CTS-IGERT is pleased to co-host a seminar with Dr. Kouros Mohammadian, CME, on Friday, January 21st at 2:30 p.m. Location: Room 1000 SEO Dr. Nikolas Geroliminis, Assistant Professor and Chair of Urban Transport Systems Laboratory EPFL, Lausanne Dr. Geroliminis will present a seminar entitled: "A macroscopic approach for city planning and management consistent with the physics of traffic" Abstract: This talk will be about the macroscopic modeling and control of traffic in congested cities. In our research we have observed with real data the so-called macroscopic or network fundamental diagram, connecting network flows and densities for homogeneously loaded urban networks. This MFD tells us that beyond some critical point the performance of traffic networks deteriorates with every extra vehicle entering the network even to the point of total gridlock. So what is true on small road stretches (flow decreases with increasing density in congestion) appears to also hold in entire networks, albeit that the underlying mechanisms are different. Nonetheless, in both cases we see that beyond some critical point, in traffic operations things go from bad to worse. However in reality, many urban transportation networks are heterogeneous with different levels of congested conditions. Therefore we are interested in studying whether MFD also exists in heterogeneous networks that can be partitioned into homogeneous components. We show that the spatial distribution of density/occupancy in the network is one of the key components that affect the scatter of an MFD and its shape. In this lecture we will explain the MFD and its consequences with some examples and will sketch perspectives for applications and further research. |
