Abstract

Abstract

In order to analyze the travel and parking behaviors of commuter in stochastic and dynamic transport network, a fixed point model was set up by using network equilibrium rule and fixed point theory, and a schedule reliability and a parking reliability were put forward to measure the stability of the network. It is found that the location of parking facility and walking distance have significant influence on the levels of both the schedule reliability and parking reliability of commuter, specifically, commuters often park their cars at the nearer locations from their workplaces among multiple parking locations with the same parking charges; during traffic peak period in the morning, the parking reliability of farther location is higher than that of nearer location. Analysis result shows that the indices can effectively measure the service levels of road network and parking facilities in everyday different periods.
