Towards Optimal Locations and Toll Levels in Congestion Pricing Schemes Ekstrom, Joakim ; Engelson, Leonid ; Rydergren, Clas
Utgivningsinformation: Bryssel ITS in daily life: 16th world congress and exhibition on intelligent transport systems and services, Stockholm 21-25 September 2009. Paper, 2009Beskrivning: 12 sÄmnen: Bibl.nr: VTI P1835:16 [World]Location: Abstrakt: This paper addresses the problem of designing a road congestion pricing scheme with link tolls. The problem involves decisions on where to locate the toll collecting facilities and what tolls to charge the road users. The paper will formulate this problem as a bi-level program, with the objective to maximize the net social surplus, which include the cost of setting up and operate the toll collection system. A previously developed heuristic method is applied to find close to optimal toll locations and charges for a traffic network representing the Stockholm region. The result is compared with the current congestion pricing scheme in Stockholm.| Aktuellt bibliotek | Status | |
