The optimization of transport network design belongs to the area of non-linear optimization and mathematical programming within the field of Operations Research. The elegant inclusion of Traffic Simulation Methods within the Network Design Problem improves modeling realism, in terms of actual human travel behavior, for purposes of regional development analysis. Actual evaluation of existing and widely recognized traffic simulation methods, in real large-sparse transport networks, is presented in this paper.
