1. Road construction is going on Riccarton Road. 100 Uber drivers want to drop their passengers at the

travelling through Riccarton Road is $10 (additional fuel required due to slow traffic), while the Blenheim
Road route has a low fuel cost (theoretically let's assume $0) but takes more time to reach the airport. In
deciding on a route, each driver cares only about income, denoted i, and his travel time, denoted t (where

her profit (income - cost of travelling, including travel time). Assume that each driver has same income of
$500. If m drivers are on Riccarton Road, the travel time for a driver on Riccarton Road is assumed to be

Road is 2m (again, in dollars). Drivers make…
