Details

The most well-known assumptions in traffic assignment models are the ones following Wardrop's first principle. Traffic assignment models are used to estimate the traffic flows on a network. These models take as input a matrix of flows that indicate the volume of traffic between origin and destination (O-D) pairs. Unlike All-or-Nothing assignment (see get_aon), edge congestion is modeled through the Volume Decay Function (VDF). The Volume Decay Function used is the most popular in literature, from the Bureau of Public Roads :

t = t0 * (1 + a * (V/C)^b) with t = actual travel time (minutes), t0 = free-flow travel time (minutes), a = alpha parameter (unitless), b = beta parameter (unitless), V = volume or flow (veh/hour) C = edge capacity (veh/hour)

Traffic Assignment Problem is a convex problem and solving algorithms can be divided into two categories :

  • link-based : Method of Successive Average (msa) and Frank-Wolfe variants (normal : fw, conjugate : cfw and bi-conjugate : bfw). These algorithms uses the descent direction given by AON assignment at each iteration, all links are updated at the same time.

  • bush-based : Algorithm-B (dial) The problem is decomposed into sub-problems, corresponding to each origin of the OD matrix, that operate on acyclic sub-networks of the original transportation network, called bushes. Link flows are shifted from the longest path to the shortest path recursively within each bush using Newton method.

Link-based algorithms are historically the first algorithms developed for solving the traffic assignment problem. It require low memory and are known to tail in the vicinity of the optimum and usually cannot be used to achieve highly precise solutions. Algorithm B is more recent, and is better suited for achieve the highest precise solution. However, it require more memory and can be time-consuming according the network size and OD matrix size. In cppRouting, the implementation of algorithm-B allow "batching", i.e. bushes are temporarily stored on disk if memory limit, defined by the user, is exceeded. Please see the package website for practical example and deeper explanations about algorithms. (https://github.com/vlarmet/cppRouting/blob/master/README.md)

Convergence criterion can be set by the user using max_gap argument, it is the relative gap which can be written as : abs(TSTT/SPTT - 1) with TSTT (Total System Travel Time) = sum(flow * cost), SPTT (Shortest Path Travel Time) = sum(aon * cost)

Especially for link-based algorithms (msa, *fw), the larger part of computation time rely on AON assignment. So, choosing the right AON algorithm is crucial for fast execution time. Contracting the network on-the-fly before AON computing can be faster for large network and/or large OD matrix.

AON algorithms are :

  • bi : bidirectional Dijkstra algorithm

  • nba : bidirectional A* algorithm, nodes coordinates and constant parameter are needed

  • d : Dijkstra algorithm

  • cbi : contraction hierarchies + bidirectional search

  • cphast : contraction hierarchies + phast algorithm

These AON algorithm can be decomposed into two families, depending the sparsity of origin-destination matrix :

  • recursive pairwise : bi, nba and cbi. Optimal for high sparsity. One-to-one algorithm is called N times, with N being the length of from.

  • recursive one-to-many : d and cphast. Optimal for dense matrix. One-to-many algorithm is called N times, with N being the number of unique from (or to) nodes

For large instance, it may be appropriate to test different aon_method for few iterations and choose the fastest one for the final estimation.

Hyperparameters for algorithm-b are :

  • inneriter : number of time bushes are equilibrated within each iteration. Default to 20

  • max_tol : numerical tolerance. Flow is set to 0 if less than max_tol. Since flow shifting consist of iteratively adding or substracting double types, numerical error can occur and stop convergence. Default to 1e-11.

  • tmp_path : Path for storing bushes during algorithm-B execution. Default using tempdir()

  • max_mem : Maximum amount of RAM used by algorithm-B in gigabytes. Default to 8.

In New Bidirectional A star algorithm, euclidean distance is used as heuristic function. To understand the importance of constant parameter, see the package description : https://github.com/vlarmet/cppRouting/blob/master/README.md All algorithms are partly multithreaded (AON assignment).

Value

A list containing :

  • The relative gap achieved

  • Number of iteration

  • A data.frame containing edges attributes, including equilibrated flows, new costs and free-flow travel times.

Note

from, to and demand must be the same length. alpha, beta and capacity must be filled in during network construction. See makegraph.

Contraction hierarchies algorithm

Description

Contract a graph by using contraction hierarchies algorithm

Usage

cpp_contract(Graph, silent = FALSE)

Arguments

Graph

An object generated by makegraph or cpp_simplify function.

silent

Logical. If TRUE, progress is not displayed.

Details

Contraction hierarchies is a speed-up technique for finding shortest path in a graph. It consist of two steps : preprocessing phase and query. cpp_contract() preprocess the input graph to later use special query algorithm implemented in get_distance_pair, get_distance_matrix, get_aon and get_path_pair functions. To see the benefits of using contraction hierarchies, see the package description : https://github.com/vlarmet/cppRouting/blob/master/README.md.

Value

A contracted graph.

#Data describing edges of the graph
edges<-data.frame(from_vertex=c(0,0,1,1,2,2,3,4,4),
                  to_vertex=c(1,3,2,4,4,5,1,3,5),
                  cost=c(9,2,11,3,5,12,4,1,6))

#Contract graph
contracted_graph<-cpp_contract(graph,silent=TRUE)

Reduce the number of edges by removing non-intersection nodes, duplicated edges and isolated loops in the graph.

Description

Reduce the number of edges by removing non-intersection nodes, duplicated edges and isolated loops in the graph.

