Abstract:

In order to analyze the influence of travel time correlation and resource constraints on the selection of the most reliable path in traffic network, the model of the constrained most reliable path with stochastic traffic network considering travel time correlation is established, and the solution method of improved alternating direction method of multipliers is proposed. By Cholesky decomposition and quadratic term deflation, the objective function is transformed into a matrix form of separable structure, and the augmented Lagrangian relaxation problem is decomposed into a series of subproblems by the block coordinate descent method, the upper and lower bounds are iterated to obtain the approximate optimal solution. Numerical simulation experiments are carried out for Sioux Falls network and Chicago sketch network, and the performance of improved alternating direction method of multipliers and Lagrangian relaxation algorithm is compared and analyzed. The results show that the most reliable path problem with or without link travel time correlation is different, the travel time correlation and resource constraints have a significant impact on the selection of the most reliable path, the computational efficiency and convergence of the improved alternating direction method of multipliers are superior to the Lagrangian relaxation algorithm.

Key words: engineering of communication and transportation system, stochastic network, constrained most reliable path, travel time correlation, alternating direction method of multipliers
