Algorithmic Game Theory and Transportation: A Survey
December 1, 2009

It is well know that we cannot engineer our way out of traffic congestion by building new roads. 
In fact, expanding the road network may paradoxically attract new traffic, and increase gridlock. 
Andreas Schulz provides a mathematical explanation for this conundrum.

"In the nature of creativity . . . is the role of accident. I do firmly believe that a lot of the 
best ideas . . . feel very accidental in the sense that they emerge from continually trying to 
reconfigure the problem. "
