“…Let G^=(N^, A^) represent a mixed-mode network, where N^, A^, respectively, are the sets of physical nodes and links. Using a multi-layer structure [5], the mixed-mode network can be partitioned into a combined network with the sets of different mode subnetworks, G=(N,A) where N is a set of nodes and A a set of links. Let f m rs,w (t) denote the traveler flow departing at interval t on route w between O-D pair (r,s) and v rs,m a,w (k) is the class m traveler inflow to link a during interval k between OD pair (r,s) over route w. This link inflow can be represented by the route departing flow:…”

This paper proposes a time-dependent network equilibrium model in a mixed-mode network with P&R facilities to investigate the effects on travelers' choice of time-varying price of the P&R. An equivalent variational inequality (VI) problem is formulated tocapture all the components of the proposed model in a time-dependent multi-layer framework. A numerical example is used to illustrate the application of the proposed model and solution algorithm.

Role of Bus‐Based Park and Ride in the UK: A Temporal and Evaluative Review

2008

The number of bus-based Park and Ride schemes in the UK has grown substantially over the past 40 years as a result of its encouragement by the Government as a tool to deal with increasing traffic congestion and traffic-related pollution. The aim of this paper is to analyse the degree to which Park and Ride is effective in the contemporary policy context. The authors identify phases of development of Park and Ride since its emergence as a local solution to transport capacity constraints in historic towns.Policy goals are identified against which a review of literature is used to highlight its effectiveness. It is concluded that Park and Ride may increase the distance travelled by its users due to low load factors on dedicated buses, public transport abstraction and trip generation, although it is highlighted that there are areas in which further research is required to clarify its impacts. Introduction'Park and Ride' (P&R) is the name given to the form of intermodal transport that specifically involves the interchange between private and public modes to perform a complete trip, through the provision of a parking facility with direct access to a public transport service (Spillar, 1997). While the private mode used is generally the car, cycle storage facilities are also common, either alongside car parking or exclusively with 'bike and ride' schemes. Various modes of public transport are used for the 'ride' component of the trip. P&R sites are found adjoining light and heavy rail networks and may be added to an existing bus network, or as is more common, dedicated bus services. P&R is also used as an interchange facility for ridesharing. 3P&R is a tool that has been used internationally, although varying degrees of success have been experienced. It has become particularly popular in the US for instance, where most urban areas have introduced schemes to support existing public transport networks, reduce congestion or provide a ridesharing facility (US EPA, 1992). The design of P&R schemes also differs according to the contexts in which it is used and the reasons for its use but there are three main formats adopted (AASHTO, 1992;Spillar, 1997): remote P&R services offer a long-distance connection (typically 40-80 miles) from satellite or rural settlements to major employment or retail centres using express services; local service P&R tends to be located on traditional public transport networks and operates informally and on a much smaller scale; peripheral P&R schemes are those located on the edge of urban areas and are used to intercept motorists travelling into the centre.In Europe, the popularity of P&R has been mixed. In the Netherlands for example, a general lack of success with P&R has been attributed to insufficient excess demand for CBD parking and a lack of sustained political support (Bos and van In the UK, heavy rail-based P&R has been very common and although this has usually been practiced informally from station car parks, but there are instances where parking is branded as a P&R service.
