Abstract
Currently used traffic control measures, such as traffic signals, ramp metering
installations etc., are often not designed to influence the route choice of
drivers. However, traffic control measures influence the travel times that are
experienced in the network. Since route choice, at least for a part, is based
on experienced travel times, the measures also influence the long-term route
choice. This influence can be seen as a side-effect of the measures, but in
this paper we will investigate the possibilities to explicitly use the
influence of the traffic control measures to change the route choice. With
basic traffic flow and route choice models we investigate possible equilibrium
turning rates for a network with two routes. We use two different types of
control: speed control and outflow control. The control method used is a simple
controller which makes the analytical investigation of the effects of the
controller possible, but the results can be extended to more sophisticated
control methods.
