passenger in the middle of their trips, and they may even detour from a seemingly shortest path. In order to describe this scenario, we extend the network by doubling the nodes and tripling the arcs in size. A generalized user equilibrium is defined to represent the new network and the new constraints. The generalized user equilibrium can be formulated as a mixed complementarity problem (MiCP), and equivalently a variational inequality. It is proved that there exists one and only one solution to this model. The KNITRO solver is adopted to solve the MiCP and the computational results are promising. It can be concluded from the results that when the congestion cost decreases or the ridesharing inconvenience cost increases, more travelers would become solo drivers and thus less people would participate in ridesharing. On the other hand, when the ridesharing price increases, more travelers would become ridesharing drivers. ❧ In conclusion, the traffic congestion, the ridesharing cost, and the number of travelers interact with each other closely in both models. Understanding their relationships enables planners to develop policies to draw more people to participate in ridesharing and thus to reduce traffic congestion.

▼ The Multi-resolution Assignment and Loading of Transport Activities (MALTA) system is a simulation-based Dynamic Traffic Assignment model that exploits the advantages of multi-processor computing via the use of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) protocol. Spatially partitioned transportation networks are utilized to estimate travel time via alternate routes on mega-scale network models, while the concurrently run shortest path and assignment procedures evaluate traffic conditions and re-assign traffic in order to achieve traffic assignment goals such as User Optimal and/or System Optimal conditions.Performance gain is obtained via the spatial partitioning architecture that allows the simulation domains to distribute the work load based on a specially designed Recursive On-line Load Balance model (ROLB). The ROLB development describes how the transportation network is transformed into an ordered node network which serves as the basis for a minimum cost heuristic, solved using the shortest path, which solves a multi-objective NP Hard binary optimization problem. The approach to this problem contains a least-squares formulation that attempts to balance the computational load of each of the mSim domains as well as to minimize the inter-domain communication requirements. The model is developed from its formal formulation to the heuristic utilized to quickly solve the problem. As a component of the balancing model, a load forecasting technique is used, Fast Sim, to determine what the link loading of the future network in order to estimate average future link speeds enabling a good solution for the ROLB method.The runtime performance of the MALTA model is described in detail. It is shown how a 94% reduction in runtime was achieved with the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) network with the use of 33 CPUs. The runtime was reduced from over 60 minutes of runtime on one machine to less than 5 minutes on the 33 CPUs. The results also showed how the individual runtimes on each of the simulation domains could vary drastically with naïve partitioning methods as opposed to the balanced run-time using the ROLB method; confirming the need to have a load balancing technique for MALTA.

▼ This thesis focuses on modeling and optimization of two-region urban pricing systems and analyzing and understanding the effects of pricing on the network traffic flow. The motivation of this work is the fact that traffic congestion is growing fast in cities around the world especially in city centers, and hence the need for an effective and efficient travel demand management (TDM) policy. With the aim of advancing the current congestion pricing theory, this thesis proposes and integrates different advanced pricing regimes with the Network Fundamental Diagram (NFD) and simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment (DTA), studies and compares different computationally efficient simulation-based optimization (SO or SBO) methods, and analyzes and under-stands the effects of different pricing regimes on the network traffic flow.This thesis demonstrates through computer simulations the effectiveness of a well-designed pricing system on improving the network performance. The major finding is that the distance only toll, which represents the state of the practice, naturally drives travelers into the shortest paths within the pricing zone (PZ) resulting in a more uneven distribution of congestion and hence, a larger hysteresis loop in the NFD and lower network flows especially during network recovery. This limitation is overcome by two more advanced pricing regimes, namely the joint distance and time toll (JDTT) and the joint distance and delay toll (JDDT), through the introduction of a time and a delay toll component, respectively. Moreover, this thesis explicitly models and minimizes the heterogeneity of congestion distribution as part of the toll level problem (TLP). The toll area problem (TAP) is also investigated by means of network partitioning.To optimize different pricing regimes through computer simulations, this thesis develops two computationally efficient SO frameworks. The first framework employs a proportional-integral (PI) controller from control theory to solve a simple TLP featuring a low-dimensional decision vector, a set-point objective and only bound constraints. The second framework employs regressing kriging (RK) from machine learning to solve a complex TLP that has either a high-dimensional decision vector, a complex objective, or a set of complex constraints. A comprehensive comparison between the two methods and two other widely used methods, namely simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) and DIviding RECTangles (DIRECT), are performed.Overall, this thesis provides valuable insights into the study, design, and implementation of urban pricing systems and the effects of pricing on the network traffic flow. Results of this work not only help in developing effective pricing systems to mitigate urban traffic congestion, but also provide competitive solutions to other types of network design problems (NDPs).

