Abstract
High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane has been designed to maximize the movement of people rather than vehicles. For completely understanding the travel pattern of a multilane highway system, this paper presents a dynamic user equilibrium framework, in which commuters, composed of solo-driving drivers, ridesharing drivers and ridesharing passengers, choose their departure times and transport modes to workplace every day. The ridesharing vehicles can use both the HOV lane and the general purpose lane while the solo drivers are only allowed to use the latter. It is found that the rush hour on both lanes is identical but the system’s total travel cost decreases, in a nonlinear way, with the expansion of HOV lane’s capacity.
