Abstract: | A non-linear area traffic control system with limited capacity is considered in this paper. Optimal signal settings and link capacity expansions can be determined while trip distribution and network flow are in equilibrium. This problem can be formulated as a non-linear mathematical program with equilibrium constraints. For the objective function a non-linear constrained optimization program for signal settings and link capacity expansion is determined. For the constraint set the elastic user equilibrium traffic assignment obeying Wardrop’s first principle can be formulated as a variational inequality. Since the constrained optimization problem is non-convex, only local optima can be obtained. In this paper, a novel algorithm using a non-smooth trust region approach is proposed. Numerical tests are performed using a real data city network and various example test networks in which the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method are confirmed as compared to other well-known solution methods. |
