Abstract
In this paper, we proposed the model to analyze the optimal commuting and work start (end) time distribution under flexible work hours on railway commuting considering temporal agglomeration effect. Based on optimal control theory, we could solve our model analytically, and get three optimal patterns. Through numerical examples, we could calculate values of differentiated fare in time and introduction rate of flexible workers in order to realize the optimum situation. Furthermore, we could calculate utility level for each pattern, and evaluate economic effect of the flexible work hours.
