Dynamic Analyses on Network Traffic Flow

Applications of Queueing Models

Abstract

This paper summarizes dynamic network analyses utilizing cumulative arrival and departure curves under point as well as physical queues. First, a relationship between the cumulative curve under point and physical queue concepts and time-space diagram is explained. Second, dynamic traffic assignments with three principles of DUO (Dynamic User Optimal), DUE (Dynamic User Equilibrium), and DSO (Dynamic System Optimal) are formulated. Finally, theoretical past research outcomes on departure time choice, which is as important as route choice, are reviewed.
