TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Optimization of Highway Networks and Traffic Forecasting JO - Physica A: statistical mechanics and its applications A1 - Schadschneider, Andreas A1 - Knospe, W A1 - Santen, L A1 - Schreckenberg, Michael SP - 165 EP - 173 VL - 346 IS - 1-2 N2 - The understanding of traffic dynamics on highway networks is essential for traffic control. Nowadays realistic microscopic models exist that allow highly efficient (faster-than-real-time) simulations of large networks. These simulations can be used not only to determine the state of the network from incomplete information, but also for traffic forecasting. We also discuss an analysis of the highway network in Germany to identify bottlenecks and possible optimization strategies.
