An Equilibrium Model in Urban Transit Riding and Fare Polices

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series:Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 3521))

Included in the following conference series:

Abstract

This paper deals with the riding behavior of commuters who take trains from a living place to a work place during morning rush hours. The total travel cost include early and late arrival penalties as well as carriage body capacity. An equivalent mathematical programming model which generates equilibrium riding behavior is presented. The number of actually chosen transit runs, passenger flow distributions, and fares resulted from three system configurations namely social optimum, monopoly by one company and duopoly competition, are investigated by numerical examples.
