This article describes possible improvements for the simultaneous multi-stage transport model code for speeding up computations and improving the model detailing. The model consists of two blocks, where the first block is intended to calculate the correspondence matrix, and the second block computes the equilibrium distribution of traffic flows along the routes. The first block uses a matrix of transport costs that calculates a matrix of correspondences. It describes the costs (time in our case) of travel from one area to another. The second block presents how exactly the drivers (agents) are distributed along the possible paths. So, knowing the distribution of the flows along the paths, it is possible to calculate the cost matrix. Equilibrium in a two-stage traffic flow model is a fixed point of a sequence of the two described models. Thus, in this paper we report an attempt to influence the calculation speed of Dijkstra’s algorithm part of the model. It is used to calculate the shortest path from one point to another, which should be re-calculated after each iteration of the flow distribution part. We also study and implement the road pricing in the model code, as well as we replace the Sinkhorn algorithm in the calculation of the correspondence matrix part with its faster implementation. In the beginning of the paper, we provide a short theoretical overview of the transport modelling motivation; we discuss current approaches to the modelling and provide an example for demonstration of how the whole cycle of multi-stage transport modelling works.
