Abstract
This paper discusses an analytical dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) model with the extended capability of performing rolling horizon implementation. This model is formulated as a link-based variational inequality and can be solved efficiently to convergence by a relaxation (diagonalization) algorithm. The rolling horizon mechanism makes this proposed approach a flexible tool in evaluating simulation-based DTA models. According to different assumptions of travelers’ route choice behavior, three different classes of travelers are categorized: fixed (predetermined) route class, stochastic dynamic user-optimal class, and dynamic user-optimal class. Model formulation, steps of the algorithm, and rolling horizon implementation are discussed in detail. Computational examples and results are presented and analyzed.
