Modelling urban traffic congestion due to construction transports - The Case of Norrköping

Zernis, Rudolfs January 2021 (has links)
“Störningsfri stad” is an ongoing research project in Norrköping with the aim to create a planning system that shows the impact on the city caused by construction project related logistic activities. Based on the general idea that construction sites create disturbances within a city the thesis evaluates how it is possible to model excess congestion caused by construction transport and trips. Other part of thesis focuses of the application of construction logistic solutions and their respective impact on the congestion. To deal with the stated problem, a case is created – Case Norrköping. It involves the preparation of datasets that describe travel patterns for HGV and workers going to and from construction sites. Case Norrköping is based on six construction sites located in Norrköping. Construction sites have an estimated demand of transports. For that reason, three reference values are created. Reference values are given as the number of HGV serving all sites – 152, 458, 1404 number of vehicles during one working day. To create OD-matrices for the HGV trips, six supplier locations are used. Resulting datasets describe in detail how and when HGV and workers arrive at the construction sites. The actual modelling of congestion effects is done in traffic simulation framework MATSim. An existing Norrköping MATSim model is used and combined with the datasets created in Case Norrköping. Output of simulation is potential congestion effect on car traffic in Norrköping. Case Norrköping is evaluated by changing the number of involved sites. Results show that construction transports contribute to increased congestion levels. Absolute increase of congestion is not significant for scenario 152 HGV. Scenarios 458 and 1404 HGV do show noticeable increases in congestion, especially during peak hour periods. Finally, construction logistic solutions are applied to Case Norrköping to evaluate the impact on congestion level. Different HGV arrival schedules at construction sites are applied. Result of logistic solution application shows that congestion levels can be decreased if peak-hour avoidance is considered in construction transport planning. Even constant arrival rate compared to present arrival rate in Case Norrköping can provide a minor decrease in congestion levels. The gains of applying logistic become more distinct with larger number of HGV. At high HGV demand such as scenario 1404 HGV, total delay hours can be decreased between 20 and 40 percent with a suitable construction logistic solution. / <p>Examensarbetet är utfört vid Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap (ITN) vid Tekniska fakulteten, Linköpings universitet</p>

Dynamic equilibrium on a transportation network : mathematical porperties and economic application / Équilibre dynamique sur un réseau de transport : propriétés mathématiques et applications économiques

Wagner, Nicolas 24 January 2012 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur les modèles d'équilibre dynamique sur un réseau de transport et de leurs applications à l'affectation de trafic. Elle vise à proposer une formulation à la fois générale, mathématiquement rigoureuse et microéconomiquement cohérente de l'équilibre dynamique. Une attention toute particulière est accordée à la représentation de la demande de transport et plus spécifiquement à la modélisation des hétérogénéités dans les préférences des usagers du réseau, ainsi que de leurs stratégies de choix d'horaires dans leurs déplacements. Tout d'abord nous exprimons l'équilibre dynamique comme un jeu de Nash avec un continuum de joueurs. Cette formulation nous permet d'obtenir un résultat d'existence. Celui-ci s'applique notamment au plus simple des modèles d'équilibre dynamique, où les usagers sont identiques et ne choisissent pas leurs horaires de départ. Ensuite, nous présentons deux modèles d'équilibre pour lesquels une solution analytique peut être établie. Le premier est une généralisation du modèle de goulot de Vickrey. Alors que Vickrey considère une distribution des horaires préférés d'arrivée en forme de S, nous traitons de distributions quelconques. Le deuxième modèle proposé est un réseau à péage avec deux routes et des usagers dont la valeur du temps est distribuée. Ce modèle nous permet d'investiguer les efficacités relatives de différentes stratégies de tarification et de voir comment celles-ci sont affectés par le niveau d'hétérogénéité dans la valeur du temps. Pour finir, un modèle calculable est présenté et des méthodes de résolution sont proposées. Le modèle est testé sur le réseau routier national. Par ailleurs, il est exploité pour tester une tarification modulée en fonction du temps dont l'objectif est d'atténuer la congestion lors des grands départs de vacances / This thesis is focused on dynamic user equilibrium (DUE) models and theirapplications to traffic assignment. It aims at providing a mathematically rigorous and general formulation for the DUE. Particular attention is paid to the representation of transport demand and more specifically to trip scheduling and users with heterogeneous preferences.The DUE is first expressed as a Nash game with a continuum of players. It strongly relies on up-to-date results from mathematical economics. This formulation allows to prove an existence result for DUE. This results notably applies to one of the simplest dynamic user equilibrium model, where users are homogeneous and departure time choice is not allowed.Then, two simple DUE models for which the solutions can be derived analytically are presented. The first one is a generalization of the Vickrey's bottleneck model. Whereas Vickrey assumed that the distribution of preferred arrival time is S-shaped, we consider more general distributions. In the second model, we have a two-route tolled network where users are continuously heterogeneous with respect to their value of time. This allows us to conduct a study on the relative efficiencies of various pricing strategy and how it is affected by the level of heterogeneity in users' value of time.Finally, a computable model is designed and corresponding solution methods are proposed. A test on the french national road network is conducted. The model is used to assess an hypothetical time-varying pricing scheme intended to ease summer traffic congestion
