Equilibrium characterization and computational solutions for departure time choice with two-dimensional heterogeneity

Speaker: Prof. Stephen Boyles <br> University of Texas at Austin Organiser: HOMES - Prof. Kenan Zhang <p>Vickrey's bottleneck, with a departure time choice equilibrium, is a classic model in transportation science.  We consider a variation of this model where travelers are heterogeneous in their aversion to early or late arrival at the destination.  Unlike past research, we consider a fairly general case of heterogeneity, requiring only that the support of the distribution of these parameters be bounded.  We introduce the concept of a "proper division" that converts questions of equilibrium existence, uniqueness, and computation into easier questions regarding existence, uniqueness, and comput
