Abstract EN
For the purpose of alleviating traffic congestion, this paper proposes a scheme to encourage travelers to carpool by traffic restriction.
By a variational inequity we describe travelers’ mode (solo driving and carpooling) and route choice under user equilibrium principle in the context of fixed demand and detect the performance of a simple network with various restriction links, restriction proportions, and carpooling costs.
Then the optimal traffic restriction scheme aiming at minimal total travel cost is designed through a bilevel program and applied to a Sioux Fall network example with genetic algorithm.
According to various requirements, optimal restriction regions and proportions for restricted automobiles are captured.
From the results it is found that traffic restriction scheme is possible to enhance carpooling and alleviate congestion.
However, higher carpooling demand is not always helpful to the whole network.
The topology of network, OD demand, and carpooling cost are included in the factors influencing the performance of the traffic system.
