In order to design the traffic network more accurately, the bi-level programming model for the continuous network design problem based on the paired combinatorial Logit stochastic user equilibrium model is proposed in this study. In the model, the paired combinatorial Logit stochastic user equilibrium model which is used to characterize the route choice behaviors of the users is adopted in the ...

Usually, selection of a highway alignment depends on an economical route that minimizes alignment sensitive costs, such as construction cost, user cost, right-of-way cost, and earthwork cost. Most of the available highway alignment optimization algorithms do not consider traffic assignment and distribution of traffic as a result of the new road network consisting of the new alignment as well as...

Equilibrium traffic assignment models exist to deal with a range of observational uncertainties. Perhaps the most well known is the stochastic user equilibrium model, incorporating random perceptual terms to represent components of drivers’ disutility that are not explained through observed attributes (Sheffi, 1985). The uncertainty represented by such a model is from the viewpoint of the model...
