Traffic Assignment Problem

The Traffic Assignment Problem involves determining how drivers choose routes within a transportation network to reach their destinations. It aims to predict how traffic will distribute across roads based on factors like travel times and congestion, ensuring that road capacities are respected. The goal is to find an equilibrium where no driver can improve their travel time by switching routes, helping planners understand traffic flow and identify where congestion may occur. This analysis assists in optimizing infrastructure and managing congestion for efficient and reliable transportation systems.
