Multilane widely exists in the urban traffic system and its traffic flow is more complex than the single-lane traffic flow since it may be affected by each lane’s width, the number of lanes and lane-changing. In this paper, we first use empirical data to study the impacts of lane width and the...

This paper investigates the modal split and trip scheduling decisions with consideration of the commuters’ uncertainty expectation in the morning commute problem. Two physically separated modes for transportation, the auto mode on highway and the transit mode on subway, are available for...

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...

A general dynamical system model with link-based variables is formulated to characterize the processes of achieving equilibria from a non-equilibrium state in traffic networks. Several desirable properties of the dynamical system model are established, including the equivalence between its...

An extended mobile lattice gas model with consideration of the pedestrian’s variable walking step size is proposed in this paper. The model first scans various possible step sizes and then determines the movement directions in terms of probabilities which consider the step size factor....

Considering body congestion in carriage and vehicle congestion in bottleneck queues in a competitive highway/transit system, we investigate the departure patterns of commuters through analysing the equilibria under three road-use pricing strategies. Each strategy is the combination of a...

Considering user heterogeneity in terms of a continuously distributed value of time, we investigate, on the base of so-called Wardrop’s third principle, the time-versus-cost network equilibrium and system optimum problem with fixed demand. To realize a target flow pattern through imposing...

We develop a microscopic pedestrian-simulation model in which pedestrian positions are updated at discrete time steps. At each time step, each pedestrian probabilistically selects a direction of movement from a predetermined set according to a logit-type function that considers the dynamics of...

This paper presents a cumulative perceived value-based dynamic user equilibrium model by applying the prospect theory to formulate the travelers’ risk evaluation on arrival time. The network uncertainty caused by link exit capacity degradation is incorporated into the analysis. The model which...
