EFFECT OF ROAD PRICING ON TRAFFIC VOLUME AND TOLL REVENUE IN GRID NETWORK

This paper proposes an analytical model for analyzing the effect of road pricing in a grid network. The is based on continuous approximation where origins and destinations are uniformly distributed travel demand expressed as exponential function cost. Analytical expressions traffic volume toll area revenue obtained rectangular city with demonstrate how size shape level affect revenue. explicitly considers through, inward, outward, traffic, thus allowing us to assess each separately. Comparisons between cordon radial-arc networks show that superior reducing easier network than
