Summary: This application simulates the single-road bottleneck model with stochastic departure-time choice (de Palma, Ben-Akiva, Lefere and Litinas, 1983) using METROPOLIS2. It shows that METROPOLIS2 is able to replicate the analytical results from the paper, as long as the number of argents or the degree of stochasticity are large enough.

Summary: This application compares the output of METROPOLIS1 and METROPOLIS2 on the same Île-de-France simulation from Saifuzzaman et al. (2012). It shows that both simulators produce similar results but METROPOLIS2 outperforms METROPOLIS1 in terms of computing speed, convergence and distance to a Nash equilibrium.
