Departure Time and Route Choice

Richard Arnott, André de Palma () and Charles Lindsey ()

Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: Early studies of peak-period traffic congestion generally ignored the departure time decision of road users. Vickrey (1969) and Kocur (1981) remedied this oversight by deriving the departure rate along a single route subject to queuing congestion as the outcome of individual utility maximization. Arnott et al (1985) extend their work, examining alternative toll schemes and deriving rules for optimal capacity. This paper extends these analyses to a simple network of routes in parallel.
