Transportation network applications Chapter | 16 181transportation, the assessment of traffic capacity and the assessment of what-if
scenarios that examine changes to existing infrastructure and instruments. The
analysis of transportation networks and systems may be of medium or long-
term nature when it refers to the network design, or of short-term nature when it
refers to the daily operation of existing intelligent transportation systems.
