New transportation planning method revolutionizes market equilibrium concept.
Transportation planning usually focuses on market equilibrium, but this doesn't reflect real-world conditions. A new approach called disequilibrium transportation planning has been introduced. This method considers the fact that transportation markets are often in a state of imbalance. By analyzing price and quantity regulations, researchers have shown that market disequilibrium exists. They have also developed a model that combines both equilibrium and disequilibrium scenarios. Additionally, a concept called disequilibrium degree has been introduced to forecast traffic demand more accurately. The principles of macroeconomics disequilibrium theory have been applied to user route choices, resulting in a more comprehensive behavior principle.
