This chapter presents four categories of optimization models: spatial interaction models, network balancing models and multimodal multiproduct goods transport network planning models. Spatial interaction models are used to establish origin–destination demand matrices. Network balancing models are used to model the route choice on congested networks, while transit route choice models study the frequency of the service offered on public transport lines. Traffic assignment models were designed to describe the traffic flows formed by the users of a transport network, such as an urban road network. The models and methods presented in the chapter have a wide scope: they are applied to strategic planning problems on an international, national and regional scale, where the transportation of several products using the networks and services of several transporters are considered simultaneously.
