Challenges arise in dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) when heterogeneous users evaluate choices on the basis of multiple interrelated criteria such as travel time and travel time uncertainty. This paper proposes a density-based formulation along with a stochastic quasigradient projection (SQGP) solution scheme with the aid of a traffic simulator. Path-dependent link cost is proposed to allow for the objective function formulation and more tractable analysis. The criteria in the discussion and the case study are travel time (link-additive), monetary cost (non additive), and travel time uncertainty (path-dependent link-additive). An information entropy-based uncertainty measure is proposed because of concerns about using conventional measures such as variability and reliability. The case study shows stochastic and efficient convergence, demonstrates the ability of SQGP to bypass local optima, and exemplifies the significant effect of using path-independent and path-dependent link costs to forecast traffic pattern and toll revenue. The results also suggest that a pricing strategy aimed at optimizing travel time and reliability for different user classes should consider travel time correlations between toll segments and the adjacent no-toll segments if enumerating paths is practically infeasible.
