RECENT ADVANCES IN TRANSPORTATION NETWORK MODELING

The large scale network models, such as the national rail network model (over 15,000 arcs) have been of limited utility because they are overly simplistic and very expensive to run. However some success has been obtained with models run on medium-sized networks, to provide solutions to improvement and optimization problems.
