Network Design Problem Oslo

From 2006 to 2008
In the NDP project for the Oslo region, TML developed a simplified representation of the transport network and demand to support a new transport plan. This included the integration of investment projects and financing options, such as road taxes and parking fines, and the development of an efficient algorithm.
The Network Design Problem (NDP) makes it possible to define the optimal investment programme and/or transport pricing plan with maximum social security. It takes into account the effects of the applied investment plan on both demand and supply of the transport system. As a result, the NDP has the structure of a bi-level mathematical problem. Its lower level represents the user equilibrium model for a given investment action and/or transport pricing policy, while the higher level consists of the transport planner responsible for investment decisions.
As part of the NDP project for the Oslo region, we set up a simplified representation of their transport network and related transport demand. This was linked to the design of the new transport plan for the next five years for Oslo, including various transport investment projects to be realised and the possibilities of financing them efficiently through e.g. road taxes and parking fines. The project team designed an efficient algorithm to solve the mathematical problem and apply it to the construction of the transport plan for Oslo and the surrounding area.
