A stable dynamic pricing scheme is essential to guarantee the desired performance of high-occupancy-toll (HOT) lanes, where single-occupancy vehicles (SOVs) can pay a price to use the HOT lanes. But existing methods apply to either only one…
We study several deterministic one-dimensional traffic models. For integer positions and velocities we find the typical high and low density phases separated by a simple transition. If positions and velocities are continuous variables the…
The propagation of traffic congestion along roads is a commonplace nonlinear phenomenon. When many roads are connected in a network, congestion can spill from one road to others as drivers queue to enter a congested road, creating further…
We propose a new model for multi-lane traffic with moving bottlenecks, e.g., autonomous vehicles (AV). It consists of a system of balance laws for traffic in each lane, coupled in the source terms for lane changing, and fully coupled to…

A fluid queuing network constitutes one of the simplest models in which to study flow dynamics over a network. In this model we have a single source-sink pair and each link has a per-time-unit capacity and a transit time. A dynamic…
Recently we proposed an extension to the traffic model of Aw, Rascle and Greenberg. The extended traffic model can be written as a hyperbolic system of balance laws and numerically reproduces the reverse $\lambda$ shape of the fundamental…
Mass transit systems are experiencing increasing congestion in many cities. The schedule-based transit assignment problem (STAP) involves a joint choice model for departure times and routes, defining a space-time path in which passengers…
Fundamental to many transportation network studies, traffic flow models can be used to describe traffic dynamics determined by drivers' car-following, lane-changing, merging, and diverging behaviors. In this study, we develop a…
We investigate a probabilistic cellular automaton model which has been introduced recently. This model describes single-lane traffic flow on a ring and generalizes the asymmetric exclusion process models. We study the equilibrium properties…
We show that all existing deterministic microscopic traffic models with identical drivers (including both two-phase and three-phase models) can be understood as special cases from a master model by expansion around well-defined ground…
In 1998, O'Loan et al. introduced a simplified bus route model to illustrate bus dynamics. However, fluctuations in passenger numbers make it challenging to achieve an exact solution for the model's stationary state, as these fluctuations…
The collective behavior of human-driven vehicles (HVs) produces the well-known stop-and-go waves potentially leading to higher fuel consumption and emissions. This paper investigates the stabilization of traffic flow via a minimum number of…
We consider a continuum model for the dynamics of systems of self propelling particles with kinematic constraints on the velocities. The model aims to be analogous to a discrete algorithm used in works by T. Vicsek et al. In this paper we…
We develop a Markovian traffic equilibrium model for ride-hailing in which vehicles, whether empty or hired, make sequential order-acceptance and link-choice decisions over a traffic network to maximize total discounted return in an…
Traffic congestion has become a nightmare to modern life in metropolitan cities. On average, a driver spending X hours a year stuck in traffic is one of most common sentences we often read regarding traffic congestion. Our aim in this…
Statistical mechanics of a disordered system of cars on a single-lane road is developed. Behaviour of cars is defined by conditional probability of car velocity depending on the distance and velocity of the car ahead. A system consisting of…
