Transportation Systems Analysis

The objective of this course is to provide students with an understanding of how travel demand is assignment to the roadway network. The course starts with unconstrained and constrained optimization techniques. The concept of equilibrium and elementary approaches (e.g., all-or-nothing and incremental) to travel demand assignment will be discussed. Classic UE and SU problems will then be put forward. If time permits, some extensions of UE (e.g., OD estimation, stochastic assignment, and joint estimation) will also be presented.
