On One Approach to Statistical Modeling of Traffic Flow on the Moscow Ring Road and Entrance Control

This paper is devoted to the mathematical modeling of traffic flow in a large automobile network. A statistical model of traffic flow proposed by the authors and designed for full-scale modeling of the operation of large-scale transport systems on long time intervals is used. A model has been constructed for one of the sides of the Moscow Ring Road and experiments have been carried out for two ways of jamming on the highway. The functionality of the naive entry control model has been tested in both types of the experiments. It has been shown that even the simplest method of limiting the incoming flow is efficient in terms of highway travel time losses.
