Transport Model
Multimodal choice model
• Simultaneous mode, route and departure time choice.
• Discrete choice model for a multimodal route set.
• Model takes into account
• Travel times in several modes
• Waiting and transfer time
• Fuel costs, parking costs, public transport price and road
pricing costs
• Compensation of costs
• Different income groups
• Penalties for early/late departure/arrival
• Stay home alternative

Dynamic Network Loading with the LTM
Fundamentals of the Link Transmission Model (LTM)
• Consistent with first order kinematic wave theory (shockwaves
& spillback).
• Based on cumulative flows.
• Time discretized.
• No space discretization (other than the network
representation).
• Triangular fundamental diagram.

• Based on cumulative flows.
• Time discretized.
• No space discretization (other than the network

• Triangular fundamental diagram.
The LTM can only be applied on road networks and should be
combined with a public transport network loading model.

29. Before graduation PhD Research Innovative Transport Pricing Transport Model Stakeholders Model Wrap-up
Stakeholders Model
Mathematical formulation
• Price vector p = (p1 , . . . , pn )
• Effects vector e = (e1 , . . . , em )
• DTA(p) : Rn → Rm is the operator mapping the prices to effects
under user equilibrium in the transport model.

Stakeholders Model
Mathematical formulation
• Price vector p = (p1 , . . . , pn )
• Effects vector e = (e1 , . . . , em )
• DTA(p) : Rn → Rm is the operator mapping the prices to effects
under user equilibrium in the transport model.
The classical approach is:
min f (e)
p
such that e = DTA(p)
where f : Rm → R is the preference of the stakeholder.

Multiple stakeholders
• S is the set of stakeholders.
• Every stakeholder s ∈ S has objective function:

Stakeholders Model
Multiple stakeholders
• S is the set of stakeholders.
• Every stakeholder s ∈ S has objective function:
fs (e) : Rm → R (1)
• Every stakeholder minimizes its objective by setting p.
• Because of the multiple objective functions a formulation as a
simple mathematical problem is not feasible.
34. Before graduation PhD Research Innovative Transport Pricing Transport Model Stakeholders Model Wrap-up
Stakeholders Model
Game Theoretical Approach
• Game theoretical solution algorithms are used.
• The stakeholders can either cooperate or act selfishly.
• Under cooperation coalitions between stakeholders can be
formed and monetary transactions are allowed.
• Without cooperation each stakeholder will make independent
decisions based on self-interest.

Wrap-up
After graduation:
• Find out what you find important in your career!
• Doing PhD research is challenging and offers a lot more than
just desktop work
Innovative Transport Pricing
• A comprehensive model framework is required to evaluate and
design pricing measures
• Cooperation between stakeholders can improve the transport
system
• The method provides insight for stakeholders in the benefit of
forming a coalition (and can be used as decision support
system)
