Future research on urban transportation network modeling

The distribution of citations of five path‐breaking publications across regional science and transportation journals is examined to gauge whether RSUE was a significant player in the evolution of urban transportation network modeling research. Concluding this research area is pertinent to the journal, and research advances in transportation network equilibrium modeling are traced through five phases of development from its beginnings in the early 1950s. Then, the future of this research area is examined with regard to four issues: representation of congestion; tour‐based representation of travel; non‐separable travel time–flow relationships; and dynamic network flows.
