Modeling and optimal control of congested transportation systems

Abstract

An approach is discussed for the modeling of congested transportation systems as store‐and‐forward networks analogous to communication networks of this type but with a finite travel time between nodes. A variety of approaches is suggested, and illustrated by examples, for the allocation of the usage of the arcs of the network by various competing units of traffic.
