| Abstract: | Two algorithms are presented for assigning time-varying traffic demand to a road network during peak period. The algorithms are heuristics based on the principle of deterministic equilibrium, and they are iterative. Discrete time approach is adopted for computational simplicity. The model presented is suitable for simulating traffic flow in a road network during peak period in urban areas for strategic planning of transport systems. |
