Abstract:High-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, as high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes that permit solo-drivers to use them with a charge, play an important role in reducing congestion, vehicle hours traveled (VHT), and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the morning commute. In this project, we formulate the morning commute problems with mixed traffic flows on HOT lanes as Differential Complementary Systems (DCS) under two scenarios: (1) two-equilibria model: with total number of solo-drivers and carpoolers fixed, carpoolers reach one equilibrium while solo-drivers reach another (at an equilibrium state, the travel costs of individual commuters are identical); (2) one-equilibrium model: with total number of travelers known, carpoolers and solo-drivers reach one equilibrium.
