Fast simulation for road traffic network

Roberta Jungblut-Hessel, Brigitte Plateau, William J. Stewart, Bernard Ycart (2001)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

In this paper we present a method to perform fast simulation of large markovian systems. This method is based on the use of three concepts: Markov chain uniformization, event-driven dynamics, and modularity. An application of urban traffic simulation is presented to illustrate the performance of our approach.

A Markov chain model for traffic equilibrium problems

Giandomenico Mastroeni (2002)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

We consider a stochastic approach in order to define an equilibrium model for a traffic-network problem. In particular, we assume a markovian behaviour of the users in their movements throughout the zones of the traffic area. This assumption turns out to be effective at least in the context of urban traffic, where, in general, the users tend to travel by choosing the path they find more convenient and not necessarily depending on the already travelled part. The developed model is a homogeneous...

Aggregation/disaggregation method for safety models

Štěpán Klapka, Petr Mayer (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The paper concerns the possibilities for mathematical modelling of safety related systems (equipment oriented on safety). Some mathematical models have been required by the present European Standards for the railway transport. We are interested in the possibility of using Markov’s models to meet these Standards. In the text an example of using that method in the interlocking equipment life cycle is given. An efficient aggregation/disaggregation method for computing some characteristics...
