Abstract

Motorists often face the dilemma of choosing the route enabling them to realise the fastest (i.e., shortest) journey time. In this paper we examine discrete and continuous optimisation and equilibrium-type problems for a simplified parallel link traffic model using a variance based approach. Various methodologies used for solving these problems (brute force, dynamic programming, tabu search, steepest descent) are explored and comparison is made with the Beckmann cost function employed in transport modelling.
