Traffic problem
SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 3
Congestion is the daily pain of cities
■ The costs of traffic congestion are enormous.
■ The choices that drivers make affect roadway
congestion and air quality at the neighborhood, city, and
metropolitan levels.
■ Vehicle speed and pollution
– Very

  emissions
– Moderate

– Vehicles idling in traffic causesubstantially more air pollution than if they
were moving at optimal speeds.
■ Drivers of change: Exploding populations, urbanization,
globalization and technology are driving change.
■ This creates unique challenges and opportunities for
transportation providers.

What needs to be done to learn about
traffic of a place* ?
■ Create Origin-Destination (O-D) information for a region on a periodic (e.g., daily) basis.
■ Leverage simulation technology to define the overall view of traffic
■ Allow stakeholders to assess traffic impact of their decisions quickly (i.e., minutes).
Practical considerations
■ Maintaining data privacy
■ Controlling setup and operational cost
*simplistic picture, but sufficient for talk
SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 5
Examples: Who get benefited from
traffic data?
■ Cities
– Congestion reduction initiatives
– Design of policies to boost business growth
– Improving city services like police and fire brigade’s response to events
■ Private Companies
– Demand Prediction for services companies like Taxi
– Route prediction for ambulance of private hospitals
■ Citizens
– Visibility of traffic to plan their day better / efficient

data
Mobile Traffic
Probe ( eg. CDR )
An electro-mechanical device under road to measure presence of
vehicles based on weight. Mature technology for small types of
vehicles; Needs up-front cost to setup, point-by-point
deployment
Use analytics over video feeds of roads to measure presence of
vehicles. Mature technology applicable for most weather
conditions; Needs up-front cost to setup, point-by-point
deployment
Collect data from a sample of GPS-enabled vehicles; Limited by
sample size and expensive to cover large road networks
continuously.
Family of technologies that analyzes over cross-purposed telecom
data. Can be obtained leveraging CDR data and location update data
today. Provides large spatial and temporal coverage at sufficient
granularity.

Simulation as a service
SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 8
Traffic Simulation With Open Data
• Traffic simulation is a promising tool to do what-if analysis impacting
traffic demand, supply or every-day business decisions
• What is the congestion if everyone takes out their vehicles?
• What is the impact if failure rate of buses (public transportation) doubles?
• What happens if visitors constituting 20% of city traffic come for an event?
• However, simulators need to be setup with realistic road network,
traffic patterns and decision choices
• Open data is an important source for
• Road network (e.g., Open Street Maps)
• Creating pattern (e.g., vehicle Origin-Destination pairs, accidents)
• Framing and interpreting decision choices
SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA

Megaffic Simulation System View
Inputs
(1) Traffic demand (given or learnt)
– Origin and destination information
(2) Road network data contains
– legal speed
– traffic signal parameters (offset, cycle length, split)
– the latitude and longitude of cross points
– the number of lanes
– traffic regulation information (one-way traffic etc.)
(3) Driving behavior model
– Velocity determination model - calculated by using the legal
speed, the vehicular gap and the sign of traffic signals
– Route selection model
– Fixed routing (fixed route bus)
– Route selection (passenger car)
– Stochastic Utility Maximization
– Utility Maximization
Outputs
(1) Trip travel time
(2) Link travel time
(3) Amount of vehicle CO2 emission
(4) Traffic volume for each link.
SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 10
Why traffic simulation as a service?
Service orientation
a) allows sharing of Information Technology (IT) costs,
b) allows sharing of simulation and traffic skills,
c) gives confidence to government and businesses to share data, and
d) makes benchmarking of traffic improvement systematic.
SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 11
Preserved privacy in our approach by
■ Managing anonymity of source traffic pattern data, AND
– Used open data about traffic characteristic (New Delhi)
– Used anonymized CDR for finding traffic patterns (Mumbai)
■ Using Megaffic feature of generating new traffic Origin-Destination patterns given an
input traffic distribution

Last second of morning commute by different strategies
Discussion
■ Changing office timings is a promising use-case for both government and private
offices, and enabling the right strategy using a simulator as a service makes it
widely accessible.
■ There are anecdotal accounts of private organizations changing office timing for
traffic reasons. Companies in Gurgaon, India have preponed office timings by an
hour (to 8:30am-4:30pm) to beat traffic. But systematic analysis is missing [2].
■ Government office timings also vary from region to region[3] in an ad-hoc basis.
They all can benefit from simulation-based setting of timing for traffic convenience.

