چکیده
Based on previous studies of a highway reservation system, this paper proposed an auction-based implementation, in which the users can bid for the right to use a route during a certain period of time. This paper models the auction system with MATSim using an agent-based simulation technique. The agents adopt their own bidding logic in the auction, and the price converges after around 130 iterations, when the number of users using the reserved highway and the total collected revenue become stable. When the overall demand changes, the collected revenue ranges from 5 to 11 dollars per user, and from 0.7 to 1.5 dollars per mile. The auction system can transfer more consumer surplus to the toll road operators, since it is a personalized tolling mechanism. The users are using the reservation system as insurance of a guaranteed congestion-free travel. The auction-based highway reservation shows great potential as a new traffic management system. 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An Optimal Auction Infrastructure Design: An Agent-based Simulation Approach
This paper presents an agent-based simulation approach to estimate the effects of auction parameters on the auction outcomes, and to find an optimal or, at least, close to an optimal infrastructure. In particular, this study intends to study how bidders’ personalities and bidding strategies with other auction parameters affect the closing prices in two auction mechanisms: English and Yankee auc...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Multi-Attribute Continuous Double Auction Mechanisms
Auctions have been as a competitive method of buying and selling valuable or rare items for a long time. Single-sided auctions in which participants negotiate on a single attribute (e.g. price) are very popular. Double auctions and negotiation on multiple attributes create more advantages compared to single-sided and single-attribute auctions. Nonetheless, this adds the complexity of the auctio...
متن کاملThe Performance of Grey System Agent and ANN Agent in Predicting Closing Prices for Online Auctions
The introduction of online auction has resulted in a rich collection of problems and issues especially in the bidding process. During the bidding process, bidders have to monitor multiple auction houses, pick from the many auctions to participate in and make the right bid. If bidders are able to predict the closing price for each auction, then they are able to make a better decision making on t...
متن کاملAn Agent Based Market Design Methodology for Combinatorial Auctions
Auction mechanisms have attracted a great deal of interest and have been used in diverse emarketplaces. In particular, combinatorial auctions have the potential to play an important role in electronic transactions. Therefore, diverse combinatorial auction market types have been proposed to satisfy market needs. These combinatorial auction types have diverse market characteristics, which require...
متن کاملEstimating Unobserved Individual Heterogeneity through Pairwise Comparisons
This paper proposes a new methodology to study environments with unobserved agent heterogeneity. We focus on the settings where the heterogeneous factor takes values from an unknown finite set, and the economic model yields testable implications in the form of pairwise inequalities. The method produces a consistent classification of economic agents according to their unobserved types. The paper...
