Most stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) model applications reported in the literature are based on the multinomial logit (MNL) model. This paper presents a SUE assignment based on the cross-nested logit (CNL) route choice model, which can better represent route choice behavior. The paper develops path-based algorithms to solve the CNL-SUE problem based on adaptation of the disaggregate simplicial decomposition method. The algorithms differ for the step-size determination; three different methods are considered. The algorithms are tested in two well-known networks. Two main tests are conducted: (a) the impact of the CNL model parameters on the assignment results is analyzed and (b) the differences between the CNL-SUE and the MNL-SUE solutions are investigated. The results indicate that the path-based algorithm with Armijo's step-size rule outperforms other step-size determinations. This paper indicates that depending on the model parameters, particularly the nesting coefficient, the CNL-SUE path flows may be quite different from the MNL-SUE path flows.
