A heuristic methodology to tackle the Braess Paradox detecting problem tailored for real road networks

SA Bagloee, A Ceder, M Tavana… - … A: Transport Science, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
Adding a new road to help traffic flow in a congested urban network may at first appear to be
a good idea. The Braess Paradox (BP) says, adding new capacity may actually worsen …

Is it time to go for no-car zone policies? Braess Paradox Detection

SA Bagloee, AA Ceder, M Sarvi, M Asadi - Transportation research part A …, 2019 - Elsevier
No-car zone is becoming a trend in many parts of the world, mainly driven by environmental
motives. Recent data has shown that both vehicle kilometers traveled and car ownership are …

Link restriction: Methods of testing and avoiding braess paradox in networks considering traffic demands

J Ma, D Li, L Cheng, X Lou, C Sun… - Journal of Transportation …, 2018 - ascelibrary.org
Braess paradox is a well-known paradox in transportation researches. In urban cities, there
are many different kinds of complex road networks. Unavoidably, some of them fall into the …

Detecting braess paradox based on stable dynamics in general congested transportation networks

K Park - Networks and Spatial Economics, 2011 - Springer
This study examined the detection of the Braess Paradox by stable dynamics in general
congested transportation networks. Stable dynamics, suggested by Nesterov and de Palma …

Braess' paradox in a generalised traffic network

V Zverovich, E Avineri - Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Braess' paradox illustrates situations when adding a new link to a transport network might
lead to an equilibrium state in which travel times of users will increase. The classical network …

Characterizing Braess's paradox for traffic networks

JN Hagstrom, RA Abrams - ITSC 2001. 2001 IEEE Intelligent …, 2001 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We generalize Braess's (1968) paradoxical example by defining a Braess paradox to occur
when the Wardrop equilibrium distribution of traffic flows is not strongly Pareto optimal. We …

The classical Braess paradox problem revisited: a generalized inverse method on non-unique path flow cases

MC Hwang, HJ Cho - Networks and Spatial Economics, 2016 - Springer
The classical Braess paradox problem refers to a user-equilibrium assignment model which
all started with Braess's (Unternehmensforschung 12; 258–268, 1968) demonstrated …

Braess' paradox: Some new insights

EI Pas, SL Principio - Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 1997 - Elsevier
This paper examines some properties of the well-known Braess' paradox of traffic flow, in the
context of the classical network configuration used by Braess. The paper shows that whether …

A capacity paradox in network design and how to avoid it

H Yang, MGH Bell - Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 1998 - Elsevier
The network design problem is often alluded to in the transportation literature together with
the spectacular example of Braess paradox, which tells us that creating a new link in a …

Braess paradox and robustness of traffic networks under stochastic user equilibrium

C Zhao, B Fu, T Wang - Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and …, 2014 - Elsevier
The Braess paradox is an important phenomenon in the traffic network, and the robustness
is a characteristic that measures the network system performance under interference. Study …
