Abstract

We shall review the four main formalisms proposed for transportation networks in a discrete and continuous framework. Section 2.1 is dedicated to the monge-Kantorovich model. Section 2.2 describes the Gilbert-Steiner discrete irrigation model. Section 2.3 is devoted to the notation of the three continuous mathematical models (transport paths, patterns and traffic plans). Section 2.4.1 lists the mathematical questions and tells where they will be solved in the book. Section 2.5 discusses several extensions and related models in urban optimization.
