Evaluation of effect of arrival time information provision using transit assignment model

Using capacity-constrained transit assignment model which takes the common lines problem into account,this paper proposes the method for analyzing the effect of arrival time information while comparing with that of the other hardware improvements. The result suggests that arrival time information provision contributes to as much effect as hardware improvements for the whole network. However, the effect is different among OD pairs: information provision brings more effect at the upstream stations whereas the little effect can be shown at the downstream stations. We also find that effect does not directly contribute to the mitigation of congestion.
