Determining optimum configuration of one-way and two-way streets using shortest path travel costs based on results of traffic assignment
Abstract
Traffic
congestion is one of the major problems in transportation field. To reduce
unfavorable impact of that problem, one of the conventional applications is to
find optimal or near-optimal configuration of one-way streets on road networks.
When some of two-way streets in the network are converted to one-way, which may
be cheaper than other possible improvements, the performance of the road system
may increase. Thus, this arrangement should be evaluated in order to determine
its possible effects. For this purpose, a bilevel heuristic solution algorithm
is proposed to find optimal configuration of one-way streets on road networks
in this study. The upper level deals with finding optimal configuration of
one-way streets by minimizing the total flow (demand) weighted shortest path
travel costs (distance) while user equilibrium link flows are determined in the
lower level. Shortest path travel costs between OD pairs are obtained after
executing traffic assignment module of VISUM software by considering link travel
times according to created network configuration in the upper level. To make
more attractive one-way streets, we have used the parameter of α which is
multiplied with the length of one-way streets to increase its speed. The
bilevel heuristic solution algorithm is combined with VISUM and applied to
Sioux-Falls city network. The results of near-optimal arrangement of one-way
streets are compared with those of base case in terms of objective function
considered. Additionally, sensitivity analysis was performed to investigate how
the algorithm reacts to the variation of the parameter of α. Results showed
that developed algorithm may be considered for finding optimal configuration of
one–way streets on urban road networks.
