Modeling Network Capacity for Urban Multimodal Transportation Applications

Since the diversity of urban transport modes and growth public demands recently, it is essential to consider multiple mode options in network capacity problem. This paper derives a comprehensive model from single-mode transportation with only route choice multimodal both choice. To avoid biases evaluation capacity, two characteristics system are considered modeling formulating problem: (1) interaction between cars buses explicitly reflected when they share same link; (2) correlation travel alternatives (modes or routes) measured by developing combined modal split traffic assignment (CMSTA) problem, which nested logit (NL) employed account for similarity split, while path-size (PSL) overlapping assignment. Numerical experiments demonstrate new model. It also shows how planning schemes management strategies affect via real case.
