Abstract:

Commuters from two different residence places drive to the same working place through two completely non-overlapping highways with bottlenecks and share a parking space. Based on the classical bottleneck model, we introduced competition for parking spaces between the two groups of commuters, constructed a function about location of parking slot and established the departure time choice model considering walking cost. Based on the start time and end time of the rush hour of the two groups, the equilibrium state can be classified into four situations. Considering the time of on time arrival, the four situations can be further classified into 14 sub-situations. We have derived the departure pattern and arrival pattern of the commuters in these sub-situations. Finally, considering the scenario that two groups of commuters have the same value of time and the bottleneck capacities on the two highways are also the same, numerical examples have been presented to show how the equilibrium state changes with walking speed and commuter numbers.

Key words: two-to-one network, morning rush hour commute problem, bottleneck model, location of parking slot, walking cost
