N2  - A traffic simulation and optimization model has been developed to analyze traffic flow in large networks with severe queuing. The model can be used to evaluate the impacts (e.g., travel time, operating costs, accidents, fuel consumption, and pollutant emissions) of any assignment over time and to minimize combinations of such impacts. The influences on optimal assignment of traffic inflow rates and durations, relative route lengths and capacities, queue storage capacities, and other factors are shown for a simple network. A comparative analysis of route-diversion and capacity-expansion alternatives is given for the more complex network on Maryland's Eastern Shore.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
