A Sample Scheme of Cordon-Based Congestion Charge: Erzurum, Cumhuriyet Street

Confidence Intervals for Lower Quantiles Based on Two-Sample Scheme

In this paper, a new two-sampling scheme is proposed to construct appropriate confidence intervals for the lower population quantiles. The confidence intervals are determined in the parametric and nonparametric set up and the optimality problem is discussed in each case. Finally, the proposed procedure is illustrated via a real data set. 

A Cordon Charge for the District of Columbia: a Solution to Dc’s Fiscal Problems and the Region’s Congestion?

This paper investigates a solution to an existing federal policy which prohibits the District of Columbia (DC) from imposing commuter taxes on non-residents, a tool which other cities in the US use to address revenue problems associated with high numbers of non-resident workers. DC, which has higher local governance costs per capita than its surrounding suburbs, must impose higher income tax ra...

Simultaneous determination of optimal toll locations and toll levels in cordon-based congestion pricing problem

The congestion pricing has been discussed as a practical tool for traffic management on urban transport networks. The traffic congestion is defined as an external diseconomy on the network in transport economics. It has been proposed that the congestion pricing would be used to reduce the traffic on the network. This paper investigates the cordon-based second-best congestion-pricing problems on...

Variational inequality model for cordon-based congestion pricing under side constrained stochastic user equilibrium conditions

A major objective of the practical implemented cordon-based congestion pricing schemes is to maintain the traffic conditions within the cordon area, which is rarely considered in most of the existing studies. Thus, this paper addresses the optimal toll charge pattern that can restrict the total inbound flow of each cordon to a predetermined threshold. The toll charges on all the entry links of ...
