Driver's Departure Behavior Model Considering Variable Trip Time

1 Title : Demand Profiling for Dynamic Traffic Assignment by Integrating Departure Time Choice and Trip

This article proposes a bi-criteria formulation to find the optimal location of light rapid transit stations in a network where demand is elastic and budget is constrained. Our model is composed of two competing objective functions seeking to maximize the total ridership and minimize the total budget allocated. In this research, demand is formulated using the random utility maximization method ...

Agent-based negotiation model for long-term carpooling: a flexible mechanism for trip departure times

In order to commute by carpooling, individuals need to communicate, negotiate and coordinate, and in most cases adapt their daily schedule to enable cooperation. Through negotiation, individuals (agents) can reach complex agreements in an iterative way. The success of negotiation highly depends on the lifestyle factors that influence the departure time decision of the individuals. This paper pr...

The acceptability and drivers’ willingness to pay and departure time choice model for HOT lanes on I-495 in Maryland

Drivers’ Reading Time Model on Variable Message Signs Using Korean Characters

Variable message sign (VMS) which is used for providing real-time information on traffic conditions and accident occurrences is an important component of intelligent transport systems (ITS). Proper consideration of drivers’ message reading time is necessary for designing VMS message phase and duration. The drivers’ message reading time depends on various factors, such as the number of informati...

A Direct Demand Model of Departure Time and Mode for Intercity Passenger Trips

Travel demand is well announced as a crucial component of transportation planning. This paper aims to develop a direct demand model, denoting a more acceptable abstraction of reality, for intercity passengers in daily work and leisure trips in Tehran province. The model utilizes combined estimation across the data source, collected in 2011, of travelers originating from ...
