An Algorithm for Traffic Equilibrium Flow with Capacity Constraints of Arcs

Abstract

In the traffic equilibrium problem, we introduce capacity constraints of arcs, extend Beckmann’s formula to include these constraints, and give an algorithm for traffic equilibrium flows with capacity constraints on arcs. Using an example, we illustrate the application of the algorithm and show that Beckmann’s formula is a sufficient condition only, not a necessary condition, for traffic equilibrium with capacity constraints of arcs.
