This research aimed further developments and synthesizing of the traffic equilibrium models that has been proposed so far. With the application of the theoretical models to the practical transportation planning process in mind, the research performed in termes of (1) extracting of problems involving in the conventional transportation equilibrium models and further developments of these models, (2) describing of problems including the optimal network design models in terms of the efficiency of caliculation and the applicability of the models to practical analysis, (3) synthesizing of scatting ideas and proposing the standard of how to make alternatives in transportation network planning, and (4) extracting and making clear of further research opportunities of the related fields such as land use, navigation systems of vehicle; reliability analysis of network so on, to the transportation planning process including of travel demand forecasting procedures.Conclusions of this research are (1) the analytical models that has been proposed so far and developed in this research, which are the transportation equilibrium models and optimal network design models, are sufficiently applicable to a practical transportation planning, and (2) as to constructing of a standard of how to make alternatives of transportation plans, it is very difficult to proposeat this theme because the lack of theory and the complexity of the problem.
