Weibull Distribution Based Multi-class Stochastic User Equilibrium Model

This paper aims to develop a multi-class Weibull distribution based route choice model (MWM) to alleviate the drawback from conventional logit model meanwhile take multiclass users into consideration. Specially, this paper distinguishes the user categories according to different cognitive levels of the network based on weibit model. The equivalent mathematical programming formulation for multi-class stochastic user equilibrium (MSUE) is provided and the solution algorithm is given. Numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the equilibrium traffic assignment. Keywords-multi-class user; logit model; weibit model; stochastic user equilibrium; network cognitive level
