Abstract
This dissertation is concerned with a discussion of various
aspects of traffic assignment and the writing and development of a
computer programme to investigate the effects of some of the factors
influencing the solutions given by certain capacity restrained
assignment techniques.
A short review of the planning process is followed by a survey
of modern traffic assignment processes with particular reference to
capacity restrained methods, and a discussion of factors affecting
these solutions. A detailed discussion of the assessment of the
convergence of capacity restrained methods is included. Programmes
are written to allow the use of three different loading methods and
three different speed/flow relationships in the investigation of the
approach to a solution of three different capacity restrained methods
as indicated by five different measures of convergence.
Suggestions are made for the development of the programmes and
areas in which they may be used for further research into the functioning
of capacity restrained traffic assignment techniques.
