We extended the Biham-Middleton-Levine model to incorporate the origin and destination effect of drivers trips on the traffic in cities. The destination sites are randomly chosen from some origin-destination distances probability…
We consider a discrete-time system comprising a first-come-first-served queue, a non-preemptive server, and a stationary non-work-conserving scheduler. New tasks enter the queue according to a Bernoulli process with a pre-specified arrival…
Persuasive scholarship presents how individual daily travel habits implicate congestion, environmental pollution, and the travel experience. However, the empirical characteristics and dynamics of travel habits remain poorly understood.…
The combination of boundary flow control and variable speed limit (VSL) is a widely used strategy for highway corridors to maintain safety and throughput when the capacity downstream is dropped. However, most proposed models assume fixed…
Efficient management of traffic corridors is critical for sustaining urban mobility. Exclusive bus lane (EBL) and high occupancy vehicle lane (HOVL) are two prominent strategies for enhancing public transit services and alleviating…
This paper provides a unified framework for the problem of controlling a fleet of ride-hailing vehicles under stochastic demand. We introduce a sequential decision-making model that consolidates several problem characteristics and can be…
In this paper we revisit a class of optimal transport problems associated to non-autonomous linear control systems. Building on properties of the cost functions on $\mathbb{R}^{d}\times\mathbb{R}^{d}$ derived from suitable variational…
Ridesourcing platforms recently introduced the ``schedule a ride'' service where passengers may reserve (book-ahead) a ride in advance of their trip. Reservations give platforms precise information that describes the start time and location…
Controlling the departure time of the trucks from a container hub is important to both the traffic and the logistics systems. This, however, requires an intelligent decision support system that can control and manage truck arrival times at…
Redundancy-d (R(d)) is a load balancing method used to route incoming jobs to K servers, each with its own queue. Every arriving job is replicated into 2<=d<=K tasks, which are then routed to d servers chosen uniformly at random. When the…
In this article we approach a class of stochastic reachability problems with state constraints from an optimal control perspective. Preceding approaches to solving these reachability problems are either confined to the deterministic setting…
There has been tremendous progress in algorithmic methods for computing driving directions on road networks. Most of that work focuses on time-independent route planning, where it is assumed that the cost on each arc is constant per query.…
With an increasing need for more flexible mobility services, we consider an operational problem arising in the planning of Demand Adaptive Systems (DAS). Motivated by the decision of whether to accept or reject passenger requests in real…
With the proliferation of ride-hailing services, curb space in urban areas has become highly congested due to the massive passenger pick-ups and drop-offs. Particularly during peak hours, the massive ride-hailing vehicles waiting to drop…
We present in this article traffic flow and control models for the train dynamics in metro lines. The first model, written in the max-plus algebra, takes into account minimum running, dwell and safety time constraints, without any control…
A widely adopted two-dimensional Markov chain model of the IEEE 802.11 DCF was introduced by Bianchi to characterize the backoff behavior of a single node under a saturated traffic condition. Using this approach, we propose a queuing model…
A multi-class single-server queueing model with finite buffers, in which scheduling and admission of customers are subject to control, is studied in the moderate deviation heavy traffic regime. A risk-sensitive cost set over a finite time…
Existing drift detection methods focus on designing sensitive test statistics. They treat the detection threshold as a fixed hyperparameter, set once to balance false alarms and late detections, and applied uniformly across all datasets and…
Denied boarding in congested transit systems induces queuing delays and departure-time shifts that can reshape passenger flows. Correctly modeling these responses in transit assignment hinges on the enforcement of two priority rules:…
While conventional shared demand-responsive transportation (SDRT) systems mostly operate on a door-to-door policy, the usage of meeting points for the pick-up and drop-off of user groups can offer several advantages, like fewer stops and…
