Efficiency and Equity Effects of Electricity Metering: Evidence from Colombia
I show that provision of electricity meters leads to a large reduction in electricity consumption over the first four months following meter installation. This is consistent with previous overconsumption by unmetered users facing a zero marginal price. However, it also reflects underconsumption by metered customers paying a marginal price exceeding marginal cost. I quantify these welfare effect...
متن کاملMeasuring the Equity and Efficiency of Ramp Meters
The general purpose of this study is to develop both efficient and equitable freeway ramp control strategies. Measures of efficiency and equity for ramp meters are defined and applied to data collected in the Twin Cities ramp metering shut-off experiment. A trade-off between efficiency and equity is evident from the results of data analysis. A new time-dependent optimization program for the glo...
متن کاملCongestion, ramp metering and tolls.
The cell transmission model of a freeway is used to compare four congestion-reducing schemes: (R) ramp control only; (T) one lane is tolled and ramps are uncontrolled; (B) bottlenecks are tolled and ramps are uncontrolled; and (RB) ramps are controlled and bottlenecks are tolled. In the base case, ramps are uncontrolled and there are no tolls. It is found that (T) is inefficient and may leave a...
متن کاملRamp Metering in the Netherlands: an Overview
Dynamic traffic management is an important part of the Dutch transport policy. All kinds of measures have been implemented and assessed on the motorway network, such as the motorway traffic management system with speed limits and queue tail warning, ramp metering, variable message signs, dedicated lanes, peak lanes, incident management, etc. In this paper the focus is on ramp metering, which is...
متن کاملTECHNICAL NOTES Balancing Efficiency and Equity of Ramp Meters
An efficient ramp control strategy may not be politically attractive due to its negative impacts on equity. This paper addresses this issue and presents a new objective for ramp metering—minimizing weighted travel time—which is able to balance efficiency and equity. A quasioptimization/simulation approach is used to achieve the new objective. BEEX, a new family of control strategies with variou...
