Abstract:
It is of great practical significance by adopting effective traffic management measures to guide the travel needs of commuters reasonably to alleviate the urban traffic congestion and reduce the individual travel cost. Based on the classical bottleneck model in a mixed transportation system with regular vehicles and autonomous vehicles, this paper studies the impact on commuters’ travel behaviors after implementing the tradable credit scheme that encourages carpooling, and analyzes the traffic management strategy parameters (such as encouraging carpooling coefficients, the number of credits charged on road). The results show that, with the uniform strategy implemented, although some commuters turn to the ridesharing mode, increasing the encouragement of carpooling will reduce the number of ridesharing commuters. Meanwhile, the system optimal solutions can be obtained when the traffic management strategy parameters meet a specific relationship. Implementing a time-varying strategy will yield a higher equilibrium price for tradable credits, but the total system cost is reduced more than that under a uniform strategy. The equilibrium price of tradable credits can be uniquely determined whatever implementing a uniform or a time-varying strategy. This research can provide a theoretical reference for the traffic management department to formulate the travel demand guidance strategies in the era of mixed traffic. © 2022, Editorial Board of Journal of Systems Engineering Society of China.
