Abstract: Abstract Infrastructure systems for generalized transportation – such as goods, passengers and water – take the form of networks. These networks typically have interdependencies which are not addressed in engineering practice. In order to make efficient policy regarding an infrastructure system, the impacts of that policy on other interdependent infrastructure systems must be understood. The combination of the different layers of the interconnected infrastructure network may be thought of as a system of systems representing the grand infrastructure system. Users of the system of systems may be thought of as agents competing for the limited capacities of the network layers. Dynamic game theory is a natural method for modeling systems of systems in an effort to make better infrastructure decisions. However, to be of use, these models must be computable and thus some different solution techniques for general equilibrium models are discussed.
