In urban transportation network, unreasonable phenomenon can occur in certain traffic period （e.g. on/off duty period）, which demonstrates that the flows of opposite directions on a two-way road are seriously asymmetric; one traffic link of a two-way road congest heavily but the other is hardly used. In order to reduce transportation congestion and make full use of the existing road resources, we propose a lane reallocating approach in peak period, and establish a discrete hi-level programming model for the decision-making. Then, based on particle swarm optimization （PSO） technique, a heuristic solution algorithm for the hi-level model is designed. Finally, the lane reallocating approach is demonstrated through a simple transportation network.展开更多
