The Analysis of Transit Assignment with Variable Transit Price Based on Time Schedule

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a method of peak period pricing to alleviate peak period crowding on the transit vehicles and the platforms. We expanded the route network into a time-expanded network based on the transit schedule, so the dynamic transit assignment is transferred into static transit assignment. Congestion coefficient is used to express the crowd in transit vehicles. In order to reach the goal of both government and the travelers, we establish a bi-level programming model.
