Abstract

Autonomous vehicles are expected to generate significant impact on travel behavior and modal split in transportation system. This study investigates the influence of combined strategy of tradable credit scheme (TCS) and public transit fare on commuters' travel mode choice (such as the conditions for various portfolios of travel modes, the penetration rate for shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs), and the credit price), and the number of commuters transferring among different travel modes and the total travel cost. The results show that the equilibrium credit price can be uniquely determined after the combination strategy is introduced. When a certain condition is met, the number of commuters for regular vehicles and the total number of vehicles on highway decrease significantly by switching to the modes of SAV or public transit, and the effect increases with the public transit fare and the amount of charged credit. Finally, the optimal solution of the total travel cost appears in the region including all three travel modes, where the amount of charged credit equals a certain value and the public transit fare achieves its maximal value in the feasible region. This paper is helpful in quantifying the impact of the new technology and providing the theoretical reference for traffic management departments to develop effective management strategies.
