Urban Transportation Network Modeling

Systems Hub / Intelligent Transportation · 3 Credits

This course discusses formulations and algorithms of finding equilibrium flow patterns through transportation networks to assess the network performance and providing foresights into the future dynamics, then explores policies, designs, and strategies to improve the system performance. Emphasis is placed on the understanding of the paradigm of equilibrium analysis of transportation systems. Topics discussed in the class include static user equilibrium, system optimum, market- based instruments for congestion management, bi-level programming models, bottleneck models dynamic network modeling, and the implications of emerging technologies on the analyses of transportation networks.
