Abstract
This paper develops a comprehensive framework for analysing and calculating user equilibrium, system optimum, and externalities in time-dependent road networks. Under dynamic user equilibrium, traffic is assigned such that for each origin-destination pair in the network, the individual travel costs experienced by each traveller, no matter which combination of travel route and departure time he/she chooses, are equal and minimal. The system optimal flow is determined by solving a state-dependent optimal control problem, which assigns traffic such that the total system cost of the network system is minimized. The externalities are derived by using a novel sensitivity analysis. The analyses developed in this paper can work with general travel cost functions. Numerical examples are provided for illustration and discussion. Finally, some concluding remarks are given.
