“…Conceptually speaking, it remains clear that the simultaneity of home-to-work commuting is the root cause of congestion on many transport networks, especially in big cities (Orfeuil, 2005). There is a logical and deterministic link between synchronised work start times and the synchronisation of prior travel earlier in the morning (Gutiérrez-Puigarnau and Van Ommeren, 2012). This is why, like many authors (Habib, 2012;Ettema et al, 2007;Small, 1982), we will use arrival times at work and their synchronisation to discuss the synchronicity of morning commuting, i.e.…”

“…Arnott () reviews these papers and further applications, while adding his own innovation (still within a static framework) by allowing aggregate labor supplied to be affected by congestion tolls via a reduction in the net wage. Gutierrez‐i Puigarnau and Van Ommeren (), on the other hand, present evidence suggesting that the relationship may be weak empirically.…”

We consider the timing of activities through a dynamic model of commuting with congestion, in which workers care solely about leisure and consumption. Implicit preferences for the timing of the commute form endogenously due to temporal agglomeration economies. Equilibrium exists uniquely and is indistinguishable from that of a generalized version of the classical Vickrey bottleneck model, based on exogenous trip-timing preferences, but optimal policies differ: the Vickrey model will misstate the benefits of a capacity increase, it will underpredict the benefits of congestion pricing, and pricing may make people better off even without considering the use of revenues. * Manuscript

On the Existence and Uniqueness of Equilibrium in the Bottleneck Model with Atomic Users

This paper investigates the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium in the Vickrey bottleneck model when each user controls a positive fraction of total traffic. Users simultaneously choose departure schedules for their vehicle fleets. Each user internalizes the congestion cost that each of its vehicles imposes on other vehicles in its fleet. We establish three results. First, a pure strategy Nash equilibrium (PSNE) may not exist. Second, if a PSNE does exist, identical users may incur appreciably different equilibrium costs. Finally, a multiplicity of PSNE can exist in which no queuing occurs but departures begin earlier or later than in the system optimum. The order in which users depart can be suboptimal as well. Nevertheless, by internalizing self-imposed congestion costs individual users can realize much, and possibly all, of the potential cost savings from either centralized traffic control or time-varying congestion tolls
