Abstract

Urban traffic management faces growing challenges in evaluating and mitigating the impact of disruptive events, such as road closures, on vehicular traffic flow. This paper presents the design and development of an interactive tool to define and assess the impact of road deviation plans on vehicular traffic. The proposed tool targets traffic management experts and is expected to support them in defining and comparing alternative solutions to mitigate disruptive events (e.g. road/tunnel closures for maintenance). The proposed tool, called TrafficTwin, can be adapted to different areas of the town, make use of different traffic models (either synthetic or calibrated) and visualize several quantitative statistics to assess and compare alternative deviation plans. We evaluate the proposed tool using a synthetic traffic model and assess the pertinence of the simulation tool to support the decision-making process in transportation infrastructure management.
