THE EXISTENCE OF AN EQUILIBRIUM SOLUTION TO THE TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM WHEN THERE ARE JUNCTION INTERACTIONS

We consider a network with interactions and capacity constraints at each junction. We give conditions on the interactions and constraints which, if satisfied at each separate junction, ensure that any feasible assignment problem has an equilibrium solution. Two illustrative examples are provided; the first arises naturally and does not satisfy our conditions, while the second does satisfy our conditions but is somewhat unnatural. (Author/TRRL)
