For studying carpooling problems, this paper presents two models, namely deterministic and stochastic, and gives the economic explanations to the model solutions. We investigate the jockeying behavior of work commuters between carpooling and driving alone modes through solving each model for...

High-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes and toll differentiation have been used as efficient measures to address growing traffic congestion problems by providing priority treatment for buses and carpools. This paper deals with carpooling behavior and optimal congestion pricing in a multilane highway...

It is well known that in the standard traffic network equilibrium model with a single value of time (VOT) for all users, a so-called marginal-cost toll can drive a user equilibrium flow pattern to a system optimum. This result holds when either cost (money) or time units are used in expressing...

With the proliferation of smartphone-based ridesharing apps around the world, traffic assignment with ridesharing is drawing increasing attentions in recent years. A number of ridesharing user equilibrium (RUE) models have been proposed, but most of them are formulated as mixed complementary...

China’s financial input mechanism reform’s current development trend involves fully implementing budget performance management and constructing a performance-oriented financial allocation model. These are also essential measures in promoting the modernization of the national governance...
