Computational Methods for Congestion Toll Pricing Models

چکیده
In earlier work a toll pricing framework for congestion pricing has been developed for both fixed and elastic demand traffic assignment models as an alternative to traditional marginal social cost pricing. Within the framework it is possible to define alternative objectives such as minimizing toll costs, minimizing the number of toll booths, etc. This paper will report the results of recent computational experiments on methods designed for various toll pricing

Application of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm Techniques to Solve Bi-level Congestion Pricing Problems
The solutions used to solve bi-level congestion pricing problems are usually based on heuristic network optimization methods which may not be able to find the best solution for these type of problems. The application of meta-heuristic methods can be seen as viable alternative solutions but so far, it has not received enough attention by researchers in this field. Therefore, the objective of thi...
متن کاملEvaluating the Willingness to Pay for Urban Congestion Priced Zones (Case Study of Tehran)
Congestion pricing is one of the major travel demand management policies to reduce traffic volumes in metropolitans. One of the main factors for effective implementation of this policy is to analyze users' response to different toll rates. In this paper, the willingness of users to pay for using their personal cars is evaluated. The stated preference method was applied for data gathering. Sever...
متن کاملSolving Congestion Toll Pricing Models
Recently a methodology for tra c networks has been developed which extracts congestion toll sets such that the tolled user equilibrium is system optimal. Properties of toll sets, such as convexity, are investigated, as well as relationships with other problems. For a given toll set, various objectives can be de ned and optimized with respect to the tolls. Examples include minimizing the total t...
متن کاملInvestigating on the Effects of Congestion Pricing on Increasing Public Transit Share
Nowadays, traffic management policy in metropolitans is focused on increasing the share of public transit. The limitation of supply and slowing growth of road infrastructures have provided congestion for users who choose personal cars. Therefore, applying demand management policies which decrease the utility of personal cars and increase the tendency to public transit can be very important. Con...
