Introducing and testing a game-theoretic model for a lottery-based metering system in Minneapolis, United States

The results from the microsimulation model suggest that the LBM system reduces congestion significantly and increases revenue. The best strategy obtained from the game-theoretic model presents challenges for its calculation. But in the context of the most likely scenarios, this paper suggests that drivers should adopt the safest strategy. The safest strategy may coincide with what are commonly known as “minimax regret” and “maximin” strategies.
