A perimeter control-route guidance framework of urban networks with priorities
Published in Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2026
This paper develops a novel perimeter control-regional toll (PCRT) framework to minimize passenger total travel time spent (PTTS) within urban networks while strategically prioritizing efficient transport modes. A key aspect of this framework is the incorporation of network separation, allowing for dedicated lanes for PVs in certain regions and mixed traffic operations in others. Moreover, the PCRT framework enhances the mobility of PVs by performing a proper network separation, which takes center stage in the traffic management of multi-region MFD-based urban networks with priorities. Furthermore, the devised event-triggered regional toll strategy incentivizes non-PVs to utilize the PV infrastructure strategically, providing a mechanism for demand management and improved driving experiences.
