Measuring Marginal Congestion Costs of Urban Transportation: Do Networks Matter?
In determining the marginal cost of congestion, economists have traditionally relied upon directly measuring traffic congestion on network links, disregarding any “network effects,” since the latter are difficult to estimate. While for simple networks the comparison can be done within a theoretical framework, it is important to know whether such network effects in real large-scale networks are ...
متن کاملEstimating Urban Road Congestion Costs
Economists wishing to analyse road congestion and road pricing have usually relied on linkbased speed-flow relationships. These may provide a poor description of urban congestion, which mainly arises from delays at intersections. Using the simulation model SATURN, we investigate the second-best proportional traffic reduction and find that linear speed-flow relations describe network flows quite...
متن کاملMeasuring Urban Traffic Congestion – a Review
Trac congestion has been one of major issues that most metropolises are facing. It is believed that identi cation of congestion is the rst step for selecting appropriate mitigation measures. Congestion both in perception and in reality impacts the movement of people. Trac congestion wastes time, energy and causes pollution. ere are broadly two factors, which e±ect the congestion; (a) micro-le...
متن کاملDemand and Congestion in Multiplex Transportation Networks
Urban transportation systems are multimodal, sociotechnical systems; however, while their multimodal aspect has received extensive attention in recent literature on multiplex networks, their sociotechnical aspect has been largely neglected. We present the first study of an urban transportation system using multiplex network analysis and validated Origin-Destination travel demand, with Riyadh's ...
متن کاملDo Costs of Robotic Surgery Matter?
Although robots began as theoretical constructs devised from science fiction novels, they soon became a reality in the automobile industry in 1958 when general Motors introduced the Unimate to assist production (1). Since then robots have been used in a variety of applications including many industrial tasks, and deep-sea and space exploration (2). The first concept of surgical robotics was dev...
