“…where E a denotes the environmental cost per unit length on link a, l a is the length of link a, and γ ∈ [0, 1] represents the weight of environmental cost. This is a smoothing method to handle the weights of travel time cost and environmental cost in the generalized cost function.…”

“…The sustainable development of transportation systems is a major concern throughout the world, which is typically characterized in terms of three dimensions, including "economic, environmental, and social" [1]. However, due to the long-term neglect of the environmental problem, the rapid development of urban cities is at the expense of the environment.…”

“…The main contributions of our research includes three aspects: (1) We proposed a fresh scheme based on the travelers' route choice behavior to reduce the environmental cost of the transportation network; (2) We proposed a mixed SUE model and the corresponding algorithm to describe and solve this problem; (3) We tested the effectiveness of the scheme by applying the model and algorithm in the scale of the transportation network. Our research can provide some new ideas for traffic planners and managers to reduce the environmental cost caused by traffic.…”

The environment problem is a sustainable hot topic in the field of transportation research. With higher awareness of the environment problem, travelers tend to choose more environment friendly traffic modes and travel routes. However, for motor vehicle drivers, the environmental cost is an implicit cost, which is not easily perceived. With the help of the advanced traveler information system (ATIS), a fresh scheme was proposed to reduce the environmental cost of the transportation network, which incorporates the information of environmental cost into ATIS to guide drivers to choose more environment-friendly routes. To test the validity of the scheme, we adopted the theory of stochastic network user equilibrium to assign two classes of drivers on the transportation network and analyzed the impact on environmental cost after applying this scheme. Mathematically, a mixed stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) model was proposed to analyze this scheme. The corresponding algorithm was also proposed. Both the model and algorithm were tested in the numerical examples. Through the examples, the validity and feasibility of our proposed scheme were also identified. Our research provided some new ideas for traffic planners and managers to reduce environmental costs caused by traffic.

“…As a result, more researchers have published increasingly growing works over time. Some reviews among these researches have been conducted by Migdalas [1], Yang and H. Bell [2], Kepaptsoglou and Karlaftis [3], Farahani and Miandoabchi et al [4], and recently by Xu and Chen et al [5]. General network design or part of urban transportation network design has been reviewed and summarized.…”
