Abstract
Traffic assignment to transportation networks expresses the relation between origin-destination demand flows and link flows on a transportation network, and resulting performances, such as travel times, saturation degrees, etc. Traffic assignment models are one of the basic tools for the analysis and design of transportation systems. As such, they are currently used in many different contexts and are implemented in several software packages.
