Thesis 183, 2009Description: 112 sSubject(s): Online resources: Bibl.nr: VTI P1492:183Location: Dissertation note: Examensarbete Abstract: This report intends to assess the demand for urban transport and how it can be managed by using congestion pricing and other measures in order to reduce congestion. Four cities are assessed: London, Singapore and Stockholm with congestion pricing schemes and Milan with a scheme primarily designed to reduce pollution. The areas assessed are: the initial conditions in the city, scheme design, traffic impact, how possible concerns have been addressed and the implementation process of the schemes. The key findings from the case studies will be used to contribute to the discussion regarding a potential road pricing scheme in Auckland, New Zealand.Examensarbete
