This paper studies the FIFO property, modelling accuracy and numerical solution of delay-function models, a class of link models widely used in the dynamic user-equilibrium (DUE) traffic assignment problem. It is found that the set of delay functions that can be used in the DUE problem is much...

Path flow estimator (PFE) is a one-stage network observer proposed to estimate path flows and hence origin-destination (O-D) flows from traffic counts in a transportation network. Although PFE does not require traffic counts to be collected on all network links when inferring unmeasured traffic...

The focus of this paper is to learn the daily activity engagement patterns of travelers using Support Vector Machines (SVMs), a modeling approach that is widely used in Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning. It is postulated that an individual’s choice of activities depends not only on...

The so-called activity-based approach to analysis of human interaction with the social and physical environments dates back to the original time-space geography works of Hägerstrand and his colleagues at the Lund School. Despite their obvious theoretical attractiveness, activity-based...

Although the effects of travel time and its reliability have been addressed in a variety of papers concerning pricing policies, most of the existing research is based on the assumption that travelers' preferences are static over a given time interval, such as the morning commuting period. Here,...
