A multiclass, multicriteria traffic network equilibrium model

In this paper, we develop a multiclass, multicriteria traffic network equilibrium model in which travelers of a class perceive their travel disutility on a route as a weighting of travel time and travel cost. The model explicitly treats congestion in the network and provides an alternative to existing multimodal traffic network models. The formulation of the governing equilibrium conditions, as well as the qualitative analysis, and computational procedure are based on finite-dimensional variational inequality theory. The numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the computational approach as well as the model.
