Investigation into congestionCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

Congestion LevelsSource: London First, March 2015Congestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

Congestion by Vehicle TypeSource: London First, March 2015Congestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

The Findings Congestion in London has risen noticeably between the years of 2012 and2015 with journey times in Central London increasing by 12% annually. Car traffic, including taxis and private hire vehicles (PHVs), is decreasing inCentral London and the Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ); thus, as acategory, cars are not causing an increase in congestion in these area Roadway travel demand, as seen in vehicle counts, is flat or decreasing inCentral London and increasing only slightly in Outer London; increaseduse of alternate modes of transit may explain why roadway trafficvolumes remain flat. Truck (LGV) traffic is increasing in Central London, possibly related to therise in ecommerce. This is the only vehicle type to show more roadwayvolume in all three zones of London. One of the most significant drivers of increased congestion in London isroadworks, increasing 362% during the study period.Congestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

The challenges Growing population in London Limited road space Growth of online deliveries Large amount of redevelopment &constructionCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

which cause problems Reduce productivity Low air quality Worsening environment Congested transport systemCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

What can we do? Solution is not just building more Instead, its about using what we have better:1. Changing behaviours2. Utilising under-used capacityCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

1. Changing Behaviour Data sharing and management of traffic Consolidation Charging & leviesCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

Consolidation Final mile deliveries for construction & retail Not enough consolidation centres because:– Developers must choose, but often contractorsfeel the benefit– Cost and space E.g. Heathrow Consolidation Centre & EustonStationCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

Charging & Levies Tolling Workplace parking levies Devolving vehicle excise duty Smarter congestion chargingCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

Utilising under-used capacity River transport Public transport Taxis and delivery vehicles Car share schemesCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

River Transport Over five million tonnes of freight weretransported on the Thames in 2013, up 62%on the year before (DfT/PLA) Helps keep over 265,000 lorry movements ayear off London's congested roads However, issues with waste transfer licenses Only large developers, like TfL are utilising theriver e.g. Northern line extension, CrossrailCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

Public Transport Rail at capacity. Makes schemes like Crossrail2 all the more essential Bus use falling due to high congestion Issues with suburban connectivity &accessibility of transport networkCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

Taxis and delivery vehicles Empty for significant periods of time Creating financial incentives for both to beutilised fully.– Taxis: Best information to pick up passengers– Delivery vehicles: Taking waste from sites afterdeliveriesCongestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

Car share schemes Car sharing is on the rise Boosting understandingof car share schemes However, issues withcar ownership insuburban centresSource: Carplus Annual Survey, April 2016Congestion InvestigationInstitution of Civil Engineers

The last component of Clove is an algorithm that reacts to both short-term congestion, e.g., result-ing from poor load-balancing, and long-term network asymmetry, e.g., resulting from failures or from asymmetrical workloads, by increasing the probability of picking uncongested paths for new flowlets.
