Development and comparison of choice models and tolling schemes for high-occupancy/toll (HOT) facilities

摘要: A high-occupancy/toll (HOT) lane is an increasingly popular form of traffic management strategy which reserves a set freeway lanes for HOVs and transit users, while allowing low-occupancy vehicles (LOVs) to enter fee. In turn, HOT maintain minimal level service by regulating the volume entering LOVs. The focus this paper how model choice process individual drivers, dictates LOVs that choose pay take lane. Such models insights they provide can be very helpful toll setting process. Two simple formulations (an all-or-nothing assignment additive logit model) are compared with proposed formulation based on population value time (VOT) distribution. Both static dynamic algorithms studied model, their performance under deterministic behavior.
