Inter-Regional Congestion Pricing Model Considering Emissions

Congestion Pricing: A Parking Queue Model

Drivers in urban neighborhoods who patrol streets, seeking inexpensive on-street parking create a significant fraction of measured traffic congestion. The pool of drivers patrolling at any time can be modeled as a queue, where ‘queue service’ is the act of parking in a recently vacated parking space and queue discipline is SIRO – Service In Random Order. We develop a queueing model of such driv...

Research on Urban Road Congestion Pricing Strategy Considering Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Congestion pricing strategy has been recognized as an effective countermeasure in the practical field of urban traffic congestion mitigation. In this paper, a bi-level programming model considering carbon dioxide emission is proposed to mitigate traffic congestion and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The objective function of the upper level model is to minimize the sum of travel costs and the ...

Congestion Pricing and Motor Vehicle Emissions: An Initial Review

Developing an urban congestion pricing model by considering sustainability improvement and using a multi-objective optimization approach

This paper introduces a Travel Demand Management (TDM) model in order to decrease the transportation externalities by affecting on passengers’travel choices. Thus, a bi-objective bi-modal optimization model for road pricing is developed aiming to enhance environmental and social sustainability by considering to minimize the air pollution and maximize the social welfare as its objectives. This m...

A Multi-Agent Congestion and Pricing Model

Congestion is a phenomenon caused by multiple interacting individuals (agents) seeking to use a temporally scarce resource (facility capacity) in a short period of time. On roads, where capacity is scarce relative to the demand that seeks to use it, the facility is called a bottleneck. The consequence of this interaction is queuing. This study applies a microscopic agent-based approach to under...
