AN ASSIGNMENT PRINCIPLE FOR URBAN NETWORKS BASED ON TRAVEL BUDGETS
A new assignment principle for traveler behavior in an urban network is described which is based on empirical findings in the theory of travel budgets. It characterizes the distribution of travelers, demand, and modal split. It treats all travel decisions (whether to travel, where to go, how to get there) and the important costs (time and money) in a single, unified way. A numerical technique is proposed and it is applied to several examples to illustrate qualitative features. (Author/TRRL)
