Different from traditional methods, this paper formulates the logit-based stochastic dynamic user optimal (SDUO) route choice problem as a fixed point (FP) problem in terms of intersection movement choice probabilities, which contain travelers’ route information so that the realistic effects...

In the research area of dynamic traffic assignment, link travel times can be derived from link cumulative inflow and outflow curves which are generated by dynamic network loading. In this paper, the profiles of cumulative flows are piecewise linearized. Both the step function (SF) and linear...

Passengers may make several transfers between different lines to reach their destinations in urban railway transit networks. Coordination of last trains in feeding lines and connecting lines at transfer stations is especially important because it is the last chance for many travellers to...

This paper presents an improved simulation method for solving the train scheduling problem to reduce the total travel time on the single-track railway. An algorithm based on the global information of the train is designed to obtain a more effective travel advance strategy of the train than the...

In this paper, a bilevel programming model for transit network design problem is presented, in which the upper model is a normal transit network design model, and the lower model is a transit equilibrium assignment model. A heuristic solution algorithm based on sensitivity analysis is designed...

The discrete network design problem deals with the selection of link additions to an existing road network, with given demand from each origin to each destination. The objective is to make an optimal investment decision in order to minimize the total travel cost in the network, while accounting...

This paper develops a cell-based formulation for the simultaneous route and departure time choice problem with elastic demands through a variational inequality problem (VIP). This formulation follows the ideal Dynamic User Optimal (DUO) route and departure time choice principle and encapsulates...

This paper develops a cell-based variational inequality formulation of the dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) problem to evaluate the impact of advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) services. It considers two classes of drivers: those with ATIS and those without. Both classes are modeled to...

The provision of traveler information services in the form of route planning and guidance (RPG) often involves three parties: service providers, users, and the traffic management agency. Each of these parties has distinctive objectives that are often in conflict with each other. This study...
