Abstract:
To represent the travel cost of traffic of implementing the flexible work-start time in networks during the rush hour, and then to obtain the optimal travel strategy of staggered shifts, a traffic staggered-shifts two-level model is proposed, in which the upper-level is to traverse a set of strategies, and the lower-level, thus according to the each strategy determined by the upper-level, via the theory for dynamic traffic assignment of discrete stochastic network, is to simulate the vehicle-driving features of stochastic dynamic simultaneous route/departure time equilibrium, and the total travel cost is calculated. When the traversal of the set of the strategies is finished, the optimal strategy is hence determined. The simulation not only reveals the primary factors affecting the selected results of the optimal strategy, but also reveals the changing law of selected directions of the optimal strategy under certain conditions, which can be of reference values for making urban transportation regulations of staggered shifts. 3 tabs, 4 figs, 9 refs.
