How can urban movement data be exploited in order to improve the flow of traffic within a city? Movement data provides valuable information about routes and specific roads that people are likely to drive on. This allows us to pinpoint roads…
When people pick routes to minimize their travel time, the total experienced delay, or social cost, may be significantly greater than if people followed routes assigned to them by a social planner. This effect is accentuated when human…
