Traffic Assignments in Road Network with Flow Dependent Travel Times

Abstract

In this paper, first, the author will comment on the principles of traffic assignment used generally so far, that is, the principle of minimizing total travel times, of equal travel times, and of travel times ratio. Secondarily, new assignment methods will be proposed respectively according to those principles, on the assumption that the travel times along any road section depends linearly upon the traffic volume at that section. But in this second point, the discussion is confined to computational procedure of those system solutions.
