DYNAMIC CLUSTERING AND PROPAGATION OF CONGESTION IN LARGE TRAFFIC NETWORKS

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Mohammadreza Saeedmanesh

The problem of clustering in urban traffic networks has been mainly studied in static framework by only considering traffic conditions at a given time. Nevertheless, it is important to underline here that traffic is a strongly time-variant process and it n ...
