Modelling Dynamic Urban Road Networks Performance under Congestion Pricing Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of modern information systems able to process real-time data concerning the traffic state network-wide is making possible the implementation of new forms of strategies concerning urban transportation networks management. The success of the implementation of such strategies is heavily depended on the detailed design of them. In the current study, an evaluation framework of the application of a congestion pricing strategy based on the marginal travel cost is presented, able to identify the dynamic impact of congestion pricing on the performance of the system, by taking into consideration behavioral characteristics of multiple user classes. This framework builds on tactics of variable road congestion pricing, based on theories of stochastic optimal control.

Rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. In the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. With traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. Four s...

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...

This paper describes the development and implementation of a dynamic congestion pricing scheme, augmented with a game-theoretic evolutionary learning model, into a realistic urban highway in Athens, Greece. The model recognizes several important behavioral features related to the response of users to the congestion pricing strategy. Such features include day-to-day as well as within-day adjustm...
متن کاملStochastic Congestion Pricing among Multiple Regions: Competition and Cooperation
Previous studies of road congestion pricing problem assume that transportation networks are managed by a central administrative authority with an objective of improving the performance of the whole network. In practice, a transportation network may be comprised of multiple independent local regions with relative independent objectives. In this paper, we investigate the cooperative and competiti...