Area of Interest
Note:
Could have been any area
The view simulator sees
Number of vehicles that passed the roads in the last interval
(12-14: morning off-peak)
Note:
• Usefulness example: Helps
understand choke points if
doing a road work
• Color by reverse intuition
(red means more passage)
Average speed for the last interval within the entire area
(12-14: morning off-peak)
Note:
• Usefulness example: Helps
understand driving and
road level issues. E.g,
where to have speed
checks, where to change
road direction
Comparing day and night for
the same region
(Average speed for the last interval withinthe
entire area)
Notes:
• Speed sensitivity varies.
• Some roads are
unaffected.
(12-14: morning off-peak)
(22-8: evening off-peak)
(8-12: morning peak)
(14-22: evening peak)
Business Problems
that can be
tackled:
• Should I hold an event in
morning or evening?
• Should I hold it at venue A
or B if I must have it in
evenings?
• Should I hold it at venue A
or B if in mornings?
• Where should I have parking
(e.g. B) and walk facility if
holding event in evening at
A?

Discussion
■ We explored organizing events and how traffic data could be useful. We showed that
simulation is consistent with known traffic results but offers new and timely insights
at unprecedented scale
■ Here, we repurposed existing data with telecommunication companies, CDRs, and
showed how they can be used to extract trajectories and eventually, traffic volumes
preserving mobile user’s privacy.
■ Although promising, there are policy and business considerations that need to be
sorted out in many countries before such an approach will be considered
mainstream
SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 35
Conclusion
■ Traffic simulation as a service is a promising direction to understand and tackle traffic in
developing countries despite there being a lack of good traffic data
■ We demonstrated two use-cases (government office timing and event management) for
two large cities in India using open data and CDR data, respectively
■ Maintaining privacy needed attention to data and also simulator feature of generating
new data from given input traffic distribution
■ In future, one can
– Take benefits to more usecases
– Do simulation for more cities
– Improve accuracy with existing and new data data from more time periods and establish
a continuous process to augment learnt trajectories

Case Studies in Managing Traffic in a Developing Country with Privacy-Preserving Simulation as a Service

