1 First-Best Dynamic Assignment of Commuters with Endogenous Heterogeneities in a Corridor Network ISTTT 22@Northwestern University Minoru Osawa, Haoran Fu, Takashi Akamatsu Tohoku University July 24, 2017

2 Background Departure-time choice equilibrium model for commute problems has long been studied. - Vickrey, 1969; Hendrickson & Kocur, 1981; etc.. In the long term, travel demand patterns vary over time because of commuters choices (e.g. residential locations and obs) and inevitably affect short-term dynamic. An effective framework incorporating the short term and long term is worth of studying. 2

3 Purpose Propose a framework that synthesizes long-term travel demand forecasting with short-term dynamic traffic assignment. Long-term equilibrium: residential location; ob Short-term equilibrium: departure time Investigate properties of equilibrium. Temporal/spatial patterns 3

4 Contributions Integration of dynamic bottleneck congestion and Urban Economics cf. Arnott, 1998; Gubins & Verhoef, 2014; Takayama & Kuwahara, 2016 In a corridor network with multiple bottlenecks cf. Shen & Zhang, 2009; Tian, et al., 2012; etc. With endogenous heterogeneities Policy implication for investment on bottleneck capacity expansions 4

9 Short-term TDM Policy: TNP Scheme Definition A tradable network permit (TNP) is a right that allows its holder to pass through a pre-specified BN during a pre-specified time period. - Akamatsu, 2007; Wada & Akamatsu, 2013; Akamatsu & Wada, 2017 Assumptions A competitive market is assumed for trading permits. The number of issued permits is limited to be less than or equal to BN capacity. Queues of all BNs are eliminated. 9

10 Short-term Equilibrium under TDM Policy Optimal-choice conditions in short-term equilibrium equilibrium cost commuting cost arrival-flow rate C ( t) 0 if q C ( t) 0 if q value of time schedule delay ( t) 0 ( t) 0 C, ( t i ) [ s ( t ) d i ] p m( t ) Permit market clearing conditions supply (BN capacity) i,, t permit price free-flow travel time demand i q, ( ) 0 if ( ) 0 m m t p i i t i, t i q, ( ) 0 if () 0 m i m t pi t mi 10

12 Efficiency of The Integrated Equilibrium Proposition 1: The integrated equilibrium is socially optimal in the sense that it minimizes the total transportation cost.

24 Long-term Policy: BN Capacity Expansions BN capacity expansions A long-term policy of road construction Self-financing principle Lemma: The optimal amount of investment on BN capacity expansions coincides with the revenue of permits. - Wada & Akamatsu, 2013; Akamatsu, 2017 Optimal amount of investment in total: R ( Q) pi ( t Q)d i t i t 24

25 Policy Implication for BN Capacity Expansions Integrated model BN capacity expansions Naive model BN capacity expansions ρ Long-term { Q, r, w ρ} Short-term { q, p, ρ Q} Q C N ρ Long-term { Q, r, w ρ} Short-term { q, p, ρ Q} Q N TNP scheme TNP scheme Proposition 5: The naive model overestimates optimal amount of total investment on BN capacity expansions, N i.e. R( Q ) R( Q ). 25

26 Concluding Remarks An integrated model effectively synthesizing the long term and short term is proposed. Analytical solutions for DSO problems in a corridor network are derived. Qualitative properties of solution in equilibrium are investigated. A model considering short and long terms separately misleads long-term policies, such as investment on BN capacity expansions. 26

27 Appendix: False BNs without Heterogeneities Definition A false bottleneck is a bottleneck whose permit price is always zero in equilibrium. False BNs do not affect essential properties, but only cause irrelevant freeness in the solution. Criterion to detect false BNs BN i is a false BN if and only if for some A nm n m m i. ni i A n st () p () t 3 overlap (if BN 3 is false) t 27
