A new link-nested logit model of route choice is presented. The model is derived as a particular case of the generalized-extreme-value class of discrete choice models. The model has a flexible correlation structure that allows for overcoming the route overlapping problem. The corresponding stochastic user equilibrium is formulated in two equivalent mathematical programming forms: as a particular case of the general Sheffi formulation and as a generalization of the logit-based Fisk formulation. A stochastic network loading procedure is proposed that obviates route enumeration. The proposed model is then compared with alternative assignment models by using numerical examples.
