[pt] A presente dissertação pretende proporcionar ao planejador de transportes parâmetros e informações necessárias para implementar nos pacotes TransCAD e EMME/2 uma alocação de tráfego em equilíbrio, visando o ótimo do usuário (UE). Sendo utilizadas no pacote EMME/2, as funções volume-tempo de viagem: BPR e Cônicas. Além disso, visa mostrar as vantagens e desvantagens do desempenho de cada pacote, baseando-se num estudo de caso na cidade de Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. / [en] The purpose of this thesis is to show the necessary information and parameters to the transportation planner, in order to implement and perform the User Equilibrium Traffic Assignment (UE) on following softwares: TransCAD and EMME/2. In the software EMME/2 the travel delay functions BPR and Conic are used. This document also illustrate the vantage and disadvantages of the performance of each software, this based on Ciudad JuáreChihuahua México as a case. / [es] La presente disertación pretende proporcionar al planeador de transportes, parámetros e informaciones necesarias para implementar, en los paquetes TransCAD y EMME/2 una ubicación de tránsito en equilibrio, buscando el óptimo del usuário (UE).

The use of MEPLAN by the Metropolitan Transport Planning Branch of the Cape Town City Council since 1984 was not successful due to apartheid anomalies. EMME/2 was then introduced in 1991 in replacement of MEPLAN. The strengths and weaknesses of both MEPLAN and EMME/2 are recorded in this study.

MSc (Mathematics and Applied Mathematics) / The use of MEPLAN by the Metropolitan Transport Planning Branch of the Cape Town City Council since 1984 was not successful due to apartheid anomalies. EMME/2 was then introduced in 1991 in replacement of MEPLAN. In this thesis we first introduce some aspects of transport modelling. Secondly we summarize the above-mentioned models before we undertake their comparative study in a post-apartheid situation. A mathematical proof of why MEPLAN was discarded is provided. The strengths and weaknesses of both MEPLAN and EMME/2 are recorded. / South Africa
