Abstract
This chapter deals with equilibrium traffic models for traffic flows. In the first section we introduce the basic assumptions common to all equilibrium traffic models; then, in the second section, we show how to construct the solution to the related Riemann problems. In the final section we discuss the drawbacks of the equilibrium traffic models.
