The equivalence of Transfer and generalized Benders decomposition methods for traffic assignment

In prior work the authors have given a intuitive development of Transfer Decomposition, a decomposition of the traffic assignment problem into two traffic assignment problems. The intent of this paper is to provide a rigorous basis for this technique by establishing that it is a generalized Benders decomposition. As an illustration of the result, the authors give a decomposition algorithm that is based on the familiar Frank-Wolfe method.
