This work presents the process of modeling a transportation network by making use of object oriented programming (OOP). OOP is the new paradigm in software development. Its utilization aims to the development of software with increasing flexibility, productivity and efficiency, exploring the characteristics of inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation. The OOP concepts were implemented in a computer program. This program makes the flow assignment on a transportation network, while searching for the user minimum cost, following the first Wardrop principle. The Frank and Wolfe algorithm is applied to solve the problem.