▼ Current transport modelling tools, utilised for maintenance and development of road infrastructure, assign traffic throughout a network based on traditional equilibrium concepts. These models assume rationality, perfect network knowledge and path cost minimisation of users. Disruptions on a road network such as traffic incidents transform normal driving behaviour and route choice. Hence, these equilibrium concepts cannot appropriately cater for disruptions which restrict the value of the available tools.This thesis presents an investigation into driving behaviour under disrupted conditions and the subsequent development of traffic assignment models that account for disrupted conditions. It is postulated that disruptions lead to the release of information which results in adaptive behaviour. Information can be through visual cues of the disruption itself, or provided through navigation technology and Advanced Traveller Information Systems (ATIS). Thus, the thesis focuses on two components; impacts of information on driving behaviour and the incorporation of information into network modelling.The concepts of experimental economics were used to develop two controlled laboratory experiments; the first studied the presence of information on risk attitudes of users. The findings revealed that users became risk neutral in the presence of information resulting in the overvaluation of information sources. The second experiment empirically proved the existence of an online information paradox where the provision of information results in deterioration of network performance. Neglecting these findings may affect the economic appraisal of informational infrastructure and can potentially result in erroneous planning outcomes.Principles of “User Equilibrium with Recourse” (UER) were used to develop static (Disrupted Equilibrium Assignment with Recourse (DEAR)) and dynamic (Dynamic User Optimal with Recourse (DUOR)) traffic assignment methodologies which account for the adaptive behaviour of users in light of a disruption. Application of the models suggests an increase in system wide costs when accounting for disruptions and highlights the benefits of information provision.The core contribution of the research is the development of novel modelling techniques that incorporate adaptive behaviour associated with disruptions. Further development of these models can lead to improved assessment of reliability and vulnerability of road networks.

▼ Recent technological advances allows transportation engineering professions to collect, share, and handle unprecedented quantities of data, which has the potential to transform current transportation planning paradigms. In the immediate future, data can be used to improve the precision and capabilities of existing transportation network modeling frameworks. Parcel data is a large, readily available data source that represents the location of public lands, businesses, and residences and is frequently used by government and businesses for land use and zoning decisions. This thesis looks at the viability of using parcel data to inform static traffic assignment (STA) and dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) connector placement in a medium sized network in the Austin, TX region. Simulation-based DTA models are particularly sensitive to the topological detail of the traffic network, including the location of centroid connectors. Traditional centroid connector placement strategies may lead to excessive congestion and unrealistic traffic patterns, while manual network refinement is prohibitive in large regional models. In this thesis, parcel-level data is used to both allocate travel demand between two sub-regions in each considered traffic analysis zone and to select appropriate nodes for the centroid connector placement. Numerical experiments suggest that the proposed approach better approximates both corridor travel times and traffic counts throughout the network, with improvements of more than 40 percent in travel time estimation accuracy, and 12 percent in traffic count estimation. Additionally, the scenarios that best matched count and travel time data were the scenarios that had the highest average parcel density per entry/exit node, indicating that parcel data is an acceptable proxy for high demand points in the network. When applied in STA, the results were not quite as promising. Although this methodology was able to improve the utilization of lower capacity links, the results ultimately did not better resemble volume count data. However, this does represent a simple, transparent, and data-driven approach for centroid connector placement in static traffic assignment that performs as well as traditional methods.

