Control possibilities of intersections based on estimated costs of traffic

Road transport is one of the main inland transport modes providing flexible house to house services for the people all over the world Control of road traffic flows in urban areas in intersections are modelled in this article. Cost of CO2, CO, CH, NOx, PM and value of travel time had been used by the authors in order to estimate the cost of intersection. The article presents assumptions for constructing the controlling model and gives simulation results. Traffic flow parameters, such as traffic flow concentration and traffic flow speed are presented based on real traffic data of Budapest.

Economic and Social Modelling of Urban Traffic Controlling

Abstract Road traffic flows in intersections in inner city environment are modeled in this article. Cost of CO 2 , CO, CH, NOx, PM and value of travel time have been used in order to estimate the economical and social costs arising at the intersections. The article presents assumptions for constructing the mathematical model. It describes the mathematical model and gives simulation results. Traffic flow parameters, as traffic flow concentration and traffic flow speed are presented as based on real traffic data. Different controlling policies are demonstrated.

Investigation of route choice behaviour in passenger transport

The continually increasing population, the rising economic activity and the permanent race for the rise of economic prosperity, led us to the increase of motorisation. Transportation sector has an important role, because it is not only using the lacking fossil energy sources and polluting the environment, but because of our social and economic structure it is the sector that can hardly change because of the big social resistance. One of the substantial preconditions for the change into an environmental friendly, sustainable system is correct data provision to the regulator (quality and quantity as well). One way for reduction of transport related environmental pollution is to give right price signal to the users with internalisation of transport related external costs. In our article we tried to examine the route choice behaviour in Hungary focusing on toll roads. Our aim in this paper is to analyze the correlation of control possibilities of such econometric phenomena with mathematic tools.
