}We consider the general traffic equilibrium network model where the travel cost on each link of the transportation network may depend on the flow on this as well as other links of the network. The model has been designed in order to handle situations where there is interaction between traffic on different links e.g., two-way streets, intersections or between different modes of transportation on the same link. For this model, we use the techniques of the theory of variational inequalities to…

The delicate question of predicting the direction of the change in the traffic pattern and the incurred travel costs resulting from changes in the travel cost functions and travel demands is focused on and certain counter intuitive phenomena such as ‘Braess' paradox’ are elucidated.

It is shown that this model is also capable of handling the case of several classes of users in the same transportation network each of which has an individual cost function and, at the same time, contributes to its own and other classes' cost functions in an individual way.
