| Abstract | The hybrid optimization problem is formulated to provide a general theoretical framework for the analysis of a class of traffic control problems which takes into account the role of individual drivers as independent decisionmakers. Different behavioral models for flow distribution are examined. Necessary conditions for this problem are derived, and a physical interpretation of these conditions is provided. Possible directions for the development of algorithms applicable for solving large-scale hybrid optimization problems are proposed. A procedure for computing the upper and lower bounds of the optimal cost of the hybrid optimization problem is outlined. |
