This research discusses the formulation and solution algorithm of the reactive dynamic traffic assignment with the link travel time explicitly taking into account the effects of queues under the point queue concept. In the reactive assignment, vehicles are assumed to choose their routes based on...

The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and efficient method for estimating origin-destination tables from roadside survey data. Roadside surveys, whether conducted by interviews or postcard mailback methods, typically have in common the sampling of trip origin and destination...

This research extends the dynamic user optimal assignment under the point queue concept so as to deal with physical queues. Given time-dependent many-to-many OD volumes, this paper first shows the formulation of the assignment subject to the flow conservation and the first-in-first-out (FIFO)...

In decisions involving many alternatives, such as residential choice, individuals conduct a two-stage decision process, consisting of eliminating non-viable alternatives and choice from the retained choice set. In light of the potential of semi-compensatory discrete choice models to...

This paper focuses on path-based solution algorithms to the stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) and investigates their convergence properties. Two general optimization methods are adapted to solve the logit SUE problem. First, a method that closely follows the Gradient Projection (GP) algorithm...

Traffic assignment models can be classified according to the behavioral assumption governing route choice. The deterministic user equilibrium (UE), stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) and system optimum (SO) models have been studied extensively in the literature. The relationship between the UE...

This paper investigates the destination choice problem in transportation planning processes. Most models assume a Multinomial Logit (MNL) form for the problem. The MNL cannot account for unobserved similarities which exist among choice alternatives. The purpose of this paper is to investigate...

The search for the shortest path constitutes the common practice in actual traffic studies, as this simplistic route choice model enables the universal implementation of traffic assignment and simulation procedures to every network configuration. The literature illustrates the large efforts in...
