Day-to-Day Dynamic Multivehicle Assignment: Deterministic Process Models

In the near future, transportation systems modelers and planners will likely be challenged by more complex scenarios. This is due to the different types of vehicles that include different (i) powertrains (conventional, hybrid, electric, etc.), (ii) ownerships (privately-owned vs. shared vehicles), a...

description In the near future, transportation systems modelers and planners will likely be challenged by more complex scenarios. This is due to the different types of vehicles that include different (i) powertrains (conventional, hybrid, electric, etc.), (ii) ownerships (privately-owned vs. shared vehicles), and (iii) levels of automation (from human-driven to fully autonomous). All these different vehicle types compete for the same arcs and jointly participate to congestion. Thus, existing methods for travel demand assignment to a transportation network, the main tools for transportation systems analysis to support transportation project assessment and evaluation, need to be extended to cope with mixed traffic. In this paper, deterministic process models for day-to-day dynamic multivehicle assignment are presented, including fixed-point models for equilibrium assignment as a special case. Vehicle types may be distinguished with respect to several parameters, such as flow equivalence coefficient, occupancy factor, cost equivalence coefficient, and behavioral parameters. Results of an application to a toy network are also discussed showing that advanced vehicles (AVs) may or may not have a positive effect of equilibrium stability.
