Analytical formulations of congestion propagation
Mónica Menéndez, Ortigosa, Javier · Repository for Publications and Research Data (ETH Zurich) · 2016
In this paper we propose an idealized and simple analytical methodology to describe congestion propagation in a regular one-way grid network.By doing so, we are able to understand congestion propagation behavior in a very simple and intuitive manner.The ultimate goal is to compare different congestion propagation patterns depending on where congestion is originated and identify the most critical links on a network.The results of this paper can help measuring network resilience, implement traffic management strategies, and influence planning decisions.