Usage

cpp_simplify(
  Graph,
  keep = NULL,
  rm_loop = TRUE,
  iterate = FALSE,
  silent = TRUE
)

Arguments

Graph

An object generated by makegraph function.

keep

Character or integer vector. Nodes of interest that will not be removed. Default to NULL

rm_loop

Logical. if TRUE, isolated loops as removed. Default to TRUE

iterate

Logical. If TRUE, process is repeated until only intersection nodes remain in the graph. Default to FALSE

silent

Logical. If TRUE and iterate set to TRUE, number of iteration and number of removed nodes are printed to the console.

Given an origin-destination matrix, compute All-or-Nothing assignment.

Description

Given an origin-destination matrix, compute All-or-Nothing assignment.

Usage

get_aon(Graph, from, to, demand, algorithm = "bi", constant = 1)

Arguments

Graph

An object generated by makegraph, or cpp_contract function.

from

A vector of origins

to

A vector of destinations.

demand

A vector describing the flow between each origin-destination pair.

algorithm

character. For contracted network : phast or bi. Otherwise : d, bi or nba. Default to bi. See details.

constant

numeric. Constant to maintain the heuristic function admissible in NBA* algorithm. Default to 1, when cost is expressed in the same unit than coordinates. See details

Details

All-or-Nothing assignment (AON) is the simplest method to load flow on a network, since it assume there is no congestion effects. The assignment algorithm itself is the procedure that loads the origin-destination matrix to the shortest path trees and produces the flows. Origin-destination matrix is represented via 3 vectors : from, to and demand.

There is two variants of algorithms, depending the sparsity of origin-destination matrix :

  • recursive one-to-one : Bidirectional search (bi) and Bidirectional A* (nba). Optimal for high sparsity.

  • recursive one-to-many : Dijkstra (d) and PHAST (phast). Optimal for dense matrix.

For large network and/or large OD matrix, this function is a lot faster on a contracted network. In New Bidirectional A star algorithm, euclidean distance is used as heuristic function. To understand the importance of constant parameter, see the package description : https://github.com/vlarmet/cppRouting/blob/master/README.md

All algorithms are multithreaded. Please use RcppParallel::setThreadOptions() to set the number of threads.

Value

A data.frame containing edges attributes, including flow.

Note

'from', 'to' and 'demand' must be the same length.

Compute shortest path between origin and destination nodes.

Description

Compute shortest path between origin and destination nodes.

Usage

get_path_pair(
  Graph,
  from,
  to,
  algorithm = "bi",
  constant = 1,
  keep = NULL,
  long = FALSE
)

Arguments

Graph

An object generated by makegraph, cpp_simplify or cpp_contract function.

from

A vector of one or more vertices from which shortest paths are calculated (origin).

to

A vector of one or more vertices (destination).

algorithm

character. Dijkstra for uni-directional Dijkstra, bi for bi-directional Dijkstra, A* for A star unidirectional search or NBA for New bi-directional A star .Default to bi

constant

numeric. Constant to maintain the heuristic function admissible in A* and NBA algorithms.

keep

numeric or character. Vertices of interest that will be returned.

long

logical. If TRUE, a long data.frame is returned instead of a list. Default to 1, when cost is expressed in the same unit than coordinates. See details

Details

If graph is not contracted, the user has the choice between :

  • unidirectional Dijkstra (Dijkstra)

  • A star (A*) : projected coordinates should be provided

  • bidirectional Dijkstra (bi)

  • New bi-directional A star (NBA) : projected coordinates should be provided

If the input graph has been contracted by cpp_contract function, the algorithm is a modified bidirectional search.

In A* and NBA algorithms, euclidean distance is used as heuristic function.

All algorithms are multithreaded. Please use RcppParallel::setThreadOptions() to set the number of threads.

To understand the importance of constant parameter, see the package description : https://github.com/vlarmet/cppRouting/blob/master/README.md

Value

list or a data.frame containing shortest path nodes between from and to.

Note

from and from must be the same length.

Construct graph

Description

Construct graph

Usage

makegraph(
  df,
  directed = TRUE,
  coords = NULL,
  aux = NULL,
  capacity = NULL,
  alpha = NULL,
  beta = NULL
)

Arguments

df

A data.frame or matrix containing 3 columns: from, to, cost. See details.

directed

logical. If FALSE, then all edges are duplicated by inverting 'from' and 'to' nodes.

coords

Optional. A data.frame or matrix containing all nodes coordinates. Columns order should be 'node_ID', 'X', 'Y'.

aux

Optional. A vector or a single value describing an additional edge weight.

capacity

Optional. A vector or a single value describing edge capacity. Used for traffic assignment.

alpha

Optional. A vector or a single value describing alpha parameter. Used for traffic assignment.

beta

Optional. A vector or a single value describing beta parameter. Used for traffic assignment.

Details

'from' and 'to' are character or numeric vector containing nodes IDs. 'cost' is a non-negative numeric vector describing the cost (e.g time, distance) between each 'from' and 'to' nodes. coords should not be angles (e.g latitude and longitude), but expressed in a projection system. aux is an additional weight describing each edge. Shortest paths are always computed using 'cost' but aux can be summed over shortest paths. capacity, alpha and beta are parameters used in the Volume Delay Function (VDF) to equilibrate traffic in the network. See assign_traffic. capacity, alpha, beta and aux must have a length equal to nrow(df). If a single value is provided, this value is replicated for each edge. alpha must be different from 0 and alpha must be greater or equal to 1. For more details and examples about traffic assignment, please see the package website : https://github.com/vlarmet/cppRouting/blob/master/README.md

Value

Named list with two useful attributes for the user :

nbnode : total number of vertices
dict$ref : vertices IDs

Examples

#Data describing edges of the graph
edges<-data.frame(from_vertex=c(0,0,1,1,2,2,3,4,4),
