The challenge is to properly identify and implement the appropriate IVHS concepts and control
precedence sequences that will facilitate full integration of IVHS technology into existing
multimodal networks systems. The purpose of this paper is to provide a basis for implementing
“Multimodal Transport Network Systems Interface, Interaction Algorithms” for structuring Real
Time Response and Control Systems, and investigate other potential applications in passenger
and public transportation.
The problem considered is a nonlinear optimization type with transportation constraints. Such
problems appear in several areas of applications, mainly in logistics and transportation systems.
A significant body of literature exists on the solution of linear transportation problems. For an
early account, see [4]. For later works, see [5-71.
