Abstract: Abstract We introduce an adaptive routing strategy (ARS) for transportation networks. In this strategy, the route choice is made adaptively based on the real-time information of the whole system. An efficient optimization-based heuristic is proposed to support such real-time decision-making process. Numerical results show that our ARS outperforms both the static routing method and the original dynamic routing method.
