Real-time modelling of normative travel strategies on unreliable dynamic transit networks: a framework analysis

After an introduction on travel strategies and a relatively brief state of the art, the chapter starts by recalling the main factors influencing path choice decision making and focuses on unreliable dynamic service networks, on which a strategy-based path choice should be used. Travel strategies, with their related hyperpaths and diversion rules, together with the different types of optimal strategies, are then defined and analysed. The search methods of the normative optimal strategies are hence presented, taking due consideration of their applications in a real-time predictive info context. Finally, some conclusions are drawn and further necessary research developments are indicated.
