Title A STUDY ON BASIC ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR ROADWAY TRIPS BOOKING POLICY
Author Kuo-Chi Yen
Summary Rapid growth in private vehicle ownership has led to congestion and inadequate service on freeways. The authorities should consider the traffic demand management policies that accurately control the freeway during peak hours is required. Recently the authorities discuss a strategy, called ‘‘roadway booking,’’ to mitigate freeway traffic congestion. However, it should be evaluated before the strategy implement systematically. This study proposes a study on basic analytical model for roadway trips booking policy to assess the new strategy. This study includes departure time replacement, path substitute of trip behaviors and arrival time-window limit under the time domains of travelers. With the aforementioned issues it would explain the departure time reservation and route choice phenomenon adequately. Furthermore, the system capacity of the highway system and the different departure times of flows with first in first out phenomenon are important issues to investigate. These can be utilizing the capacity and first-in-first-out constraints to consummate the model.
The results reflect the travelers’ behaviors and highway facilities situation that can be used as reference in establishing public policies.
