A Trip-Chain Based Combined Mode and Route Choice Network Equilibrium Model Considering Common Lines Problem in Transit Assignment Model

Abstract This paper proposes new type of combined mode and route choice network equilibrium model where the travellers are assumed to choose their mode considering whole of their trip-chain and the common lines problem is considered in the public transportation assignment. In the proposed model, the nested-logit type of mode and route choice structure is assumed for travellers’ mode and route choice. The proposed model is formulated with the Variational Inequality Problem and the relaxation method is applied to solve the proposed model. Finally, the proposed model is applied to a small network.
