Semi-dynamic Combined Equilibrium Model considering Activity choices

Abstract

It is difficult to evaluate TDM policies by the Four-Step forecasting model because this model presents some significant drawbacks.“Semi-dynamic Combined Equilibrium Model considering Activity choices” is one of models which can overcome and/or modify those problems. Our model integrates trip generation, destination choice, mode choice and route choice behavior, and considers the time-axis and the remnants of flows. Thus we can not only measure induced traffic but also analyze in trip-chain approach. Our model is valid according to the reproducibility applied to the Nagoya Metropolitan Area, although it is necessary to improve the calculation efficiency.
