Podium Session 5: How and When Cordon Metering Can Reduce Travel Times

Title: How and When Cordon Metering Can Reduce Travel Times
Authors: Jean Doig, Carlos F. Daganzo, Michael J. Cassidy
Abstract: The paper addresses two questions regarding cordon metering that have until now gone unanswered. The first of these pertains to how and where a metered cordon ought to be placed in a city to be of greatest benefit. A simple 3-step rule is proposed that can be readily applied in real settings, and that we call the cordon layout conjecture, or CLC. I...

Podium Session 5: N‑MP: A Network-State-Based Max Pressure Algorithm Incorporating Regional Perimeter Control

Title: N-MP: A Network-State-Based Max Pressure Algorithm Incorporating Regional Perimeter Control
Authors: Hao Liu, Vikash V. Gayah
Abstract: The Max Pressure (MP) framework has been shown to be an effective real-time decentralized traffic signal control algorithm. However, despite its superior performance and desirable features – such as the maximum stability property – it may still suffer from deterioration in network mobility due to the rise of congestion within specific regions of an...

Podium Session 5: Integrated Departure and Boundary Control for Low-Altitude Air City Transport Systems

Title: Integrated Departure and Boundary Control for Low-Altitude Air City Transport Systems
Authors: Yazan Safadi, Nikolas Geroliminis, Jack Haddad
Abstract: Connectivity and digitalization will enable new control measures in urban air mobility operations and open new ways for integrating these measures in real-time traffic management. Hence, new control strategies can be designed to regulate both demand and supply of LowAltitude Air city Transport (LAAT) systems. This can be achieved by adjusting aircr...

Podium Session 5: Hypercongestion, Autonomous Vehicle, and Urban Spatial Structure

Title: Hypercongestion, Autonomous Vehicle, and Urban Spatial Structure
Authors: Takao Dantsuji, Yuki Takayama
Abstract: This paper examines the effects of hypercongestion mitigation by perimeter control and the introduction of autonomous vehicles on the spatial structures of cities. By incorporating a bathtub model, we develop a land use model where hypercongestion occurs in the downtown area and interacts with land use. We show that hypercongestion mitigation by pe...
