Route choice modeling is an important component of assignment methodologies. As these methodologies advance towards simulating traffic flows, the route choice model must incorporate more individual and detailed characteristics of the traffic. The study is based on a sample of 597 truck routes traveled in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area (TMA). These trucks are identified in two groups: container-trailer and non-container-trailer. In the TMA, 57% of the freight volume is transported by 10ton-trucks or higher.

In this work both the multimodal hypergraph and the viable hyperpath conceptualizations are presented. The shortest viable hyperpath problem (SVHP) in a multimodal transportation network is defined. We consider a label correcting approach to find the shortest viable hyperpath from an origin to a destination, for different values of the upper limit of modal transfers. Such hyperpaths compose a Pareto-optimal

It is widely recognised that congestion pricing could be an effective measure to solve environmental and congestion problems in urban areas--a reform that normally also would generate a net welfare surplus. Despite this the implementation of congestion pricing has been very slow. One reason for a low public and political acceptance could be that equity impacts have not been given

This report summarizes findings and implementations of probe vehicle data collection based on Bluetooth MAC address matching technology. Probe vehicle travel time data are studied in the following field deployment case studies: analysis of traffic characteristics on key routes during a special event (the Brickyard 400 race in Indianapolis, IN); assessment of delay to motorists during road construction; assessment of

The need to simulate a number of advanced ITS concepts prior to deployment has also necessitated development of high performance microscopic simulators for estimating dynamic traffic assignment, freeway corridor diversion, as well as evaluating driver information systems (including variable message signs), vehicle guidance systems, real time adaptive traffic control strategies and other traffic management concepts. The high performance microscopic simulators

The market for electrically-assisted cycling is growing fast. When substituting motorized travel, it could play an important role in the development of sustainable transport systems. This study aimed to assess the potential of e-bikes for low-carbon commuting by analysing e-bike commuters' motives, travel behaviour and experiences. We GPS-tracked outdoor movements of 24 e-bike users in the Netherlands for two weeks and used their mapped travel behaviour as input for follow-up in-depth interviews. Most participants commuted by e-bike, alternated with car use. E-bike use was highest in work-related, single-destination journeys. It gave participants the benefits of conventional cycling over motorized transport (physical, outdoor activity) while mitigating relative disadvantages (longer travel time, increased effort). The positive experience of e-bike explained the tolerance for longer trip duration compared to other modes of transportation. Participants were inclined to make detours in order to access more enjoyable routes. Results demonstrate that e-bikes can substitute motorized commuting modes on distances perceived to be too long to cover by regular bike, and stress the importance of positive experience in e-bike commuting. This provides impetus for future actions to encourage commuting by e-bike.

The inefficiencies arising from increased freight road traffic in the late 1990s in Mexico have posed to planners engaged in the road provision the goal to find new control measures to reduce the adverse impacts, such as road damage and overloading. In the 1990s, road freight traffic in Mexico altered notably after the deregulation of the road freight industry in

Planning pedestrian environments requires that designers understand how pedestrians interact with their environment and one another. With improved knowledge, the design and planning of pedestrian areas can provide improvements in safety, throughput, and utility. This paper provides an overview of the Intermodal Simulator for the Analysis of Pedestrian Traffic (ISAPT). It focuses on the methodology and approaches used in simulation of the pedestrian traffic, including route planning and navigation.

In this paper, we present a modeling approach, based on Fuzzy Data Fusion, to reproduce drivers' dynamic choice behavior under an Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). The proposed model uses the Possibility Theory to model Uncertainty embedded in human perception of information. We have introduced a time-dependent Possibility Distribution of Information to model the users' changing perception of travel time also based on current network conditions. Drivers' choice models are often developed and calibrated by using Stated Preference (SP) surveys, amongst others. In this work, we present an experiment to set up an SP-tool based on a driving simulator developed at the Polytechnic University of Bari. The results obtained by the proposed model are analyzed and compared with the driver dynamic behavior observed in the experiment.

A common drawback to most of the DTA models is that they do not represent properly spill-back of congestion. Simulation has been suggested as an approach to overcome the problem. The solution approach to DTA would then consist of two components, an analytical method to determine the path dependent flow rates and a simulation based network loading to determine arc volumes. The improvements in software and hardware technologies have made possible to simulate microscopically real networks of sensitive size. This paper describes a heuristic approach to DTA in which two alternative analytical components are used to determine the path flow rates, one based on a stochastic route choice method, and another one based on an approximation to dynamic user equilibrium conditions, while the network loading is done by a microscopic simulation model.
