RELIABILITY OF TRANSPORT NETWORKS. CHAPTER 9. TRAVEL TIME VERSUS CAPACITY RELIABILITY OF A ROAD NETWORK

Travel time reliability and capacity reliability are considered to be two useful measures of the performance of a road traffic network. A mathematical model was developed involving these concepts and the route choice behaviour of drivers and road capacity variations. Travel time reliability and capacity reliability were interconnected by two intervening reference parameters: travel time theshold and traffic demand threshold. A simplified Tuen Mun Highway network in Hong Kong was used for testing with the Monte Carlo simulation method. The model established an efficient procedure for a reliability-based comprehensive performance assessment of a road network. For the covering abstract see ITRD E109656.
