Abstract
Provided is a traffic control system being capable of maintaining service quality provided by a toll-way. A traffic control system 1 includes a prediction unit 210 and a control unit 230. The prediction unit 210 predicts a traffic state on one path among a plurality of paths from a first location to a second location. The control unit 230 controls, when the traffic state predicted on the one path does not satisfy a predetermined service level, distributed numbers of vehicles among the plurality of paths on the first location in such a way that the traffic state on the one path satisfies the predetermined service level.
Claims8
A traffic control system comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
- predict a traffic state on one path among a plurality of paths from a first location to a second location;
- and
- control, when the traffic state predicted on the one path does not satisfy a predetermined service level, distributed numbers of vehicles among the plurality of paths on the first location by outputting a toll and a predicted value of an index related to a traffic state of the plurality of paths in such a way that the traffic state on the one path satisfies the predetermined service level, wherein
- the distributed numbers of vehicles is controlled by determining the toll of the one path in such a way that the traffic state on the one path satisfies the predetermined service level, based on a sensitivity model representing a distribution ratio among the plurality of paths on the first location to a difference of predicted values of indexes related to traffic states and a difference of tolls among the plurality of paths, and outputting the determined toll with the predicted value of the index related to a traffic state of each of the plurality of paths.
A traffic control method comprising:
- predicting a traffic state on one path among a plurality of paths from a first location to a second location;
- controlling, when the traffic state predicted on the one path does not satisfy a predetermined service level, distributed numbers of vehicles among the plurality of paths on the first location by outputting a toll and a predicted value of an index related to a traffic state of the plurality of paths in such a way that the traffic state on the one path satisfies the predetermined service level;
- and
- controlling the distributed numbers of vehicles by determining the toll of the one path in such a way that the traffic state on the one path satisfies the predetermined service level, based on a sensitivity model representing a distribution ratio among the plurality of paths on the first location to a difference of predicted values of indexes related to traffic states and a difference of tolls among the plurality of paths, and outputting the determined toll with the predicted value of the index related to a traffic state of each of the plurality of paths.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium recording thereon a program, causing a computer to perform a method comprising:
- predicting a traffic state on one path among a plurality of paths from a first location to a second location;
- and
- controlling, when the traffic state predicted on the one path does not satisfy a predetermined service level, distributed numbers of vehicles among the plurality of paths on the first location by outputting a toll and a predicted value of an index related to a traffic state of the plurality of paths in such a way that the traffic state on the one path satisfies the predetermined service level, wherein
- the distributed numbers of vehicles is controlled by determining the toll of the one path in such a way that the traffic state on the one path satisfies the predetermined service level, based on a sensitivity model representing a distribution ratio among the plurality of paths on the first location to a difference of predicted values of indexes related to traffic states and a difference of tolls among the plurality of paths, and outputting the determined toll with the predicted value of the index related to a traffic state of each of the plurality of paths.
