A Stochastic Model of Passenger Generalized Time Along a Transit Line
Abstract Along a transit line, vehicle traffic and passenger traffic are jointly subject to variability in travel time and vehicle load hence crowding. The paper provides a stochastic model of passenger physical time and generalized time, including...

Stochastic user Equilibrium with Reference-dependent Route Choice and Endogenous Reference Points
Abstract We consider the application of reference-dependent consumer choice theory to traffic assignment on transportation networks. Route choice is modeled based on random utility maximisation with systematic utility embodying loss aversion for the ...

A Development of Dynamic Road Network Planning Model Considering Step-by-step Construction of Links and Facility on Nodes
Abstract In Japan, regional road network improvement project is evaluated by cost-benefit analysis. However, the conventional evaluation procedure would be inappropriate in case of step-by-step improvement in each link, due to its planning term over ...
