CONVERGENCE OF CERTAIN TRAFFIC AND LAND-USE EQUILIBRIUM ASSIGNMENT MODELS

In this paper are described and tested three heuristic algorithms for finding the solution to highly complex land-use models that incorporate the effects of traffic congestion. Two of the algorithms are modifications of Evans's algorithm for elastic-demand traffic assignment. The third algorithm is a variation of incremental assignment that is closely related to Frank-Wolfe decomposition. These algorithms are applied to an elaborate implementation of the Lowry-Garin model of land use. Tests of these algorithms show that they all converge toward a predetermined, precise solution, and they do so at a rate that is similar to Frank-Wolfe decomposition. (Author/TRRL)
