Theory of highway traffic signals

Newell, Gordon F.
1989

This report gives a comprehensive survey of the theory of highway traffic signals including isolated signals, one-way arterials, two-way arterials, and networks, limited however, to the common right angle junctions. The emphasis is on the logistics of control strategies rather than recipes for implementation. It is anticipated, however, that the implementation of some of the strategies described here will give substantial reductions in delays as compared with existing procedures.

Spatio-temporal Road Charge: A Potential Remedy for Increasing Local Streets Congestion

Bayen, Alexandre

2017

US population. Additionally, the emergence of large ridesourcing or transportation network companies (TNCs) totaling up to tens of thousands of registered drivers in single cities (all using the same routing app), there is further consolidation. Across the US, this has led to new or increased congestion patterns that are progressively asphyxiating local streets due to so-called “cut-through traffic.” As neighborhoods have started to realize this, private citizens have begun to resist, by trying to sabotage or trick the apps, or shaming the through traffic through opinion articles, and news...
