Network routing has a great impact on the efficiency and reliability of the traffic network system in a real-world scenario. To date, achieving network-consistent performance is the main goal of many traffic network research studies. In this research, a mixed strategy game-theory model for network routing is proposed that discovers the optimal strategies that can be adopted by network route players in a network graph. This model has been validated by measuring the model outcomes using quantal response equilibrium (QRE) technique, which explores the players' noisy decisions by comparing the utilized optimal strategies with Nash equilibrium. The experimental results demonstrate that there is an equilibrium with a mixed strategy of a given network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
