Abstract:

We propose an evaluation approach for a novel travel demand management strategy known as the downtown space reservation system (DSRS). This approach takes into account three perspectives, i.e., transportation service provider’s, the user’s, and the community’s and is based on network‐Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) where the perspectives are inter‐related through intermediate inputs/outputs. Two types of network‐DEA models (radial and slacks‐based models) are considered. An example is provided using data propagated from a microscopic traffic simulation model of the DSRS. The results show that individual node performance can drive network DEA performance and that this information can inform future designs of the DSRS.
