Abstract

This paper addresses the optimization model of traffic sensor location considering drivers’ route choice behaviors. Based on the idea of bi-level programming, a mathematical model with an objective of maximizing total observed traffic flow, it is first formulated to maximize the benefit game between traffic managers and drivers. A hybrid GA-MSA algorithm is proposed to obtain the optimal or near-optimal solution of the above model, in which GA is utilized to solve the upper-level mixed integer nonlinear programming and MSA is adopted to get the link flow pattern in a stochastic user equilibrium state under different traffic sensor location schemes.
