Traffic assignment is used to determine the number of users on roadway links in a network. While this problem has been widely studied in transportation literature, its use of the concept of equilibrium has attracted considerable interest in the field of game theory. The approaches used in both transportation and game theory disciplines are explored, and the similarities and dissimilarities between the m are studied. In particular, treatment of multiple equilibrium solutions using equilibrium refinements and learning algorithms which convergence to equilibria under incomplete information and/or bounded rationality of players are discussed in detail.
Dynamic traffic assignment has grown steadily in popularity and use since its inception. It has become an important and permanent tool in transportati...
Significant efforts have resulted in improved knowledge about the effects of congestion on the motoring public. The Urban Mobility Report (UMR) has be...
