Day-to-day evolution of departure time choice in stochastic capacity bottleneck models with bounded rationality and various information perceptions

This study investigates the dynamical evolution of travelers’ departure time choice in a bottleneck-constrained roadway system with stochastic capacity. When considering day-to-day traffic evolution, this study explores two scenarios: travelers have long-term historical knowledge and real-time information provision; and travelers have short-term travel experience and real-time information provision. In this context, this study models boundedly rational travelers. This study sheds light on the trade-off between daily (short-term) equilibrium and statistical (long-term) equilibrium.
