论文摘要
我们说明，我们的运输系统的电气化可能会施加不必要的额外交通拥堵，并延迟日常通勤乘客。通过对这些乘客的旅行行为进行建模，发现更多的乘客倾向于在较窄的高峰时间窗口中出发。这种转变的发生主要是由（1）电动汽车（EV）的能源消耗远低于传统车辆的能源摄入量，并且（2）电动汽车的能源消耗对交通拥堵的敏感程度不如传统车辆的交通拥堵。我们进一步研究了拥堵损失在最大程度地减少拥堵和延迟的作用。
We illustrate that the electrification of our transport system might impose unnecessary extra congestion and delay for daily commuting passengers. By modelling travel behaviors of these passengers, it is found that more of them tend to depart at a narrower peak-hour time window. The occurrence of this shift is mainly caused by (1) the energy consumption of electric vehicles (EVs) is much lower than that of traditional vehicles and (2) the energy consumption of EVs is less sensitive to congestion than that of traditional vehicles. We further examine the role of congestion toll in minimizing the extra congestion and delay.
