    • Generalized Descent Methods for Asymmetric Systems of Equations and Variational Inequalities 

      Hammond, Janice H.; Magnanti, Thomas L. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1985-08)
      We consider generalizations of the steepest descent algorithm for solving asymmetric systems of equations. We first show that if the system is linear and is defined by a matrix M, then the method converges if M2 is positive ...

    • The Generalized Combination Method for Area Traffic Control 

      Gartner, Nathan H.; Little, John D. C. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1973-08)
      A procedure is described for determining optimal signal settings in a network including cycle time, splits of green time and ffsets. A number of cycle times are scanned in the process. For each cycle, splits are determined ...

    • Acceleration Noise as a Measure of Effectiveness in the Operation of Traffic Control System 

      Chung, Cady C.; Gartner, Nathan H. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1973-03)
      Acceleration Noise measures the disutility associated with successive decelerations and accelerations in a signalized environment. It provides an indication of the smoothness of traffic flow. As such it constitutes a ...
