Query: A Gaussian segment-based traffic flow model for the design and control
  of transport networks   In the setting of a recently developed cellular stochastic traffic flow
model, it has shown that the joint per-cell vehicle densities, as a function of
time, can be accurately approximated by a Gaussian process, which has the
attractive feature that its means and (spatial and temporal) covariances can be
efficiently evaluated. The present article demonstrates the rich potential of
this methodology in the context of road traffic control and transportation
network design. To solidly provide empirical backing for the use of a
multivariate Gaussian approximation, we rely on a detailed historical dataset
that contains traffic flow data. Then, in the remainder of the paper, we
provide a sequence of design and control related example questions that can be
analyzed using the Gaussian methodology. These cover the following topics: (i)
evaluation of stationary performance measures, (ii) route selection, (iii)
control of traffic flows, and (iv) performance of traffic networks with
arbitrary topology. In discussing the setup, results, and applications of these
examples, we stress the appropriateness of our {stochastic} traffic model over
a deterministic counterpart.
