CiudadSim Function

LogitMD - Logit equilibrium ( Markov Dial Method )

Calling Sequence

[F]=LogitMB(A,D,theta)

Parameters

Description

Compute the logit traffic assignment by the Markov method where on each road at each crossing we have to choose a link among the efficient links leaving this crossing excluding the ones comming back to the origine.

A Markov chain is defined by normalizing the following transition matrix Wij=exp(-theta (Lj+Aij-Li)) where Lj denotes the smallest travelling time from j to the destination of the considered demand defined only on the efficient links. The flow is assigned proportionnaly to the probability to use an arc before reaching the destination of the demand for the markov chain starting at the origine of the demand with a probability 1.

The graph must be strongly connected. If it is not the case we can add artificial arcs with large travel time in such a way that the new graph becomes strongly connected.
