Disequilibrium Network Design: A New Paradigm for Transportation Planning and Control

Abstract

In a very broad sense, the network design problem (NDP) is a topic that has captured the attention of many researchers. This is mainly due to the immense importance of strategic capital investment decisions involving transportation infrastructure. For the purposes of this paper we limit the scope of the network design problem to highway systems. Design related decisions relevant to highways include a rich and wide variety of strategic (e.g., new right of way), tactical (one way street assignment, HOV assignment) and operational (traffic signalization, ramp metering) decisions that typically arise in transportation planning.
