Abstract Solving the road congestion problem is one of most pressing issues in modern cities since it causes time wasting, pollution, higher industrial costs and huge maintenance costs. Advances ITS technologies advent autonomous vehicles are changing mobility dramatically. They enable implementation a coordination mechanism, called coordinated traffic assignment, among sat-nav devices aiming a...

Equilibrium ‡ow in a physical network with a large number of users (e.g., transportation, communication and computer networks) need not be unique if the costs of the network elements are not the same for all users. Such di¤erences among users may arise if they are not equally a¤ected by congestion or have di¤erent intrinsic preferences. Whether or not, for all assignments of strictly increasing...

We consider the problems of computing tolls and checking for equilibrium of ows in a traac network in which travelers act according to Wardrop's user-equilibrium principle. We provide an algorithm which, given any feasible distribution of traac ows, and the corresponding link traversal times, will either (i) determine that the given ows and travel times satisfy Wardrop's user-equilibrium princi...

This paper presents a formulation of the multiple user class, variable demand, probit stochastic user equilibrium model (SUE). Sufficient conditions are stated for differentiability of the equilibrium flows of this model. This justifies the derivation of sensitivity expressions for the equilibrium flows. This paper then considers the network design problem (NDP), assuming that users’ responses ...
