    Abstract
  • The existing evaluation methods of quantitative traffic network efficiency were compared.Network structure, traffic demand, travel choice, travel cost and other factors were considered, and the evaluation result rationalities of three methods were studied from the following three aspects, namely the analytic calculation, influence rule of traffic demand on network efficiency under fixed network structure, and influence rule of network structure on network efficiency under fixed traffic demand.The pros, cons and applications of different methods were summarized.Comparative result shows that the calcuation method of weighted network operation efficiency (method 1) does not consider the congestion effect of transportation network, and the calculated network efficiency is a monotone function of traffic demand, so it cannot be used in traffic congested network.The calcuation method of transportation congestednetwork efficiency (method 2) is suitable for the efficiency evaluation of congested network, but for the premise of constant demand, the efficiency is a monotonous increasing function of connected path numbers between OD, and cannot reflect the influence rule of network structure on traffic network efficiency. The calcuation method of transportation network efficiency (method 3) can give a true reflection of comprehensive influence effect of network structure, traffic demand, travel cost and travel choice on network efficiency.In addition, the network efficiency calculated by method 3 and the Braess paradox can explain with each other, which indicates that method 3 have a relatively better rationality on the real operation performance.In the fixed structure of traffic network, there always exists a traffic demand to ensure the maximal network efficiency calculated by method 3.In the fixed demand of traffic network, there always exists a network structure to ensure the maximal network efficiency calculated by method 3.
