Periodic equilibrium oscillations in the diffusion processes of transport innovations

Summary - It often happens that the introduction of an innovation in the transport world is not accompanied by the adjustment of its characteristics to the increase in its utilizations, and that causes congestion. While the progressive adjustment of the characteristics would give rise to an evolution over time that follows the S curve typical of innovations, the failure to adjust causes the interruption of this evolution giving rise to another evolution, which departs from the first when the congestion level becomes unacceptable by users, and reaches, after a period of transition, an equilibrium state represented by a series of periodic oscillations around an average value somewhat less than the asymptotic value of the S curve.
