Analysis of Travel Cost Components using Large-Scale Dynamic Traffic Models.

This paper extends research in dynamic traffic modeling using METROPOLIS, a dynamic simulation tool. We briefly present an overview of the original departure time choice model introduces by W. Vickrey (1969) for a single O-D pair. Using this framework for our analysis, we explore how the aggregation of the commuters travel cost for large-scale dynamic networks extends the results obtained by Vickrey for the basic-single O-D pair model. The paper provides a test-site application for the network of the city of Geneva and a policy example (extension of staggered hours).
