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...

This paper proposes a time-dependent network equilibrium model that simultaneously considers a traveler's choice of departure time, route, parking location and parking duration in road networks with multiple user classes and multiple parking facilities. In the proposed model, travelers are...

A freeway or expressway corridor where all vehicles travel to the same destination such as the city centre is considered in this article, similar to the morning commute problem. A continuous time optimal control model that deals with the dynamic user optimal assignment for multiple origins and...

A combined trip distribution and assignment model for multiple user classes has been formulated by Lam and Huang (1992). We discuss here its calibration and show how to choose a suitable set of model parameters by using supplementary information. We show that each of the quantities--the mean...

An extended mobile lattice gas model with consideration of the pedestrian’s variable walking step size is proposed in this paper. The model first scans various possible step sizes and then determines the movement directions in terms of probabilities which consider the step size factor....

Considering user heterogeneity in terms of a continuously distributed value of time, we investigate, on the base of so-called Wardrop’s third principle, the time-versus-cost network equilibrium and system optimum problem with fixed demand. To realize a target flow pattern through imposing...
