| ABSTRCT | This paper analyzes the optimal starting location of a high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lane
for a linear monocentric urban area. Both travel time and carpooling costs are taken into
account. The research proposes an analytical framework for the case with a continuum
demand distribution along a highway corridor. The objective is assumed to maximize
social welfare of the transportation system, which is the difference between the total user
benefit and travel cost. Numerical analysis via simulation experiments was conducted to
seek the existence of an optimal solution. Based on the results of a sensitivity analysis,
we find a specific relationship between the carpooling cost and the optimal design of the
starting point of an HOV lane. |
