Traffic Assignment Problem

This monograph provides both a unified account of the development of models and methods for the problem of estimating equilibrium traffic flows in urban areas and a survey of the scope and limitations of present traffic models. The development is described and analyzed by the use of the powerful instruments of nonlinear optimization and mathematical programming within the field of operations research. The first part is devoted to mathematical models for the analysis of transportation network equilibria; the second deals with methods for traffic equilibrium problems.
This title will interest readers wishing to extend their knowledge of equilibrium modeling and analysis and of the foundations of efficient optimization methods adapted for the solution of large-scale models. In addition to its value to researchers, the treatment is suitable for advanced graduate courses in transportation, operations research, and quantitative economics.

Aceasta monografie ofera atat o prezentare unificata a dezvoltarii de modele si metode pentru problema estimarii fluxurilor de trafic de echilibru in zonele urbane, cat si o analiza a sferei si limitarilor modelelor de trafic actuale. Dezvoltarea este descrisa si analizata prin utilizarea instrumentelor puternice de optimizare neliniara si programare matematica in domeniul cercetarii operationale.
