چکیده
The Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (IIA) property of the multinomial logit (MNL) model imposes the restriction of zero covariance between the utilities of pairs of alternatives. This restriction is inappropriate for many choice situations; those in which some pairs or sets of alternatives share the same unobserved attributes. The nested logit (NL) model relaxes the zero covariance restriction of the MNL model but imposes the restriction of equal covariance among all alternatives in a common nest and zero covariance otherwise. The paired combinatorial logit (PCL) model relaxes these restrictions further by allowing dierent covariances for each pair of alternatives. This relaxation enables the estimation of differential competitive relationships between each pair of alternatives. The closed form of the PCL model retains the computational advantages of other logit models while the more ̄exible error correlation structure, compared to the MNL model and NL models, enables better representation of many choice situations. This paper describes the derivation, structure, properties and estimation of the PCL model. The empirical results demonstrate that the PCL model is statistically superior to the MNL and NL models and may lead to importantly dierent travel forecasts and policy decisions.

This paper addresses the problem of determining a dynamic berth assignment to ships in the public berth system. While the public berth system may not be suitable for most container ports in major countries, it is desired for higher cost-eectiveness in Japan's ports. The berth allocation to calling ships is a key factor for ecient public berthing. However, it is not calculated in polynomially-...

We consider nonlinear nonconvex capacitated transportation problems where the nonlinearity occurs only in the last row of the transportation tableau. This transportation model can be successfully applied to economics representing the nonlinearity caused by penalties for unsatis®ed contractual quantities or by changing in price. An algorithm for local optimization, based on the algorithms for so...

A reduction method is proposed which allows standard sensitivity techniques for variational inequalities to applied to equilibrium network ̄ow problems without additional assumptions on either the underlying network or the numbers of active paths. In particular it is shown that under mild regularity conditions, small perturbations of equilibria can be given an explicit arc̄ow representation whic...

This paper presents improved time-dependent control strategies for small freeway networks with bottlenecks and unique origin±destination paths. It is assumed that there are no spill-overs from any of the freeway exits so that freeway queues and delays can be completely avoided by regulating access to the system so as to maintain bottleneck ̄ows strictly below capacity. It is also assumed that t...
