Abstract:

To optimize the structure of passenger transportation networks in an urban agglomeration, a multi-modal traffic flow assignment model under combined mode is proposed to study the flow distribution of multi-modal passenger transport networks in the urban agglomeration when the network achieves equilibrium. Based on the analysis of the entire travel process in an urban agglomeration, the super network theory is used to construct a super network model of multi-modal transportation in the urban agglomeration, and the links of the super network are divided into four types—boarding links, travel links, transfer links, and alighting links—among which travel links include travel links on urban transportation networks and travel links on intercity transportation networks. Considering the various factors that affect the choice of passenger travel mode, the generalized cost function of different links and hyperpaths are defined. Based on this, the stochastic equilibrium assignment model of a multi-modal transportation system in an urban agglomeration is proposed and the corresponding solution algorithm is designed based on the method of successive average algorithm as well as the search algorithm of the effective hyperpath. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate and verify the effectiveness of the model and algorithm.
