Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measures compared to anonymous tolls. We then proceed by investigating the key issues regarding design and implementation of differentiated schemes. Designing an optimal differentiated pricing scheme can be computationally challenging. However, we develop effective methods for designing differentiated tolls by taking advantage of the problem's special structures and properties. We then show the performance of our methods by applying them on real-size networks. We also propose an innovative method to implement the new schemes that uses devices such as toll-tag readers and license-plate scanners, which have been broadly deployed for implementing anonymous tolls and for other traffic surveillance applications. We demonstrate that implementing differentiated tolls using this approach can be less costly, yet more effective than anonymous tolls. Finally, we address a privacy concern associated with implementation of differentiated tolls. This issue arises as collecting travel characteristics may encroach upon users' location privacy. We address this concern by an incentive program that is designed such that the users who are sensitive about their privacy can remain anonymous, while the ones comfortable with revealing their location will pay lower tolls.

Download or read book Road Pricing written by Georgina Santos and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-07-31 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic congestion affects towns and cities everywhere and in some places it is regarded as one of the most urgent and important problems in need of a solution. Road pricing is undoubtedly recognised as an effective traffic demand management tool. The recent London congestion charging scheme seems to be showing that public and political opposition is not insurmountable. Thus, the ghost that prevented the introduction of a policy supported by transport economists for over 80 years seems to have disappeared or at least, weakened.The book contains twelve papers useful to different types of audience, such as researchers and postgraduate students, civil servants, policy makers and consultants. The first part is mainly theoretical and concentrates on second-best congestion pricing including pricing in urban contexts, the impact on the performance of the road network, optimal locations and charge levels, dynamic aspects such as time variation of tolls, potential impacts of road pricing on costs and service quality of public transport buses, and efficiency costs and transport sector effects of different types of pricing when they guarantee a balanced budget per mode.The second part contains chapters that describe the schemes in place around the world such as Singapore, Norway, London, and the US. The volume is an update of the state of the art on the subject and the first one to have been written and appear after the London scheme was implemented and to contain an assessment of its preliminary impacts.
Book Synopsis Road Pricing: Theory, Empirical Assessment and Policy by : Börje Johansson
Download or read book Road Pricing: Theory, Empirical Assessment and Policy written by Börje Johansson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road pricing (tolls, etc.) as a means of generating revenue for infrastructure investment has become a major policy option in both Europe and North America. It can also be used as a policy in the management of traffic demand and flow, environmental objectives, and optimal resource allocation as regards the size of investments. Road pricing is assumed to be able to solve many problems simultaneously -- congestion control, pollution reduction, and investment financing. This volume assembles and assesses theoretical knowledge, empirical results and experiences of actual road pricing. In addition, the impact of new information technology on future policy formulation is considered.

Book Synopsis A Hierarchical Framework for Congestion Pricing of Transportation Networks by : Yingyan Lou
Download or read book A Hierarchical Framework for Congestion Pricing of Transportation Networks written by Yingyan Lou and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At some critical facilities, the toll scheme determined at the network level may be further adjusted in response to real-time traffic conditions. This dissertation focuses on developing pricing strategies for managed toll lanes. Adaptive tolls may be adopted in order to provide a superior free-flow travel service to the users of the toll lanes while maximizing the freeway's throughput. Two sensible and practically implementable approaches, one feedback and one self-learning, are proposed. The self-learning approach monitors conditions of the facility through both direct observation and real-time estimation, and learns recursively motorists' willingness to pay and short-term future demand by mining the traffic data from sensors. In determination of the tolls, a detailed modeling of drivers' lane-choice behavior and traffic dynamics is adopted to explicitly consider their impacts on the performance of the facility. In summary, based on practical considerations of pricing, robust time-of-day tolls are proposed for the entire network while adaptive tolls are advocated for special facilities. This composes a hierarchical congestion pricing framework for a transportation system. Feasibility of this framework is shown through discussions on its general inputs and concerns. Our investigation on the network-level robust pricing with boundedly rational user behavior and the facility-level traffic-responsive pricing of managed lanes demonstrates that the proposed hierarchical framework may be practical and promising for congestion mitigation.
Book Synopsis Exploring a New Congestion Pricing Concept by : U.s. Department of Transportation
Download or read book Exploring a New Congestion Pricing Concept written by U.s. Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In support of the U.S Department of Transportation's (DOT) National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America's Transportation Network, the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Office of Natural and Human Environment (HEPN) and Office of Transportation Management (HOTM) sought assistance from The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center to explore attitudes about congestion pricing.For this exploratory study, focus groups were convened in Northern Virginia and Philadelphia among the general public, business owners and managers, and owners and managers of shipping and transportation logistics firms. The purpose of these focus groups was to obtain feedback on a specific congestion pricing scenario and to better understand the public's concerns regarding congestion pricing. A secondary purpose was to learn more about how to communicate with the public on the topic of congestion pricing.
Book Synopsis Congestion Pricing in Traffic Control by : Marco D. Sheehan
Download or read book Congestion Pricing in Traffic Control written by Marco D. Sheehan and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congestion costs highway users billions of dollars every year. Although policymakers have adopted a variety of strategies for reducing or mitigating congestion, relatively little attention has been paid to policies to promote more efficient use of the highway system. One such policy is congestion pricing, under which drivers are charged a higher price for use of a highway at times or places with heavy traffic and a lower price in the opposite circumstances. This book explains how congestion pricing works, reviews the best available evidence on projects that make use of such pricing in order to assess the benefits and challenges of the approach, and discusses federal policy options for encouraging congestion pricing. Congestion pricing also can be linked to strategies to improve mobility by making alternatives to the private automobile, such as subways, buses or commuter rail service, more attractive during peak periods. The revenues generated by such pricing have sometimes been used to pay for improvements in public transportation systems. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The synthesis describes the experience of several foreign countries that have used road pricing, or congestion pricing, as a means to manage congestion. The synthesis contains dicussions of the policy, equity, and implementation issues associated with congestion pricing. Several of the schemes described were planned or implemented as methods to increase roadway funding rather than for congestion management, but have had the effect of changing travel patterns."--Avant-propos.
