Problem 2 Maximum Flow Problem

Consider the north-south interstate highway system passing through Cincinnati,


Ohio. The north-south vehicle flow reaches a level of 15,000 vehicles per hour at
peak times. Due to a summer highway maintenance program, which calls a for the
temporary closing of lanes and lower speed limits, a network alternative routes
through Cincinnati has been proposed by a transportation planner committee. The
alternative routes include other highways as well as city streets.
Because of differences in speed limits and traffic patterns, flow capacities vary,
depending on the particular streets and roads used. The proposed network with arc
flow capacities is shown in Figure 2.
The direction of flow for each arc is indicated, and the arc capacity is shown next
to each arc. Note that most of the streets are one-way. However, a two-way
street can be found between nodes 2 and 3 and between node 5 and 6. In both
cases, the capacity is the same in each direction.
