Testing Traffic Control Strategies in Gaborone Using Dynamic Traffic Assignment Tools

Abstract

Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models are widely used for online and offline applications for efficient deployment of traffic control strategies and the evaluation of traffic management schemes and policies. A valid statistical methodology is proposed for assessing the successful implementation of traffic control strategies with regard to their inherit risk at the network efficiency and therefore providing a useful and easily applicable tool for practitioners in selecting the less risky alternative. In this paper we have considered a common method, Value-at-Risk assessment of financial portfolios, for the assessment of traffic control strategies using Dynamic Assignment Tools in the City Centre of Gaborone in Botswana and the results are presented here.
