Game Theory Model in Assessment and Selection of Transfer Hub's Layout

Abstract

Transferring functions and the relative layout programs of huge stations are getting complicated and multiplied while transportation tools and socioeconomic needs are intensively developing. For the assessment, comparison and selection process of transport hub’s layout, the usual methods used now including analytic hierarchy process and expert system method which are not very precise and criticized subjectively bias. The paper introduces game theory and set up the choice model for transfer hub’s layout assessment and selection process which is more accurate and less subjective influenced. It quantitatively transfers the layout’s selection process into a game theory problem and analyses the existence of NASH equilibrium to put forward the arithmetic of Iterated Elimination of Strictly Dominated Strategy in the general condition and the Integrated Strategy in the special condition. Finally, examples are given to verify the model’s feasibility.
