Description
Summary:Reserve capacity is the core of reliability analysis based on road network capacity. This article optimizes its bi-level programming model: the upper-level model has added service level coefficient and travel time limit, which realizes the unification of capacity and travel time reliability analysis to a certain extent. Stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) model based on origin has been selected as the lower-level model, which added capacity constraints to optimize distribution results, and allows the evaluation of reliability to be continued. Through the SUE model, the iterative step size of the method of successive averages can be optimized to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. After that, the article designs the algorithm flow of reliability analysis based on road network capacity, and verifies the feasibility of the designed algorithm with an example. Finally, combined with the conclusion of reliability analysis, this article puts forward some effective methods to improve the reliability of the urban road network.
