Tradable Credit Scheme for Control of Evolutionary Traffic Flows to System Optimum: Model and its Convergence
We propose a dynamic tradable credit scheme for control of the day-to-day evolution process of traffic flows towards the system optimum (SO) state in a traffic network with elastic demand. In the scheme, the d...
