Question 1

What does User Equilibrium ensure?

  • No driver can reduce their travel costs by changing routes
  • All drivers take the same route
  • There are no congestions in the model

💡 Hint: Focus on the definition of the principle at hand.

Question 2

Wardrop's principle states that:

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Try to recall who proposed the principle.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a simplified urban scenario, you have two parallel routes from A to B with respective flow functions. Apply UE principles to model the flows and calculate the optimal route allocations between the two paths.

💡 Hint: Remember to apply the flow conservation and the conditions of User Equilibrium.

Question 2

Given a network where you know the travel time functions for several routes, use a nonlinear programming approach similar to Frank-Wolfe to confirm User Equilibrium for these paths. Report final route costs.

💡 Hint: Review the initial steps of the optimization process we discussed.
