Abstract: Abstract In this paper, an integrated economic activity and transportation equilibrium model is developed in which the interaction between the public and private sectors are explicitly represented by simultaneously minimizing transportation costs, production costs, and import and export costs. The assumed role of the public sector is to develop highways that connect import and export ports zones to the locations where the private sector produces most economically. In the proposed model, the optimum amounts and locations of production, interzonal traffic flows, and port volumes are determined.
