In most dynamic traffic congestion models, congestion tolls must vary continuously over time
to achieve the full optimum. This is also the case in Vickrey (1969)'bottleneck model'. To …

We consider toll systems designed to alleviate queueing problems that result from a road
bottleneck. Optimal road pricing is capable of eliminating queueing time completely, but has …

Most dynamic models of congestion pricing use fully time-variant tolls. However, in practice,
tolls are uniform over the day, or at most have just a few steps. Such uniform and step tolls …

This paper analyses optimal coarse tolling of congestion under heterogeneous preferences,
and in particular its welfare and distributional effects. With coarse tolling, the toll equals a …

The gradually accelerating pace at which tolls are being implemented or actively considered
around the world suggests that road pricing is an idea whose time may finally have come …

Much of the road pricing literature has focused on deriving second-best optimal tolls when
only parts of a network can be tolled or tolling is constrained in other ways. A drawback of …

Considering heterogeneous values of time and schedule delay early, in this paper we
develop an ordinary differential equation formulation of the bottleneck model without …

When analysing the effects of transport policies it is important to adequately control for
heterogeneity: previous studies note that ignoring heterogeneity biases the estimated …

This paper investigates the step tolling problem in an activity-based bottleneck model in
which activity scheduling utilities of commuters at home and at work vary by the time of day …

A growing literature exploits macroscopic theories of traffic to model congestion pricing
policies in downtown zones. This study introduces trip length heterogeneity into this analysis …
