ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT:
Vehicular traffic modelling has been of interest to mitigate traffic congestion and pollution. Modelling is required to forecast traffic flow behaviour in high density traffic regions. The service of road improves with adjustment in the flow. Current research employs various approaches to optimize traffic including dynamic and static strategies. Fluid models have also been investigated for modelling vehicular traffic. Performance metrics include route optimization based on the familiarity, difficulty, location, cost, etc.
This talk will briefly discuss a new model which includes the discontinuity behaviour of traffic flow. New techniques are introduced based on velocity profile which improves the vehicular trip time. A realistic selection criterion for a route is defined. This provides an integrated approach to vehicular flow and pollution control.
