Two Perspectives for Considering Traffic
- Traffic Maximization. Finds the maximal demand that a network can
support considering its transport supply (1). Traffic maximization concerns
engineers especially for simulations of maximal capacity of a transport system.
It is also important to the planning of new transport systems. Traffic maximization
establishes the operational capacity of networks, that is what amount of traffic
they can handle under specific conditions.
- Costs Minimization. Affects a demand at minimal costs considering
the transport supply (2). It concerns operators of transport systems for the
management of their networks, since they are concerned about how a service can
be offered, and this at a minimal cost.
