AbstractWhen a disaster such as a large earthquake occurs, the resulting breakdown in public transportation leaves urban areas with many people who are struggling to return home. With people from various surrounding areas gathered in the city, unusually heavy congestion may occur on the roads when the commuters start to return home all at once on foot. In this chapter, it is assumed that a large earthquake caused by the Nankai Trough occurs at 2 p.m. on a weekday in Osaka City, where there are many commuters. We then assume a scenario in which evacuation from a resulting tsunami is carried out in the flooded area and people return home on foot in the other areas. At this time, evacuation and returning-home routes with the shortest possible travel times are obtained by solving the evacuation planning problem. However, the road network big data for Osaka City make such optimization difficult. Therefore, we propose methods for simplifying the large network while keeping those properties necessary for solving the optimization problem and then recovering the network. The obtained routes are then verified by large-scale pedestrian simulation, and the effect of the optimization is verified.

The Impact

Planning of road networks is fundamental for public transportation. The impact of road network density on public transportation has been extensively studied, but few studies in this regard involved evaluation indicators for connectivity and layout of road networks. With 29 cities in China as the study cases, this paper quantifies the layout structure of the road network based on the network’s betweenness centralization and establishes a multivariate linear regression model to perform regression of the logarithm of the frequency of per capita public transportation on betweenness centralization. It is found in the present work that there is a significant correlation between the layout structure of an urban road network and the residents’ utilization degree of public transportation. A greater betweenness centralization of the urban road network, namely a more centralized road network, means a higher frequency of per capita public transportation of urban residents and a higher degree of the residents’ utilization of public transportation. In the development of public transportation, centralized and axial-shaped layout structures of road networks can be promoted to improve the utilization of public transportation.

The discovery of spatio-temporal dependencies within urban road networks that cause Recurrent Congestion (RC) patterns is crucial for numerous real-world applications, including urban planning and the scheduling of public transportation services. While most existing studies investigate temporal patterns of RC phenomena, the influence of the road network topology on RC is often overlooked. This article proposes the ST-Discovery algorithm, a novel unsupervised spatio-temporal data mining algorithm that facilitates effective data-driven discovery of RC dependencies induced by the road network topology using real-world traffic data. We factor out regularly reoccurring traffic phenomena, such as rush hours, mainly induced by the daytime, by modelling and systematically exploiting temporal traffic load outliers. We present an algorithm that first constructs connected subgraphs of the road network based on the traffic speed outliers. Second, the algorithm identifies pairs of subgraphs that indicate spatio-temporal correlations in their traffic load behaviour to identify topological dependencies within the road network. Finally, we rank the identified subgraph pairs based on the dependency score determined by our algorithm. Our experimental results demonstrate that ST-Discovery can effectively reveal topological dependencies in urban road networks.

Routing Scheme

Despite high importance of mass passenger transport for ensuring mobility of urban population, the current period is characterized by a pronounced shift in priorities in implementation of measures for development of the transport system of a large city towards private transport. Along with impossibility of maintaining high rates of construction and reconstruction of the main street and road network, such a position regarding urban planning results in significant overload of almost the entire transport infrastructure of a large city. In the opinion of most experts, key measures aimed at stabilizing the transport situation in cities should comprise implementation of a policy of active development of the mass passenger transportation system. Among the issues of organizing passenger transport operation, the most interesting is the procedure for tracing routes followed by subsequent development of a rational routing scheme, since in many respects the urban passenger travel time will depend on the results there-of. Improvement of the passenger transport routing scheme, considered in relationship with development of the city’s main street and road network, will allow achieving the required level of convenience by increasing traffic flow speed. After reviewing domestic and foreign works devoted to the study of urban transportation systems, it was found that the known methods of development of passenger transport routing schemes do not fully consider the interaction of traffic flows with urban main roads. Often, experts pay insufficient attention to optimization criteria that allow a comprehensive analysis of rationality of routing schemes options. Analysis of the requirements for bus routing, the choice of priority directions for their development and convenience of movement made it possible to generalize the principles of designing routing schemes and to assign criteria for their optimization. It has been established that speed is the most significant criterion for optimizing transportation systems, considering the peculiarities of the organization of traffic flows on the road network of a large city and its transport and operational conditions. Based on the routing experience accumulated over almost a century, an approach has been developed to reasonable assignment of measures for reorganizing the routing scheme, which allows us to consider the factors that determine the technical condition of the road network and the characteristics of traffic flows. Its general idea is to connect separate links of the transport network and to sequentially develop a set of competing route options, one of which will later be included in the rational routing scheme.

Existing trajectory-clustering methods do not consider road-network connectivity, road directionality, and real path length while measuring the similarity between different road-network trajectories. This paper proposes a trajectory-clustering method based on road-network-sensitive features, which can solve the problem of similarity metrics among trajectories in the road network, and effectively combine their local and overall similarity features. First, the method performs the primary clustering of trajectories based on the overall vehicle motion trends. Then, the map-matched trajectories are clustered based on the road segment density, connectivity, and corner characteristics. Finally, clustering is then merged based on the multi-area similarity measure. The visualization and experimental results on real road-network trajectories show that the proposed method is more effective and comprehensive than existing methods, and more suitable for urban road planning, public transportation planning, and congested road detection.

