摘要
This study proposed a bilevel optimization model for the network signal timing design problem by considering the linkflows reflected by the trip-chain route choice behaviors of road users. The bilevel programming model is formulated based on theinteractions between signal timing control and trip-chain behavior, and a solution algorithm by combining variational inequalitysensitivity analysis, the generalized inverse matrix method, and a gradient projection approach revised for trip-chain user equilibriumis developed for the transportation design problem. The performance of the developed model framework was verified throughnumerical analysis under different test scenarios.
