Abstract

This paper presents a dynamic model of peak period traffic congestion that considers a limited number of bottlenecks.The model predicts the temporal distribution of traffic volumes with an elastic demand model. In response to changes in the traffic conditions travellers can switch to a different mode, divert to an alternate route, or shift trip forward or backward in time to avoid a long delay.
