Abstract

This paper focuses on the impact of an opened or enclosed residential community on a congested road network. The two-dimensional cellular automata-based model (CA) is used, combined with vehicle behavior such as left-turning and waiting. Also, the traffic controller is an employed model in the intersection. We divide the whole network into several basic modular structures, which could be combined to simulate typical residential communities. Based on these models, simulation of the real-world scenario is carried out. The results include the average traffic density of the network and the running time of probe cars. It is observed that, when we enclose the community during congested traffic, the density is diminished. This means a Braess paradox emerges. However, the average travel time of probe cars with a solid OD (origin and destination) pair will decrease for the reason that added roads give probe cars more choices.
