In this chapter, we move on to investigate the road pricing problem with extended multi-class
equilibrium behaviors in the transportation networks introduced in Chapter 2. We begin our …

Road pricing is now being advocated as an efficient means of managing traffic demand and
of meeting other objectives, such as reducing the environmental impact of road traffic and …

The authors explore the properties of various types of public and private pricing on a
congested road network, with heterogeneous users, and allowing for elastic demand. The …

Traffic congestion pricing is studied using a general-equilibrium framework that incorporates
public goods expenditures, an income tax, a government budget constraint, and preferences …

In this paper, the effect of congestion tolls upon the pattern of traffic flows is examined.
Congestion tolls influence the individual commuter's decision of when to make a trip …

The recent worldwide tendency towards the introduction of commercially and privately
provided roads proves to be efficient for building and operating road systems. One of the …

Parts I and II together presents a conceptual framework for road pricing based on a rigorous
diagrammatic—but non-mathematical—framework derived from first (economic) principles. It …

It is well known that in the standard traffic network equilibrium model with a single value of
time (VOT) for all users, a so-called marginal-cost toll can drive a user equilibrium flow …

Most previous theoretical arguments on congestion pricing are based on the fundamental
economic principle of marginal-cost pricing, and are entirely concerned with abstract travel …

Some road-pricing demonstrations use “value pricing,” in which travelers can choose
between a free but congested roadway and a priced roadway. Recent research has …
