Strongly Connected Orientations of Graphs: Making Optimal One-way Street Networks
Abstract:
Suppose that we wish to make a system of streets more efficient by making the streets one-way.  How should the one-way streets be assigned so as to make the traffic flow most efficient?  This is a surprisingly difficult problem, and is the problem considered in this thesis.  We consider algorithms for assigning one-way streets, and we look at different ways of measuring efficiency.  We then consider the special cases of rectangular grid graphs and wheel graphs.
