Welcome to the Transportation Research Board Network Equilibrium Modeling Subcommittee, AEP40(2). We are sponsored by the Transportation Network Modeling AEP40 Committee.
Mission & Scope
University of Washington
banx@uw.edu
The Network Equilibrium Modeling Subcommittee covers a broad scope of issues that deal with the transportation of goods, people, vehicles, water, electricity, and data. Our Subcommittee is part of the Transportation Network Modeling Committee and draws on various fields, including operations research, computer science, economics, electrical engineering, and mathematical modeling, to optimize networked transportation systems.
The notion of network equilibration is widely manifested in the formation and evolution of flow patterns in various transportation contexts and problems. The Subcommittee’s areas of interest include network equilibrium, congestion representation, tour-based travel representation, non-separable travel time-flow relationships, dynamic network flows, schedule-based transit assignment, capacity-constrained assignment, intermodal trip and tour assignment, integrated travel modeling, evacuation planning, optimal toll patterns, combined distribution-assignment, network aggregation, and efficient assignment algorithms.
