TEMPORAL EXPANSION OF A TRANSPORTATION NETWORK--2

The problem of optimal timing of investments in the capacity of transportation networks is extended, under the assumption that all costs and usage-capacity relations are linear, to include an equilibrium relation between usage and capacity. It is shown that equilibrium usages can be computed by inverting a certain matrix whose dimension equals the number of arcs of the network. Simple rules are given that solve the optimal timing problem.
