Abstract The concept of demand spreading over time has been proven to eliminate traffic congestion for simple networks having one link and a single bottleneck. However, no method has been developed yet to implement this concept in real traffic networks. In this paper, the issues that arise when demand spreading over time is applied to real traffic networks are identified as the first step toward realizing its practical use. A method of solving the identified issues was examined, and its effect was evaluated using a traffic simulation. We found that the method is effective in reducing traffic jams and economic losses.
