This project extended the driver behavior model with a second, alternative parameterization of HOT violation. To accompany ready-to-pay model, this project developed a concept of a willing-to-violate model. This model describes the portion of non-High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) drivers that are willing to misrepresent themselves as HOVs to gain free access as a function of several variables, including e.g. the toll cost saved by violation, probability of being caught and the difference of traffic density in the general purpose and the HOT lanes. This parameterization allowed for study of effects on the HOT lane system as a function of estimated probability of catching violators from increased enforcement.