<p>In connection with the important role of the road network and connectivity of public transport in the area of the City of Depok, there is a problem called the missing link. The purpose of this study is reviewed from the aspects of road network performance, connectivity of activity centers, TOD areas and transportation nodes, then obtained by loading the Origin Destination Matrix (MAT) to the road network with the help of transportation modeling software using Saturn. Travel speed between cities/regencies in Jabodetabek or the origin destination of Depok City does not reach the target speed of 40 km/hour, and speeds between regions and within regencies/cities in Depok city. Tangerang Regency and Bekasi Regency have the lowest speeds, with the lowest values being 25.06 km/hour and 25.39 km/hour. So that the need to increase the capacity of the road network to and from Tangerang and Bekasi districts, for Depok city the average speed that occurs within the city is 28.81 km our, so it is necessary to increase the capacity of the road network. The TOD area will have a missing link if the TOD has no connectivity with the mass transit node at a distance of more than 800 meters and is not on the main high-capacity mass transit line, such as the Cinere TOD. The need for handling the missing link TOD area of the road network in the Greater Jakarta area, mainly Cinere - Fatmawati Station. And there is 1 PKN that is not connected by public transportation to other PKN and is not connected with PKW in the same City, namely Cimanggis District, Depok City.</p>

Introduction. Recently, in large and medium-sized cities, the increase in traffic has been exacerbated by the growth of motorization and the lack of development of the road network. Increasing vehicle traffic to a critical level leads to overcapacity of the arteries and, as a consequence, increases the level of delay. Public urban mass passenger transport is one of the most vulnerable groups in this regard. In order to unload the city’s street network, it is necessary to reduce the level of road traffic. One of the effective measures to deal with this problem is to increase the attractiveness of urban mass passenger transport, i.e. to ensure an adequate level of service for passengers including high speed, which can be increased by giving priority to bus traffic. One of the prospects for prioritizing public urban transport is the development of individual lanes or streets for urban rolling stock only. Due to the lack of criteria for the allocation of separate lanes for urban rolling stock, they have begun to appear in the vast majority on the main streets of the city. There are a large number of urban highways used for the operation of only one public transport route with dedicated lanes on them. The need for such arrangements is questionable. It is therefore necessary to formulate the criteria that justify the need for a separate urban passenger lane on a given stretch of the city network. Thus, the purpose of this work is to identify patterns between traffic parameters and the parameters of the urban public passenger transport programme, which will determine the criteria for the need for a separate lane for urban land transport on each individual stretch of the network.Materials and methods. This article deals with the method of determining the need for a separate lane for public urban passenger transport on a given stretch of the road network. In order to improve the quality of the transport of passengers, a mathematical model has been developed, based on such indicators as the level of traffic delay and the share of passenger traffic in the total flow of participants. Results. The necessary conditions have been laid down the strict implementation of which determines the need to ensure the priority of urban mass public passenger transport on the section of the city’s street network under consideration.Discussion and conclusion. The dependencies obtained make it possible to identify the need to ensure the priority of urban transport.

&lt;p&gt;Routing on a road network requires geographical points on the road network that correspond best to the addresses of the given origin and destination, here called snapping points. The technique to determine such snapping points is also called offline map matching. Conventional routing machines use the shortest perpendicular distance from a building&amp;#8217;s centroid to the road network for this purpose. However, in some cases, this technique leads to suboptimal results when the access to a building is not reachable from the road segment with the shortest perpendicular distance. We used open-source data &amp;#8212; multispectral images, OpenStreetMap data, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data &amp;#8212; to perform a cost-distance analysis and determined the most likely access to buildings. Therefore, we assumed that the path to the building shows less vegetation cover, minimal slope of the terrain and avoids building footprints. Our results are validated based on a predetermined Ideal Snapping Area for different weightings of the parameters vegetation, slope und building footprints. We also compared our results with a conventional routing machine (Open Source Route Machine - ) that uses the perpendicular distance. The validation-rate of our approach is up to 90%, depending on the weighting of chosen parameters, whereas the conventional routing machine shows a validation-rate of 81%. The optimized snapping points can be used to determine enhanced stop locations in passenger transport to improve services such as door-to-door transportation (e.g. demand-responsive transport).&lt;/p&gt;

Models can provide valuable decision support in the ongoing effort to create a sustainable and effective modality mix in urban settings. Modern transportation infrastructures must meaningfully combine public transport with other mobility initiatives such as shared and on-demand systems. The increase of options and possibilities in multi-modal travel implies an increase in complexity when planning and implementing such an infrastructure. Multi-agent systems are well-suited for addressing questions that require an understanding of movement patterns and decision processes at the individual level. Such models should feature intelligent software agents with flexible internal logic and accurately represent the core functionalities of new modalities. We present a model in which agents can choose between owned modalities, station-based bike sharing modalities, and free-floating car sharing modalities as they exit the public transportation system and seek to finish their personal multi-modal trip. Agents move on a multi-modal road network where dynamic constraints in route planning are evaluated based on an agent’s query. Modality switch points (MSPs) along the route indicate the locations at which an agent can switch from one modality to the next (e.g., a bike rental station to return a used rental bike and continue on foot). The technical implementation of MSPs within the road network was a central focus in this work. To test their efficacy in a controlled experimental setting, agents optimized only the travel time of their multi-modal routes. However, the functionalities of the model enable the implementation of different optimization criteria (e.g., financial considerations or climate neutrality) and unique agent preferences as well. Our findings show that the implemented MSPs enable agents to switch between modalities at any time, allowing for the kind of versatile, individual, and spontaneous travel that is common in modern multi-modal settings.
