Abstract
In this paper we present a new general equilibrium model appropriate for multimodal networks. A solution of the model gives the equilibrium distribution of travellers and vehicles over a transportation network. The model is expressed in terms of inverse cost-flow functions; and delays are explicitly modelled. The paper outlines an equilibration algorithm and convergence results for a small network are provided. The equilibrium model has been designed in such a way that optimisation procedures may naturally be added to the equilibration algorithm.
