Multi-period location of flow intercepting portable facilities of an intelligent transportation system, 53 . pp. 4-13. ISSN 0038-0121. (doi:10.1016/j.seps.2016.01.001) (KAR id:69979)

Abstract

Intelligent transportation systems are of great importance in urban traffic management. In this context variable message signs (VMS) play a major role in providing drivers with useful information during their trips.

In this paper we consider the problem of finding the optimal location of a set of portable VMS on an urban network where flow patterns change during a time horizon.

We propose two original solving approaches based on flow intercepting facility location ILP models.

The paper presents an application of the proposed approaches to real-like test networks and discusses the results obtained providing some indications on their practical applications.
