Abstract:
From the commuters' acceptable perspective, using the utility function of constant elasticity of substitution (CES), the paper formulates a fixed demand commuting model based on the combination policy of tradable credit scheme and encouraged carpooling, in which a coefficient for government support on carpooling behaviors is added into the constraint condition of travel budget, and then makes an analysis on commuters' mode choices. The results show that this combination policy can effectively guide some solo commuters become the carpool commuters, and the commuting individuals can reduce their travel budget without damaging their original commuting demand, although the budget reduction for individuals preferring solo commuting is relatively small. Additionally, it shows that there exists a feasible region for setting the adjustment factors and encouraged carpooling coefficients, and there is a corresponding lower bound of adjustment factor for different encouraged carpooling coefficient. Once the adjustment factor and the encouraged carpooling coefficient are given, the credit price is uniquely determined by the market, and it is higher for a lower adjustment factor and a higher encouraged carpooling coefficient. © 2017, Editorial Board of Journal of Systems Engineering Society of China.
