16.2.2 Network operation applications

When designing transportation networks it is important to identify the key perfor-
mance indicators (KPIs) that guarantee a successful operation and the long-term
objectives related to a continuous improvement of services and an optimization
subject to given constraints. The applications may include the study of traf-
fic characteristics of transportation networks that combine multiple means of
