Modeling of the optimal distribution scheme of transport flows in the street-road network considering the influence of a pedestrian traffic

Abstract

The introduction of intelligent transport systems involves the automated selection of optimal solutions for all road users in real time. The aim of the research is to develop methods for modeling the optimal scheme of traffic flow distribution along the road network, taking into account the influence of pedestrian traffic. The paper covers the mathematical models of intersections in various schemes for organizing pedestrian traffic, develops an analytical apparatus for estimating vehicle delays in terms of pedestrian flows. For choosing the scheme of the movement organization under the conditions of uncertainty, the apparatus of mathematical game theory is used. Methods for calculating the delays of vehicles taking into account pedestrian traffic are made within the framework of hypotheses and attitudes of the author’s model of the distribution of traffic flows over the network, which is aimed at solving optimization of transport problems in the online mode. Considering the pedestrian flows allows more accurately simulating the real traffic situation and fast responding to its changes.
