A Multi - State Travel Time Reliability Model

چکیده
Travel time unreliability is an important characterization of transportation systems. The appropriate modeling and reporting of travel time reliability is crucial for individual travelers as well as management agencies. In this paper, a novel multi-state model is proposed for travel time modeling and reporting. The model advances travel time modeling in two aspects. First, the multi-state model provides much improved model fitting as compared to single-mode models. Second and more importantly, the proposed model provides a connection between travel time distributions and the underlying travel time state. This connection allows for the quantitative evaluation of probability of each travel time state as well as the uncertainty associated with each state; e.g., the probability of encountering congestion on a given time of day and the expected travel time if congestion were experienced. A simulation study was conducted to demonstrate the performance of the model. The proposed model was applied to field data collected at San Antonio, TX. The variation of the model parameters as a function of time-of-day was also investigated. The simulation study and field data analysis confirmed the superiority of multi-state model over the state-of-practice single-mode travel time reliability models and ease of interpretation.

Travel time reliability has generally been surmised to be an important attribute of transportation systems. In this paper, we study the contribution of travel time reliability in travelers’ route choice decisions. Traveler’s route choice is formulated as a mixed-logit model, with the coefficients in the model representing individual traveler’s preferences or tastes towards travel time, reliabil...

A capacitated location-routing problem (CLRP) is one of the new areas of research in distribution management. It consists of two problems; locating of facilities and routing of the vehicle with a specific capacity. The purpose of the CLRP is to open a set of stores, allocate customers to established deposits, and then design vehicle tours in order to minimize the total cost. In this paper, a ne...

This paper considers a time dependent(the travel time is not constant throughout the day) pollution routing problem (TDPRP), which aids the decision makers in minimizing travel time, toll cost and emitted pollution cost. In complexity of urban areas most of the time one point is accessible from another with more than one edge. In contrast to previous TDPRP models, which are designed with only ...
