Abstract
In this paper we deal with transportation networks when some capacity constraints are introduced on route flows. Our purpose is to show how the equilibrium solution, according to a generalized form of Wardrop’s principle (see [10, 11]), can still be found. We shall also provide an example of a network in which, paradoxically, the increase in the travel demands reduces the total costs.
