Congestion Pricing for Congestion Avoidance
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the use of Congestion Pricing as a means of providing Congestion Control and Di erentiated Quality of Service. The application of the proposed technique to the Internet Protocol has the advantage that it can be simply implemented using Explicit Congestion Noti cation. In particular: the network mechanism is independent of higher level protocols; the end systems can continue to exhibit current TCP behaviours; new multiprotocol exibility is made available to end systems and users. Architectural issues are discussed, including important aspects of aggregation and charging. We describe our methodology for assessing the scheme via a distributed network simulator. Initial results are presented which compare and contrast various adaptive strategies that achieve a variable range of TCP-like behaviours.

Strategies to Overcome Network Congestion in Infrastructure Systems
Networked Infrastructure systems deliver services and/or products from point to point along the network. Demand for the services provided by such systems is typically cyclic, creating inefficiencies in capacity utilization. Congestion pricing provides incentives to shift demand from peak time periods to lower demand periods. This effectively increases the capacity of the system without the need...
متن کاملUrban Vehicle Congestion Pricing: A Review
Drivers in urban neighborhoods who cruise streets, seeking inexpensive on-street parking create a significant fraction of measured traffic congestion. The solution to this problem is to reduce the total traffic volume including cruising traffic by implementing a congestion pricing scheme: the imposition of a usage fee on a limited-capacity resource during times of high demand. We review the his...
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...
متن کاملCongestion 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...
متن کاملApplication 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 کاملThe Design of a Bandwidth Management and Pricing Proxy
The authors present a precedence based bandwidth management and pricing proxy server for controlling Internet communication in an intelligent and adaptive manner. Both proportional fairness and congestion avoidance flow control treatments are examined. The proposed proxy server is designed to alleviate Internet congestion and apply priority and incentive based Internet usage and pricing.
