Book excerpt: This thesis employs traditional and new approaches to analyze properties of transportation systems under uncertainty and their effect on the various stages to transportation management; i.e., strategic, tactical, operational and real-time. Numerous pertinent problems are presented or extended to account for dynamics and uncertainty such as the network design problem, dynamic traffic assignment, centralized guidance, and the online shortest path problem. Analytical formulations are developed to describe system properties, and solution algorithms are presented to model transport systems under the stated conditions and, ultimately, to improve the performance of the transportation network.
