This book analyzes Nash equilibrium and Wardropâs first principle in terms of driver behavior on traffic networks, focusing primarily on the relationship between user equilibrium and system optimum, a globally optimal solution that minimizes overall travel time. Expanding on recent findings that show user equilibrium is near-optimal, the author studies the impacts of introducing capacities to networks and compares the performance of user equilibria to constrained system optima, a more practical variation of system optimum. The author also explores conditions under which user equilibrium may be an inefficient solution and identifies classes of instances that have bad performance, ultimately demonstrating that despite these problems, the worst user equilibrium is still close to the system optimum. This book presents an essential study of user equilibrium and system optimum in traffic networks, providing valuable insights for transportation scientists, engineers, and urban planners seeking to optimize traffic flow and improve the efficiency of road networks.
