A prototype system designed for the equilibrium analysis of regional multimodal transportation systems is described, and the system is used to analyze an aggregated representation of air, rail and private automobile travel in the Northeast Corridor. The system has been designed to illustrate the importance and usefulness of applying the equilibrium approach to transportation systems analysis. The theoretical framework of this approach is, therefore, presented as an introduction. Many concepts arising from urban transportation planning methodology have been incorporated into the prototype system. For this reason, urban transportation is presented as a particular approximation of the equilibrium approach. (Author)
