Numerous models of travel timing have been calibrated in the literature. Some treat time as a discrete variable using familiar discrete choice methods, while others have treated time in a continuous fashion. Both approaches offer distinct advantages. Here, a continuous logit model of work tour departure time choice is estimated, which offers the advantage of continuous-time response using a ran...

The arc costs are assumed to be online parameters of the network and decisions should be made while the costs of arcs are not known. The policies determine the permitted nodes and arcs to traverse and they are generally defined according to the departure nodes of the current policy nodes. In on-line created tours arc costs are not available for decision makers. The on-line traversed nodes are f...

Existing microscopic traffic models have often neglected departure time change as a possible response to congestion. In addition, they lack a formal model of how travellers base their daily travel decisions on the accumulated experience gathered from repetitively travelling through the transport network. This paper proposes an approach to account for these shortcomings. A micro-simulation appro...

A Monitor Alert is triggered whenever the number of aircraft in an Air Traffic Control sector increases beyond its capacity limit. Departure rates at the airports feeding the airspace can be decreased to reduce the sector density. This paper presents a genetic algorithm for determining the optimal departure delays to be imposed on aircraft to maintain the sector counts below the Monitor Alert l...
