Previous analysis of bottleneck congestion and departure time choice have focused on the trade-off between queuing delay cost and early/late arrival penalty for a given work start schedule. The actual scheduling of travel and work activities may well depend on some other important factors, such...

In this paper, we consider a unified framework of multiclass multicriteria mixed equilibrium, and the existence of uniform link tolls supporting such a mixed equilibrium as a system optimum. The network users are divided into different classes, and each class of traveler perceives his/her...

The objective of this paper is to enhance the insights into commuters' travel choice behaviors in a competitive railway/highway system with continuum park-and-ride services along a travel corridor. It is assumed that parking charges gradually decrease from the city center to the corridor...

For decades, the dynamic traffic patterns of morning and evening commutes have been investigated separately, and it is often assumed that they are simple mirror symmetries. In this paper, we use a two-stage differential method to establish a daily traffic pattern that links the morning and...

The inland waterway transportation has attracted a lot of attention worldwide in the last fifteen years. This paper studies the location, service charge and capacity decision of an inland river port to maximize its revenue or profit. The cargo shippers are assumed to be uniformly distributed...

This paper investigates the cordon-based second-best congestion-pricing problems on road networks, including optimal selection of both toll levels and toll locations. A road network is viewed as a directed graph and the cutset concept in graph theory is used to describe the mathematical...

The classical Wardropian principle assumes that users minimize either individual travel cost or overall system cost. Unlike the pure Wardropian equilibrium, there might be in reality both competition and cooperation among users, typically when there exist oligopoly Cournot-Nash (CN) firms. In...

Morning commuters choose their departure times based on a combination of factors—the chances of running into bottleneck congestion, the likely schedule delays, and parking space availability. This study investigates the morning commute problem with both bottleneck congestion and parking space...

Previous studies on private highways generally involve network equilibrium models with link-specific and hence link-additive toll charges. In reality, toll charges for private highways depend on the entry and exit points, which are not always link-additive. This study formulates and solves the...
