This paper presents the principles of a traffic assignment model for public transit networks which includes constraints on the total passenger capacity of vehicles. The model takes account of the stock of passengers waiting at each station and of the way this stock is organized. The authors define the attractivity conditions for one transit route compared with the alternative transit routes for a given destination based on the current status of the stock: the transit route in question is attractive when the level of the stock exceeds a certain threshold -- its attractivity threshold. The authors describe a discrete stochastic model for one station and one destination. As the analytical resolution of this Markov model is limited to very simple cases, the authors convert it into a continuous model for which we describe the equilibrium and the traffic induced on all routes. Finally, the various models are compared using a simple example modeling the competition between two taxi companies on a single O-D pair.

The DVD lists the title of this paper as: Passenger Stock and Attractivity Threshold Model for Traffic Assignment on a Public Transit Network with Capacity Constraint.
