摘要
In this paper we present Ant Colony System for Traffic Assignment (ACS-TA) for the solution of deterministic and stochastic user equilibria (DUE and SUE, respectively) problems. DUE and SUE are two well known transportation problems where the transportation demand has to be assigned to an underlying network (supply in transportation terminology) according to single user satisfaction rather than aiming at some global optimum. ACS-TA turns the classic ACS meta-heuristic for discrete optimization into a technique for equilibrium computation. ACS-TA can be easily adapted to take into account all aspects characterizing the traffic assignment problem: multiple origin-destination pairs, link congestion, non-separable cost link functions, elasticity of demand, multiple classes of demand and different user cost models including stochastic cost perception. Applications to different networks, including a non-separable costs case study and the standard Sioux Falls benchmark, are reported. Results show good performance and wider applicability with respect to conventional approaches especially for stochastic user equilibrium computation.
