DESCRIPTION:Professeur Moshe E. Ben-Akiva\, MIT\nConférence sur inscripti
 on >> s'inscrire en ligne\n\nAbstract\nIn the event of natural (e.g. a sno
 w storm) or man-made (e.g. new-year celebration) events\, transportation n
 etworks are a vulnerable and critical infrastructure. Properly managing bo
 th the increase in travel demand and the capacity loss can determine the s
 uccess of a traffic management system. \nModels of drivers' behavior and t
 raffic simulation are used to evaluate and refine traffic management plans
  for foreseen events\, as well as to tailor them in real time as events un
 fold. The technique combines three critical pieces: 1) behavioral models\,
  which simulate individual travelers' decision-making\, 2) dynamic traffic
  assignment\, which simulates the movements of vehicles on the road networ
 k\, and 3) data from traffic surveillance systems (e.g. counts and speeds 
 from loop detectors and point-to-point travel times from probe vehicles)\,
  which are used to calibrate the behavior and network models. The outputs 
 of such a model system are short-term predictions of the network condition
 s. Travelers' information provision and potential mitigation plans can the
 n be evaluated based on predicted network conditions.\nTwo advanced traffi
 c simulation systems developed at the MIT Intelligent Transportation Syste
 ms Laboratory – MITSIMLab and DynaMIT – will be presented along with s
 ample applications to real-world traffic management problems.\n\nLa confé
 rence sera suivie d'un apéritif !
