Calibrating MFD Models from Mobile Phone Data
This work focuses on the estimation ofMacroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) and trip lengths for the city scale network using mobile phone data for the city of Dallas. The data used in the present work has different sampling intervals and in order to have an accurate estimation of travelled distance, a trip enhancement method is proposed based on m...
Perimeter gating control and citywide dynamic user equilibrium: A macroscopic modeling framework
In recent years, several perimeter control strategies have been proposed for traffic management in cities. The common factor found in these works is the use of Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) models to describe the dynamics of the network and optimize traffic inside the perimeter by manipulating perimeter inflows. Perimeter gating control str...
Improving traffic network performance with road banning strategy: A simulation approach comparing user equilibrium and s...
The purpose of this study is to compare network loadings related to different network equilibria by a simulation-based framework. The direct comparison of path flows or trajectory patterns is hard to achieve so here we propose a more aggregate approach based on the comparison of demand level breakpoints. A breakpoint is a demand threshold value tha...
Reducing Network-wide Emissions Through Perimeter Control at City Gates
Traffic congestion and emission are the crucial problems due to its significant impact on the environment, economy, and health of the inhabitants. In this paper, we propose an approach to reduce network-wide emissions in an urban traffic network. The approach is comprised of two layers. The first layer (optimal green routing) which predicts the opt...

The role of trip lengths in Perimeter Control strategies
Since the development of the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD), many traffic control strategies and algorigthms have been developed to implement perimeter control over a specific urban region. In most cases, the typical assumption is to have a common average trip length for all vehicles traveling within the same region. However, the proper cali...
