Analysis on the Game among Transportation Modes in Comprehensive Passenger Transportation Corridor
Publication: International Conference on Transportation Engineering 2007
Abstract
In order to maximize its profit, each transportation mode would take measures to compete with others. So, to sufficiently exert the function of transportation corridor, it is necessary to harmonize the competition. According to the characteristics of comprehensive transportation corridor and multidimensional game theory, based on the systematic optimization theory and profit maximization theory, a three-dimensional game model for two transportation modes in comprehensive passenger transportation corridor about pricing, inputs of service and travel time-saving is established, and its equilibrium is obtained; then develops the participators from 2 to n, and analyzes the equilibrium solution; lastly, the validity of the theory and model is validated by an example. The analysis on the equilibrium and the example reveals that if one wants to maximize its profit, it should be considered synthetically and choose the optimal strategy vector. The results of the research provide a theoretical reference for system optimization of comprehensive passenger transportation corridor.
