A Global Sensitivity Analysis of Dynamic Loading and Route Selection Parameters on Network Performances by Charlotte Duruisseau, Ludovic Leclercq

“…Results notably reveal that the demand level is the most decisive parameter since low values simply lead to free-flow conditions with no influence of the other parameters, whereas higher values lead to a wide diversity of network states going from close to capacity but stable to gridlocked. While a nonnegligible amount of this disparity is explained by the demand pattern parameter, the number of paths per OD, their overlapping, and the equilibrium criterion of the paths flow distribution are still influential enough to maintain the network close to its optimal capacity or to prevent the network from fast collapse (gridlock). …”
