Network transmission model: A dynamic traffic model at network level (poster)

New IT techniques allow communication and coordination between traffic measures. To best use this, one needs to coordinate over longer distances. Optimization of the measures is not possible using traditional microscopic or macroscopic simulation models. The Network Fundamental Diagram (NFD) describes the relation between flow and density on a network level. This paper introduces a traffic model which uses this relationship, representing traffic and traffic dynamics at a high spatial scale. The model shown to work on an example network. The model can be used to predict the effect of routing information or perimeter control.
