Binary integer modeling of the traffic flow optimization problem, in the case of an autonomous transportation system

摘要

Our research aimed to optimize the transportation processes through the binary integer modeling of cooperative vehicle control by linking the dynamic traffic assignment approach and controlling the autonomous transport system. Our paper's main contribution is a model transforming the optimal vehicle control problem into binary integer formulation, optimizing transport processes at the system level, and representing safety and dynamics related constraints on the vehicle level. Two small numerical case studies have illustrated the applicability and effectiveness of the model. (c) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
