Abstract

An agent-based, multichannel simulation of a downtown area reveals the impacts of both time-shifting traffic demand with congestion pricing, and supplying extra capacity by banning left turns. The downtown street network was idealized, and loosely resembles central Los Angeles. On the demand-side, prices were set based on time-of-day and distance traveled. On the supply side, left-turn maneuvers were prohibited at all intersections on the network.
