Ravi Seshadri (Department of Technology, Management and Economics ; Technical University of Denmark, DTU) will present "Transportation Network Management under Uncertainty"

Abstract :
This talk will cover three specific topics under the broad theme of "Transportation Network Management Under Uncertainty". The first concerns the modeling of uncertainty within static traffic assignment models and proposes a ‘consistent’ reliability-based user equilibrium model with risk-averse travelers and endogenous travel time correlations. Next, I will talk about the handling of uncertainty within an operational setting through real-time traffic management systems. Specifically, topic two describes approaches for improving the accuracy and efficiency of online-calibration for real-time simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment systems. Finally, building on this, topic three will describe a real-time framework for predictive distance-based road pricing and comparisons against cordon-based schemes.
