Abstract

This paper provides a chance-constrained programming approach for transportation planning and operations under uncertainty. The major contribution of this paper is to approximate a joint chance-constrained Cell Transmission Model based System Optimum Dynamic Traffic Assignment with only partial distributional information about uncertainty as a linear program which is computationally efficient. Numerical experiments have been conducted to show the performance of the proposed approach compared with other two workable approaches based on a cumulative distribution function and a sampling method. This new approach can be used as a pragmatic tool for system optimum dynamic traffic control and management.
