Deployable Real-time Traffic Routing Under Information Provision

Sustained increases in traffic congestion levels
motivate the need for the efficient utilization of
existing transportation infrastructure and resources.
Integrated advances in computing, telecommunications,
and informatics have enabled the development of
Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) as a
mechanism to alleviate traffic congestion. ATIS can
enhance the efficiency of existing network capacity
utilization by enabling drivers to make more informed
decisions. A critical aspect for the successful
deployment of ATIS strategies is the explicit
consideration of driver behavior in the determination
of the information to provide to drivers. This
research seeks to develop behavior-consistent
information-based network traffic control strategies
by assigning primacy to the intricate
interdependencies between driver behavior and the
information strategies. Behavior-consistent
strategies are defined here as information-based
strategies that factor the likely response of drivers
in their determination. This book should be
especially useful to professionals or researches
seeking to develop and deploy real-time traffic
information strategies.
