TRAFFIC EQUILIBRIUM METHODS: STATE-OF-THE-ART PAPERS

Twelve papers, selected from those presented at the International Symposium on Traffic Equilibrium Methods held at the Universite de Montreal, November 21-23, 1974, summarize the current state of model research, computation and practice in this area. The papers are on topics as follows: 'Equilibrium versus Optimum in Public Transportation Systems'; 'Integrated Equilibrium Flow Models for Transportation Planning'; 'Equilibrium Methods for the Study of a Congested Urban Area'; 'Area Traffic Control and Network Equilibrium'; 'Delay Functions in Assignment Problems'; 'Analysis and Comparison of Behavioral Assumptions in Traffic Assignment'; 'Supply Functions for Public Transport-Initial Concepts and Models'; 'Equilibrium Methods for Traffic Assignment'; 'Freeway Corridor Assignment Equilibria'; 'Network Equilibrium Capabilities for the UMTA Transportation Planning System'; 'The Choice of Assignment Techniques for Large Networks'; 'Equilibrium Models in Use-Practical Problems and Proposals for Transport Planning'.
