Indifference Bands for Route Switching

Di, Xuan; Liu, Henry X.; Zhu, Shanjiang; Levinson, David - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2014

The replacement I-35W bridge in Minneapolis saw less traffic than the original bridge though it provided substantial travel time saving for many travelers. This observation cannot be explained by the classical route choice assumption that travelers always take the shortest path. Accordingly, a...

Alternative High Occupancy/Toll Lane Pricing Strategies and their Effect on Market Share

Janson, Michael; Levinson, David - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2014

High Occupancy/Toll (HOT) Lanes typically charge a varying to single occupant vehicles (SOVs), with the toll increasing during more congested periods. The toll is usually tied to time of day or to the density of vehicles in the HOT lane. The purpose of raising the toll with congestion is to...

The Weakest Link: A Model of the Decline of Surface Transportation Networks

Xie, Feng; Levinson, David - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2007

This study explores the economic mechanisms behind the decline of a surface transportation network, based on the assumption that the decline phase is a spontaneous process driven by decentralized decisions of individual travelers and privatized links. A simulation model is developed with a...

Measuring the Structure of Road Networks

Xie, Feng; Levinson, David - Networks, Economics and Urban Systems Research Group … - 2005

Spatial networks display both topologic and geometric variations in their structure. This study investigates the …. Proposed measures were applied to 16 test networks, which were derived from 4 idealized base networks: 90-degree, 45-degree, 30 …-degree, and completely connected. The results show that the differentiated structures of road networks can be evaluated by …
