Dynamic Combined-Mode Traffic Network Model considering Transfer Behaviors

الملخص EN

We propose a dynamic combined-mode traffic network model considering transfer behaviors.

We assume that travelers can be classified into two classes: one class is pure-mode travelers who complete a trip by single transportation mode, and another is combined-mode travelers who cover a journey by car, bus, and so forth.

The multimode point queue model is used to model the interaction of cars and buses on the network.

We present an integrated variational inequality formulation to capture the complex traveler choice behaviors such as departure time choices, transfer point, and route choices.

Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed heuristic algorithm and model.
