ANALYSIS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ACHIEVING SYSTEM-OPTIMAL TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT WITH THE EMERGENCE OF CONNECTED AND HIGHLY AUTOMATED VEHICLES

The article considers the prospects and obstacles on the way of improving the efficiency of urban street and road networks operations, opened with the development of automated driving technologies and cooperative intelligent transportation systems (connected cars, V2X systems). The results of the analysis of the causes of delays on the road networks, the possibilities of their elimination by direct distribution of traffic flows are given, and a systemic view on the solution of the system-optimal traffic assignment problem in real networks is offered.
