  This paper is concerned with the existence of the simultaneous
route-and-departure choice dynamic user equilibrium (SRDC-DUE) in continuous
time, first formulated as an infinite-dimensional variational inequality in
Friesz et al. (1993). In deriving our existence result, we employ the
generalized Vickrey model (GVM) introduced in and to formulate the underlying
network loading problem. As we explain, the GVM corresponds to a path delay
operator that is provably strongly continuous on the Hilbert space of interest.
Finally, we provide the desired SRDC-DUE existence result for general
constraints relating path flows to a table of fixed trip volumes without
invocation of a priori bounds on the path flows.
