Abstract Three alternative definitions of traffic equilibrium are compared in terms of the mechanisms of route-choice inherent in them. These definitions are the usual Wardrop equilibrium and user-optimised ones and a new one. Conditions on the cost function are established under which the Wardrop definition is equivalent to each of the other two. Some circumstances are identified in which these conditions are satisfied. A detailed discussion is given of an example in which these conditions are not satisfied and the three definitions are not equivalent.
