The overall goal of this research effort is to develop a tool to assist the traffic managers in formulating strategies in real time, to effectively and efficiently divert traffic during congestion-causing events. The first approach, the user-optimal approach, reroutes motorists through the shortest alternate paths to their destinations. In the second approach, the system-optimal approach, an attempt is made to effect diversions to optimize the utility of system facility. This research is being applied to the Northern Virginia urban area as a case study, utilizing the traffic control center in Arlington, Virginia.
