Simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation algorithm for solving stochastic problems of transportation network analysis: performance evaluation

EE Ozguven, K Ozbay - Transportation research record, 2008 - journals.sagepub.com
Stochastic optimization has become one of the important modeling approaches in
transportation network analysis. For example, for traffic assignment problems based on
stochastic simulation, it is necessary to use a mathematical algorithm that iteratively seeks
out the optimal, the suboptimal solution, or both, because an analytical (closed-form)
objective function is not available. Therefore, efficient stochastic approximation algorithms
that can find optimal or suboptimal solutions to these problems are needed. The method of …