▼ Connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies can revolutionize the way we transport people and goods and may soon be publicly available, however proper planning for these technologies is crucial to their successful integration into our transportation systems. CAVs can reduce following headways and increase roadway capacity and stability, as well as allow for new, more efficient intersection controls with wireless communication capabilities. This work is twofold: (1) evaluating the traffic congestion impacts of AVs and reservation-based intersection control on real large-scale city networks in Texas using DTA and (2) developing methods to find optimal configurations of reservations and signals in a city network. The first part of this thesis evaluates CAV behavior impacts by simulating different mixed CAV and human vehicle (HV) demand scenarios. Results show improvements in network efficiency with increases in CAV penetration. Reservations were observed to perform better than signals in most scenarios. Namely, the Austin downtown network resulted in a 78% reduction in travel time. However, signals outperformed reservations in some high demand cases on arterial networks due to the reservation's first-come-first-serve (FCFS) policy allocating more capacity to local roads, resulting in arterial progression interruption and queue spillback onto close-proximity streets. The discovered paradoxical effects imply that some intersections are better suited for reservation control than others. The second part of this thesis finds and characterizes favorable mixed-configurations of reservation-based controls and signalized controls in a large city network which minimize total system travel times. As this optimization problem is bi-level and challenging, we propose three different methods to heuristically find effective mixed-configurations. The first method is an intersection ranking method uses simulation to assign a score to each intersection in a network based on localized potential benefit to system travel time under reservation control and then ranks all intersections accordingly. The second is another ranking method, however uses linear regression to predict an intersection's localized score. Finally, we present a genetic algorithm which iteratively approaches high-performing network configurations yielding minimal system travel times. We test the methods on the downtown Austin network and find configurations which are less than half controlled by reservation intersections that improve travel times beyond an all-reservation controlled network. Overall, our results show that the genetic algorithm finds the best performing configurations with the initial score-assigning ranking method performing similarly but much more efficiently. We finally find that favorable reservation placement is in consecutive chains along highly trafficked corridors. Advisors/Committee Members: Boyles, Stephen David, 1982- (advisor).

▼ Travel demand forecasting and traffic simulation are two important components of transportation studies. Travel demand forecasting models have typically been used for planning purposes for future transportation systems at a macroscopic level. Traffic simulation tools are often used to account for the movements of individual vehicles at a microscopic level. Traditionally, there has been a disconnection between the macroscopic and microscopic levels. The desire to link travel demand models and traffic simulation models has been recognized by transportation agencies and professionals.With the advent of computing technologies, transportation agencies are increasingly adopting microscopic traffic simulation models for large-scale design projects to obtain more detailed operational analyses. One critical issue that transportation agencies often encounter is that constructing a microscopic simulation model from scratch still consumes a significant amount of resources. This research aims to develop a conversion method to extract a portion of a travel demand network in TransCAD for constructing a consistent subarea of interest, and then convert it into a microscopic simulation in Synchro/SimTraffic.TransCAD in nature is a macroscopic travel demand modeling tool. Synchro/SimTraffic provides detailed microscopic traffic analysis. Dynamic Traffic Assignment models serve as a mesoscopic tool for traffic analysis, which lie between TransCAD and Synchro. To convert a TransCAD model into Synchro for micro-simulation, a cross-resolution simulation method using NeXTA/DTALite as an intermediate tool was adopted. This method develops a DTA model that ensures consistency between TransCAD traffic demand and Synchro vehicle flow, and allows users to easily define a subarea in the DTA model and convert it to Synchro. The conversion method was tested for its functionality using the TransCAD model maintained by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTCSN). The test application demonstrated the integration of TransCAD, DTA, and Synchro as well as the successful application of converting a TransCAD network to DTA, and a subarea from DTA to Synchro. Results from the case study show significant time savings by using the proposed method compared to traditional manual methods. Major conclusions and some outstanding issues from the research are documented in this thesis. A User’s Manual for the conversion process is also included in the thesis.
