Proposing a Simulation-Based Dynamic System Optimal Traffic Assignment Algorithm for SUMO: An Approximation of Marginal Travel Time

Abstract: User equilibrium (UE) and system optimal (SO) are among the essential principles for solving the traffic assignment problem. Many studies have been performed on solving the UE and SO traffic assignment problem; however, the majority of them are either static (which can lead to inaccurate predictions due to long aggregation intervals) or analytical (which is computationally expensive for large-scale networks). Besides, most of the well-known micro/meso traffic simulators, do not provide a SO solution of the traffic assignment problem. To this end, this study proposes a new simulation-based dynamic system optimal (SB-DSO) traffic assignment algorithm for the SUMO simulator, which can be applied on large-scale networks. A new swapping/convergence algorithm, which is based on the logit route choice model, is presented in this study. This swapping algorithm is compared with the Method of Successive Average (MSA) which is very common in the literature.  Also, a surrogate model of margina.... https://www.tib-op.org/ojs/index.php/scp/article/view/119
