We present a cap-and-trade scheme for the regulation of ridesharing. As opposed to marginal-pricing schemes, cap-and-trade schemes limit the quantity of transportation. Recognizing that a central authority may not be able to adequately regulate quantity, we let the quantity be determined according to demand for ridesharing. We use demand to compute the social cost of selfish driving in a virtual world where ridesharing does not exist and set this cost as a limit on the amount of social cost that a transportation network company (TNC) can incur. We perform analysis in the static case to show that our scheme has the effect of incentivizing the positive effects of ridesharing, i.e., carpooling, while limiting its negative effects, e.g., deadheading. We also present and discuss a practical implementation of the scheme. In implementation, the virtual social costs would be issued as credits through a central service and the actual social costs would be issued as debits; a net-positive balance would be imposed by the central service and TNCs could trade credits and debits on the open market.

Highway scenarios are highly dynamic environments where several vehicles interact following their own goal, leading to different combinations of scenes that also change over time. Human drivers adapt their driving behavior integrating current information with their former experiences. In a similar way, an autonomous system performing any driving activity should be able to integrate information learned from former interactions. Reinforcement Learning has shown promising results, but it should only be applied to autonomous vehicles if the system is also able to fulfill safety and integrity requirements on a deterministic and reproducible way. This paper presents a planning system that is able to learn over time, always complying to the safety requirements. Our planner integrates several layers interacting with each other, combining the advantages of Reinforcement Learning based systems and reactive systems. We present a planner that ensures driving safety on short horizons and integrates previous experiences to optimize the expected reward. We evaluate our method in simulation comparing different learning techniques. Our results show that the planning system is able to adaptively integrate this experience outperforming rule-based strategies.

This paper studies the problem of estimation and computation of reliable least-time paths in stochastic time-varying (STV) networks with spatio-temporal dependencies. For a given desired confidence level $alpha$, the least-time paths from any origin to a given destination node are to be found over a desired planning horizon. In STV networks, least-time path finding approaches aim to incorporate an element of reliability to help travelers better plan their trips to prepare for the risk of arriving later or traveling for longer than desired. A label-correcting algorithm that incorporates time-dependence of the travel time distributions is proposed. The algorithm incorporates a Monte Carlo sampling approach for a path travel time estimation with time-dependence, which can also be used as an approximate solution method with spatial link travel-time correlations. Numerical results on the large-scale Chicago network are provided to test for the performance of the algorithms and the robustness of solutions. The trade-off between accuracy and efficiency of the approximate solution method compared to a Monte Carlo simulation-based approach is discussed and evaluated.

The passenger demand of urban rail transit is dynamic and uneven in time and space, and traditional train plan of single train formation cannot adapt to dynamic passenger demand. In order to solve the redundancy of train capacity caused by uneven passenger demand in bi-directions, we proposed a mixed-integer linear programing model (MILP) to optimize the train formation plan and rolling stock scheduling integrally based on known passenger demand and timetable for an urban rail transit line. The turnaround operation, coupling/decoupling operation, the entering/exiting depot operation of train services, the number of available trains and the capacity of depot are involved. The model is solved by the CPLEX solver. As illustration, the model is applied to Beijing Batong line to verify its effectiveness and performance. The results show that through this integrated approach the number of operation formations can reduce 44% and the number of rolling stocks can reduce 20%. It demonstrated that the proposed model can effectively reduce the operation cost while satisfy the uneven demand.

In vehicle-centralized train control design, the routing function is transferred from interlocking equipment to vehicle, which asks for the ability of train to schedule feasible route autonomously. This paper describes an autonomous routing schedule (ARS) model based on graph theory. Firstly, by converting key elements of rail network into directed graph nodes and marking the weights of arcs based on section transit time’s prediction, a topological graph model reflecting railway structure’s characteristic is set up. According to the graph model, a heuristic algorithm is used to search the feasible route with shortest transit time. Considering the limitation of rail state’s information gathered by trains in decentralized control design, arc’s weight (the prediction of transit time in rail section) is updated in real time based on the communication between trains so that the routing schedule can be dynamically adjusted based on section’s availability. The computational tests are performed on Beijing Daxing Airport Station. The result shows the feasibility of model in searching route with reasonable transit time. It’s potential for rerouting based on disturbances and resolve delays is also analyzed.

