Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the influence of structures of road networks on the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) as a fundamental property of MFD by numerical simulations. It is found that flow on networks with coarseness and fineness is lower than the flow on networks without coarseness and fineness. We investigated the rules closing and opening nodes based on the density of them for controlling traffic flows on networks. It is found that free flow phase, dead lock phase, and controlled phase emerge by this rule.
