Abstract: The morning and evening peak hours warrant substantial academic investigation. The primary purposes of commuting during peak hours are typically for school and work. School locations often deviate from the primary home-to-work commuting corridors, thus leading to the diverging and merging of commuting flow. To investigate the traffic system, this study focused on the commuting system in a “triangle with a tail” network. This traffic system is complicated, and we analyzed it from the perspectives of traffic flow and travel behavior.
