Optimal distribution of traffic flows in emergency cases

Abstract: The aim of this work is to present a technique for the optimisation of emergency vehicles travel times on assigned paths when critical situations, such as car accidents, occur. Using a fluid-dynamic model for the description of car density evolution, the attention is focused on a decentralised approach reducing to simple junctions with two incoming roads and two outgoing ones (junctions of 2 × 2 type). We assume the redirection of cars at junctions is possible and choose a cost functional that describes the as… Show more

“…Our study concerns modeling and simulation of wave propagation along spatial networks, inspired by (and with intended applications to) modeling blood flow in cardiovascular networks [16]. There are also connections with the modeling of traffic flow in urban networks, supply chains and telecommunication data networks (see [10], [11], [12], [13], [19]). For a spatial network, the dynamics is typically described first at the level of individual edges, followed by a model for the junctions; the simulations can be performed on parts of the network or, if feasible, on the entire network.…”

“…In IoV, routing protocols plays a key role in the finding of best available paths in highly unstable vehicular environment (Cascone et al 2010;Cutolo et al 2012;Manzo et al 2012). A suitable protocol for data transmission in wireless networks can have a good data quality with less or no delay.…”
