Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Question 3 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In a transportation network, what is the tragedy of the commons?

  1. A situation where a shared resource is overused and depleted because each individual user has an incentive to use the resource as much as possible.
  2. A situation where a shared resource is underused because each individual user has an incentive to conserve the resource.
  3. A situation where a shared resource is used efficiently because each individual user has an incentive to cooperate with the other users.
  4. A situation where a shared resource is used inefficiently because each individual user has an incentive to act against the other users.

Question 5 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In a transportation network, what is the Braess's paradox?

  1. A paradox where adding a new road to a network can actually increase the travel time for some drivers.
  2. A paradox where adding a new road to a network can actually decrease the travel time for all drivers.
  3. A paradox where adding a new road to a network can actually have no effect on the travel time for any drivers.
  4. A paradox where adding a new road to a network can actually increase the travel time for all drivers.
Question 6 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In a logistics network, what is the Stackelberg game?

  1. A game where one player moves first and the other player moves second, and the first player's strategy affects the second player's payoff.
  2. A game where both players move simultaneously and each player's payoff depends on the strategy of the other player.
  3. A game where both players move sequentially and each player's payoff depends on the strategy of the other player.
  4. A game where both players move simultaneously and each player's payoff does not depend on the strategy of the other player.

  3. A state where the total travel time is minimized.
  4. A state where the total cost of transportation is minimized.
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In a logistics network, what is the Bertrand game?

  1. A game where two or more players compete on price and each player's profit depends on the price of the other player.
  2. A game where two or more players compete on quantity and each player's profit depends on the quantity of the other player.
