Optimal Implementation-path of Road Pricing Schemes with Time-dependent Model
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes an optimisation algorithm for designing an optimal implementation path for a charging cordon scheme. The main incentive for time-dependent design is public acceptability issue. A simple equilibrium based time-dependent model is defined. Different patterns of the implementation path are investigated including (i) evolution of a single cordon, (ii) single cordon and additional screenlines, and (ii) inner cordon and gradual introduction of outer cordon. The optimisation algorithm developed is based on the idea of Genetics Algorithm (GA). The algorithm is tested with a network of the Edinburgh city in UK.

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...
متن کاملDynamic congestion pricing based on user-optimal stochastic learning models
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 کاملJoint pricing, inventory, and preservation decisions for deteriorating items with stochastic demand and promotional efforts
This study models a joint pricing, inventory, and preservation decision-making problem for deteriorating items subject to stochastic demand and promotional effort. The generalized price-dependent stochastic demand, time proportional deterioration, and partial backlogging rates are used to model the inventory system. The objective is to find the optimal pricing, replenishment, and preservation t...
متن کاملA New Inventory Model for Deteriorating Items with Price-dependent Demand, Time-value of money, and Shortages
This paper presents a discounted cash-flow approach to an inventory model for deteriorating items with the 
two-parameter Weibull distribution. According to our proposed model, two shortages are considered: back-orders and lost-sales, 
in which the back-order rate is a varying function of the time when the shortage happens. In general, the demand rate is a linear function of the selling p...
متن کاملToll Competition in Transport Networks
Road pricing has received increasing attention over the past decades, both in the academic literature and in transport policy circles. Undoubtedly, this is motivated on the one hand by the increasing need for pricing as an effective instrument to curb growing transport-related problems such as congestion and emissions, and on the other by technical advances that make the implementation of road ...
