Abstract:
In a competitive two-mode network, this paper aims at exploring the effect of the uniform travel credit scheme on modal split and Pareto - improving property considering the heterogeneous VOT of users. Under the uniform travel credit scheme, the government initially issues a total amount of credits and distributes them to each eligible user in a uniform manner, which are allowed to trade in a competitive market. Therefore, travelers can buy or sell their credits according to their own travel need. An amount of uniform credits are charged for usage of highway bottleneck according to the pre-defined credit charging scales. The results show that the uniform travel credit scheme always makes some auto users transfer to transit mode to some extent, and the Pareto-improving property is always true for the homogeneous case whatever the credit charging scale is. However, for the heterogeneous case, the study shows that Pareto-improving property only satisfies when the credits charged at bottleneck are less than a critical value.