  • 1. CASE STUDIES IN MANAGING TRAFFIC IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY WITH PRIVACY-PRESERVING SIMULATION AS A SERVICE Biplav Srivastava, Madhavan Pallan,Mukundan Madhavan,Ravindranath Kokku IBM Research SCC 2016,San Francisco,June Acknowledgements: Seema Nagar for development; Takashi Imamichi, Hideyuki Mizuta, Sachiko Y. for help with Megaffic simulator, and Karthik Visweswariah for guidance.
  • 2. Outline ■ Traffic problem and role of simulation ■ Role of traffic simulation and considerations for running as a service ■ Case studies – Government office timing with Open Data at New Delhi – Event management with Telco’s Anonymized CDR data at Mumbai ■ Conclusion SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 2
  • 3. Traffic problem SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 3
  • 4. Congestion is the daily pain of cities ■ The costs of traffic congestion are enormous. ■ The choices that drivers make affect roadway congestion and air quality at the neighborhood, city, and metropolitan levels. ■ Vehicle speed and pollution – Very  low  and  very  high  traffic  speeds  have  higher    emissions – Moderate  speed  has  low  emissions – Vehicles idling in traffic causesubstantially more air pollution than if they were moving at optimal speeds. ■ Drivers of change: Exploding populations, urbanization, globalization and technology are driving change. ■ This creates unique challenges and opportunities for transportation providers. SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 4 Source: Traffic Congestion and Greenhouse Gases, by Matthew Barth and Kanok Boriboonsomsin. From: http://www.uctc.net/access/35/access35_Traffic_Congestion_and_Grenh ouse_Gases.shtml
  • 5. What needs to be done to learn about traffic of a place* ? ■ Create Origin-Destination (O-D) information for a region on a periodic (e.g., daily) basis. ■ Leverage simulation technology to define the overall view of traffic ■ Allow stakeholders to assess traffic impact of their decisions quickly (i.e., minutes). Practical considerations ■ Maintaining data privacy ■ Controlling setup and operational cost *simplistic picture, but sufficient for talk SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 5
  • 6. Examples: Who get benefited from traffic data? ■ Cities – Congestion reduction initiatives – Design of policies to boost business growth – Improving city services like police and fire brigade’s response to events ■ Private Companies – Demand Prediction for services companies like Taxi – Route prediction for ambulance of private hospitals ■ Citizens – Visibility of traffic to plan their day better / efficient SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 6
  • 7. 7 Inductive Loop Technology Video Image Processor Floating Car data Mobile Traffic Probe ( eg. CDR ) An electro-mechanical device under road to measure presence of vehicles based on weight. Mature technology for small types of vehicles; Needs up-front cost to setup, point-by-point deployment Use analytics over video feeds of roads to measure presence of vehicles. Mature technology applicable for most weather conditions; Needs up-front cost to setup, point-by-point deployment Collect data from a sample of GPS-enabled vehicles; Limited by sample size and expensive to cover large road networks continuously. Family of technologies that analyzes over cross-purposed telecom data. Can be obtained leveraging CDR data and location update data today. Provides large spatial and temporal coverage at sufficient granularity. Illustration of options available with stake- holders for transportation data SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA
  • 8. Simulation as a service SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 8
  • 9. Traffic Simulation With Open Data • Traffic simulation is a promising tool to do what-if analysis impacting traffic demand, supply or every-day business decisions • What is the congestion if everyone takes out their vehicles? • What is the impact if failure rate of buses (public transportation) doubles? • What happens if visitors constituting 20% of city traffic come for an event? • However, simulators need to be setup with realistic road network, traffic patterns and decision choices • Open data is an important source for • Road network (e.g., Open Street Maps) • Creating pattern (e.g., vehicle Origin-Destination pairs, accidents) • Framing and interpreting decision choices SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 9
  • 10. Megaffic Simulation System View Inputs (1) Traffic demand (given or learnt) – Origin and destination information (2) Road network data contains – legal speed – traffic signal parameters (offset, cycle length, split) – the latitude and longitude of cross points – the number of lanes – traffic regulation information (one-way traffic etc.) (3) Driving behavior model – Velocity determination model - calculated by using the legal speed, the vehicular gap and the sign of traffic signals – Route selection model – Fixed routing (fixed route bus) – Route selection (passenger car) – Stochastic Utility Maximization – Utility Maximization Outputs (1) Trip travel time (2) Link travel time (3) Amount of vehicle CO2 emission (4) Traffic volume for each link. SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 10
  • 11. Why traffic simulation as a service? Service orientation a) allows sharing of Information Technology (IT) costs, b) allows sharing of simulation and traffic skills, c) gives confidence to government and businesses to share data, and d) makes benchmarking of traffic improvement systematic. SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 11
  • 12. Preserved privacy in our approach by ■ Managing anonymity of source traffic pattern data, AND – Used open data about traffic characteristic (New Delhi) – Used anonymized CDR for finding traffic patterns (Mumbai) ■ Using Megaffic feature of generating new traffic Origin-Destination patterns given an input traffic distribution SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 12
  • 13. Government  office  timing  with  Open  Data  at   New  Delhi SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 13
  • 14. New  Delhi  Area  Selection SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 14 Area selected from openstreetmap.org with (top) (bottom) (left)(right) co-ordinates as(28.6022)(28.5707) (77.1990)(77.2522) for our experiment.
  • 15. Office Timing Change Decision Choices SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 15 Last second of morning commute by different strategies
  • 16. Discussion ■ Changing office timings is a promising use-case for both government and private offices, and enabling the right strategy using a simulator as a service makes it widely accessible. ■ There are anecdotal accounts of private organizations changing office timing for traffic reasons. Companies in Gurgaon, India have preponed office timings by an hour (to 8:30am-4:30pm) to beat traffic. But systematic analysis is missing [2]. ■ Government office timings also vary from region to region[3] in an ad-hoc basis. They all can benefit from simulation-based setting of timing for traffic convenience. SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 16

  • 35. Discussion ■ We explored organizing events and how traffic data could be useful. We showed that simulation is consistent with known traffic results but offers new and timely insights at unprecedented scale ■ Here, we repurposed existing data with telecommunication companies, CDRs, and showed how they can be used to extract trajectories and eventually, traffic volumes preserving mobile user’s privacy. ■ Although promising, there are policy and business considerations that need to be sorted out in many countries before such an approach will be considered mainstream SCC 2016, San Francisco, USA 35
  • 36. Conclusion ■ Traffic simulation as a service is a promising direction to understand and tackle traffic in developing countries despite there being a lack of good traffic data ■ We demonstrated two use-cases (government office timing and event management) for two large cities in India using open data and CDR data, respectively ■ Maintaining privacy needed attention to data and also simulator feature of generating new data from given input traffic distribution ■ In future, one can – Take benefits to more usecases – Do simulation for more cities – Improve accuracy with existing and new data data from more time periods and establish a continuous process to augment learnt trajectories 36
