Popis: The optimization of traffic flow in congested urban road networks faces a well-known dilemma: Optimizing system performance is unfair with respect to the individual drivers’ travel times; and a fair user equilibrium may result in bad system performance. As a remedy, computing a system optimum with fairness conditions, realized by length constraints on the routes actually used by drivers, has been suggested in [5]. This poses interesting mathematical challenges, namely the nonlinearity of the objective function and the necessity to deal with path constraints in large networks. While the authors present results suggesting that solutions to this constrained system optimum problem (CSO) are indeed equally good and fair, they rely on a standard Frank-Wolfe/Partan-algorithm to obtain them.
