Dynamic Traffic Assignment

Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) is a process used to predict how traffic flows on roads over time, considering changing conditions throughout the day. Unlike static models that assume traffic patterns remain constant, DTA adapts to real-time or forecasted variations, such as accidents or rush hours, to optimize route choices and improve traffic management. It helps transportation planners and authorities understand and mitigate congestion, making travel more efficient by dynamically distributing vehicles across the network based on current or expected traffic situations.
