Some continuous network design problems (CNDPs) and discrete network design problems (DNDPs) are solved repeatedly until the optimal solution is obtained.

文摘An optimal dimension-down iterative algorithm (DDIA) is proposed for solving a mixed (continuous/ discrete) transportation network design problem (MNDP), which is generally expressed as a mathematical programming with equilibrium constraints (MPEC). The upper level of the MNDP aims to optimize the network performance via both the expansion of existing links and the addition of new candidate links, whereas the lower level is a traditional Wardrop user equilibrium (UE) model. The idea of the proposed DDIA is to reduce the dimensions of the problem. A group of variables (discrete/continuous) are fixed to altemately optimize another group of variables (continuous/discrete). Some continuous network design problems (CNDPs) and discrete network design problems (DNDPs) are solved repeatedly until the optimal solution is obtained. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
