Analysis of Traffic Divergence Behavior Based on the Game Theory.

Abstract: Traffic divergence includes traffic restricted divergence and traffic flexible divergence, which process is regarded as a kind of game behavior between traffic management and highway users. In the paper, based on the game theory, the game model between traffic management and highway users is established and is solved to get Nash equilibrium point. The result from analyzing the model shows traffic flexible divergence based on adjusting highway toll rate has a wide applied future. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
