Scalability of dynamic traffic assignment

[摘要] (cont.) The new system is evaluated on two real-world networks under various scenarios. Empirical results of the case studies show that the proposed OD estimation algorithm is insensitive to an increase in the number of OD pairs or sensors, and the computation time is reduced from minutes to a few seconds. The parallel simulation is found to maintain accurate output as compared to the sequential simulation, and with adaptive load-balancing, it considerably speeds up the network models even under non-recurrent incident scenarios. The results demonstrate the practical nature of the methodology and its scalability to large-scale real-world problems.
