THE CONTINUOUS EQUILIBRIUM OPTIMAL NETWORK DESIGN PROBLEM: A GENETIC APPROACH

A genetic algorithm (GA) program for providing a solution to the Continuous Equilibrium Network Design Problem (NDP) is introduced following a general discussion of the network design problem and genetic algorithms. A description of the current GA operators used in the program are described and early preliminary results shown. While the program is in its early stages of development the results have been encouraging and so further development is planned utilizing more of the characteristics of the continuous NDP to reduce the computational burden.
