Review of traffic demand management strategies

Abstract

This review article seeks to determine the most effective strategies to reduce traffic congestion which have been implanted in different countries and cities around the world. In this review, previous research work was gathered focusing on approaches for mitigating traffic congestion issues. The paper discovered that there are two ways to control congestion which are through supply-side actions, and demand-side actions, the paper also discovered that traffic modelling and simulation software packages are crucial to decision-makers because of its capability to evaluate and simulate the effects of any suggested improvements or strategies to reduce traffic congestions for a certain street network and for a whole city.
