TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Collectively optimal routing for congested traffic limited by link capacity JO - Physical review E: Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics A1 - Danila, Bogdan A1 - Sun, Yudong A1 - Bassler, Kevin E. SP - 066116 EP - 066116 VL - 80 IS - 6 Pt 2 N2 - We show that the capacity of a complex network that models a city street grid to support congested traffic can be optimized by using routes that collectively minimize the maximum ratio of betweenness to capacity in any link. Networks with a heterogeneous distribution of link capacities and with a heterogeneous transport load are considered. We find that overall traffic congestion and average travel times can be significantly reduced by a judicious use of slower and smaller capacity links.
