Abstract:
Though the conventional network design is extensively studied, the network design problem for ridesharing, in particular, the deployment of high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, remains understudied. This paper focuses on one type of network design problem as to whether existing roads should be retrofit into HOT lanes. It is a continuous bi-level mathematical program with equilibrium constraints. The lower level problem is ridesharing user equilibrium (RUE). To reduce the problem size and facilitate computation, we reformulate RUE in the link-node representation. Then we extend the RUE framework to accommodate the presence of HOT lanes and tolls. Algorithms are briefly discussed and numerical examples are illustrated on the Braess network and the Sioux Falls network, respectively. Results show that carefully selecting the deployment of HOT lanes can improve the overall system travel time.
