Title:
METHOD AND MEANS FOR TRAFFIC ROUTE CONTROL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000011629
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method and means for control of traffic on a network by route control. The method and the means are based on functions in a traffic management system. The invention includes control of traffic from a first route, which passes a bottleneck, which can be a part of the network, e.g. a node or a link, with low capacity relative to the demand of traffic through the node or the link, - to at least another alternative route. That alternative route is separated from the first route at a node upstream of the bottleneck and is routing at least parts of the traffic another road passing the bottleneck of the first route. The method is built on several cooperating method steps and route control can be applied on several different hierarchical levels in the network, locally or more comprehensive. Essential method steps are estimating and controlling traffic margins on selected links and nodes in the network and utilizing those margins at the route control. The invention concerns traffic control of vehicles on a road network as a first hand application. But the method can also be used for other applications, as traffic control of data packets on a communication network. This application is also treated.
