Abstract: In this paper, we first define each commuter’s first, second and third trip costs, and then apply the full velocity difference model and the VT-Micro model to explore each commuter’s three trip costs and the system’s corresponding total trip costs in a traffic corridor with two entrances and one exit. The numerical results show that one entrance has prominent effects on the commuter’s three trip costs and the system’s corresponding total trip cost and that the impacts are directly related to the commuter’s departure interval at this entrance. The results can provide some suggestions for reducing the commuters’ trip costs in a traffic corridor with two entrances and one exit.