Traffic accidents have been a severe issue in metropolises with the development of traffic flow. This paper explores the theory and application of a recently developed machine learning technique, namely Import Vector Machines (IVMs), in real-time crash risk analysis, which is a hot topic to reduce traffic accidents. Historical crash data and corresponding traffic data from Shanghai Urban Expressway System were employed and matched. Traffic conditions are labelled as dangerous (i.e. probably leading to a crash) and safe (i.e. a normal traffic condition) based on 5-minute measurements of average speed, volume and occupancy. The IVM algorithm is trained to build the classifier and its performance is compared to the popular and successfully applied technique of Support Vector Machines (SVMs). The main findings indicate that IVMs could successfully be employed in real-time identification of dangerous pro-active traffic conditions. Furthermore, similar to the “support points” of the SVM, the IVM model uses only a fraction of the training data to index kernel basis functions, typically a much smaller fraction than the SVM, and its classification rates are similar to those of SVMs. This gives the IVM a computational advantage over the SVM, especially when the size of the training data set is large.

The environmental and economic advantages of renewable-energy technologies inspire efforts to encourage the use of electric vehicles (EVs) by business owners and individuals. Large-scale electric mobility is affected by inadequate charging infrastructure and battery technology. This study formulates a bi-level optimization program that aims to minimize the cost of EV charging facility deployment and utilization considering EV users’ travel and charging expenses. A hybrid methodology is developed that (i) converts the proposed formulation into an equivalent single-level formulation, (ii) implements an active-set based technique, and (iii) estimates travel costs using a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) concept. Numerical experiments on an empirical case study show the performance of the proposed algorithm and some managerial insights. The results are also compared to a benchmark algorithm, which indicate that the proposed methodology can determine near-optimal solutions efficiently.

In traditional methods, fundamental diagrams (FDs) were calibrated offline with a limited number of links. Although few recent studies have paid attention to employing cluster techniques to calibrate link FDs for network level analysis, they were mainly focused on heuristic clustering methods, such as k-means and hierarchical clustering algorithm which might lead to poor performance when there are overlaps between clusters. This paper proposed a mixture model-based clustering framework to calibrate link FDs for network level simulation. This method can be applied to discover a relatively small number of representative link FDs when simulating very large networks with time and budget constraints. In addition, the proposed method can be used to investigate the spatial distribution of links with similar FDs. The proposed method is tested with 567 links using one year’s data from the Northern California.

The transits constitute the traffic skeleton of the city. With the installation of the high-tech sensors and the emergence of the high-speed communication, interest to grant bus priority via traffic signals grows rapidly during recent years. Pre-signal is an additional traffic signal located upstream of the main signal, which is used to discontinue the private cars and accordingly allow buses jumping the car queue. Compared with the traditional dedicated bus lane through the whole link, the pre-signal can provide bus priority meanwhile minimizing the negative impacts on car traffic. In this paper, we propose an adaptive signal strategy for a traffic network by adjusting the pre-signal as well as the main signal in order to minimize the total passenger delay. A macroscopic model based on cell transmission model is developed, where the link is partitioned into the car cell, the bus cell and the mixed cell. The merging and the diverging of the car flow and the bus flow are elaborated modeled for each type of the cell. With the aim to obtain the signal setting in real time, the harmony search algorithm is adopted to solve the optimization problem. Finally, the case studies illustrate the efficacy of the proposed strategy.

The Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMV) and in particular the electric scooters enjoy increasing popularity and their use has become widespread in the urban environment. The use of existing infrastructure, such as the sidewalks, by escooter drivers, poses a new challenge to policy makers trying to regulate the use of this new mode of transport so that it will be smoothly integrated in the urban networks. So far, there is limited research on the movement of electric scooters and their interaction with pedestrians, depriving the authorities of tools to draw and enforce effective policies. In this paper, we explore the applicability of the social force model for pedestrian dynamics to simulate the movement of e-scooters and the interaction between e-scooters and pedestrians. To conduct this study, we extract electric scooter and pedestrian trajectories through image analysis of videos containing pedestrian and e-scooter movement. Based on the extracted trajectories, scenarios and the respective initial conditions are generated. The social force model is used for the scenarios, and simulated trajectories of escooter and pedestrian movement are produced. The simulated trajectories are compared to the experimental trajectories with the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). Finally, the parameters of the social force model and the free speed of the vehicle are estimated with the Cross Entropy Method (CEM).

Finally, the parameters of the social force model and the free speed of the vehicle are estimated with the Cross Entropy Method (CEM).","PeriodicalId":394538,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124686491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
