Abstract:

This paper presents a new equilibrium modeling and solution method for evaluating the impacts of stochastic range anxiety on travel choices and traffic flows in networks serving electric vehicles. Range anxiety within the driving population is represented by individual perceived driving ranges, which are specified by a continuous probability distribution. Convex optimization and variational inequality models are constructed for describing such a network with joint activity location and travel path choices on trip chains subject to driving ranges. An adaption of the projected gradient method is implemented to solve the problem, with the introduction of new decision variables such as path-referred traffic subflow rate and travel subdemand rate. An illustrative example with various forms of driving range distributions demonstrates the applicability of the proposed modeling and solution methods and various impacts of the heterogeneity of range anxiety on network flows.
