Network Modeling 2010, Volume 1

TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2196 contains 19 papers that explore a new algorithm for the static user equilibrium traffic assignment problem, evacuation network modeling, multiobjective optimization for multimodal evacuation, constructing transit origin-destination tables from fragmented data, the impact of variations in travel demand and network supply factors for evacuation studies, optimal refueling station location and supply planning for hurricane evacuation, optimal zone-based vehicle evacuation strategy, and noisy genetic algorithm for stochastic.

This issue of the TRR also examines time-varying minimum time network flow problem, algorithm for determining most reliable travel time path, generating origin-destination matrices from mobile phone trajectories, heuristic for continuous network design using radial basis functions, maximum entropy method for subnetwork origin-destination trip matrix estimation, identification of competing and feeder links and routes in a toll road context, traffic rationing and short-term and long-term equilibrium, applying a structured dispersion parameter to a multiclass stochastic user equilibrium assignment model, minimizing patient transport times during mass population evacuations, communicating evacuation information to vulnerable populations, route change decision making by hurricane evacuees facing congestion, and biologically inspired modeling approach for collective pedestrian dynamics under emergency conditions.
