Abstract:

To optimize the transportation network through a detailed analysis of all the traffic flows one needs to have two main ingredients. First it is necessary to have a holistic modeling framework that can manage the complexity of this multi-modal system. Second is comprehensive data for all the traffic statistics. In this project the authors want to demonstrate with an example how parking information can be incorporated into a multi-modal dynamic user equilibrium (MMDUE) model and develop a computer vision tool that can provide street parking data. This project allows the authors to collect time-varying parking data that could be used, in addition to existing traffic data, to understand travel behavior among various travel modes, such as driving (including solo-driving and carpooling), public transit, and park-and-ride. The travel behavior of all travelers in the network is then simulated to assess system performance and features of passenger/vehicular flow.
