Abstract:

This paper presents an integrated nested logit mode choice and dynamic network simulation-assignment model platform to support congestion and pricing studies. The integrated model, coupling a nested logit mode choice model with the algorithmic procedures developed for large-scale dynamic network assignment applications, is demonstrated for the New York metropolitan region “best practice” network using actual data. Specifically, the proposed model simultaneously addresses two important problems on multidimensional networks: a time-dependent stochastic user equilibrium mode choice problem and a multi-class multi-criterion dynamic user equilibrium route choice problem. This study reformulates these two equilibrium assignment problems as gap function based nonlinear optimization problems. Then a projected gradient based descent direction method is proposed to solve these nonlinear optimization problems. This solution algorithm is embedded in a simulation-assignment algorithmic framework that implements individual choices of both travelers to modes and vehicles to routes. This micro-assignment approach is shown to provide the integrated model with rich behavioral modeling capabilities which enable realistic modeling of heterogeneous users’ mode and route choices in response to a variety of traffic management measures, such as dynamic pricing, as well as congestion induced unreliability.
