State-of-the-art in Dynamic Traffic Assignment: An International Symposium

该提案将支持一个研讨会，这将是第一次聚集动态交通分配领域的领先国际研究人员的活动。该领域关注的问题是在道路网络上建立动态交通相互作用的模型，以及驾驶员在这种网络上选择路线和出发时间的相互关系。需要这些模型来支持设计和评估为未来设想的许多运输措施，这些措施具有基本的动态因素。从实时司机信息到影响需求时间分布的拥堵费。研讨会的目的是评估在发展这些模型中出现的令人敬畏的数学和计算问题的进展，并确定未来研究工作的差距和主要挑战。本次研讨会将把英国在这一领域的强大研究基础置于“世界地图”的中心，并为所有与会者提供一个重要的交流机会。它还将确立一个持续合作的重点，这种合作将在专题讨论会结束后通过一个常设科学委员会和一个用于传播论文的网站进行。

This proposal will support a symposium that will be the first event to gather leading international researchers in the area of Dynamic Traffic Assignment . This area is concerned with the problems in modelling dynamic traffic interactions over a road network, and the inter-relationship with drivers' choices of route and departure time over such networks. These models are needed to support the design and evaluation of the many transport measures envisaged for the future that have a fundamentally dynamic element. These range from real-time driver information to congestion charges affecting the temporal distribution of demand. The purpose of the symposium is to evaluate progress with the formidable mathematical and computational problems that arise in developing these models, and to identify the gaps and major challenges for future research efforts. This symposium will put the UK's strong research base in this area at the centre of the 'world map', as well as providing a major networking opportunity for all attendees. It will also establish a focus for continuing collaboration that will be pursued after the symposium through a standing scientific committee, and though a web-site that will be used to disseminate papers.
