Analysis of Travel Cost Components Using Large-Scale, Dynamic Traffic Models

Abstract

The original departure-time-choice model introduced by W. Vickrey (1969) for a single origin-destination (O-D) pair is used as a framework for analysis. The aggregation of the commuter’s travel cost for large-scale dynamic networks extends the results obtained by Vickrey for the basic single O-D pair model. A test-site application and a policy example (extension of staggered hours) are provided for the network of the city of Geneva, Switzerland. The focus is on the morning peak hour of private transportation networks.
