Urbanization leads to an increase of traffic in cities. The Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) suggests to describe urban traffic at a zonal level, in order to measure and control traffic. However, for a proper estimation, all data needs…
Traffic simulations are made more realistic by giving individual drivers intentions, i.e. an idea of where they want to go. One possible implementation of this idea is to give each driver an exact pre-computed path, that is, a sequence of…
Optimal transport provides a powerful mathematical framework with applications spanning numerous fields. A cornerstone within this domain is the $p$-Wasserstein distance, which serves to quantify the cost of transporting one probability…
