Research on Road Traffic Network Design Model and Algorithm Considering Traffic Fairness

Abstract

Urban transportation is an important part of urban economic structure, which plays an important role in promoting the orderly development of society, residents' work and life. This paper analyzes the fairness in traffic network design problem, constructs the average network improvement index to measure fairness, and establishes a bi-level programming model for road traffic network design considering traffic fairness. The upper model includes the optimal total travel time and traffic fairness, and the lower model is the traffic flow allocation model. Then, according to the characteristics of the model, a genetic algorithm is designed to solve the model. Finally, a simple example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the mathematical model and algorithm. The model proposed in this paper can get the final road design scheme satisfying the total travel time and traffic fairness of the road network under certain road network conditions, and can provide decision support for traffic planners.

Simulation modeling in infrastructure modernization projects of the Russian part of the Central Eurasian Corridor

“…All of these are inputs to a formal model that simulates the subject domain [8]. This is confirmed in the works of domestic and foreign scientists engaged in modeling of processes and systems [6,[9][10][11].…”

“…The development of formal models that reflect key aspects of a real object or process provide insight and a systematic approach to formulating research objectives and unified solutions to problems. The nature of the obtained models allows us to accurately formalize multicriteria in dynamics, considering the diversity of conditions of the transport system [8,9,14,15].…”

“…It is the graphical method that allows to visualize any complexity of a process or object structure in an intuitive graphical notation. As Logachev [11,12], Altunina [13] and Zhao [9] point out in their works, this allows any structural block of the process to be interpreted in the same way by different specialists, which streamlines professional communications between teams of researchers, developers and managers.…”

Parametric modeling of traffic flows for predicting sustainable development of urban areas

“…The use of parametric and simulation modeling for the implementation of urban infrastructure modernization projects, streamlining traffic or pedestrian flows is a global practice [5,8,14,15].…”
