Solving Congestion Toll Pricing Models

چکیده
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 tolls collected, minimizing the number of toll booths and constraining net tolls collected to be zero. We illustrate with an example and report on our computational experience with the Stockholm network. 1.

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 کاملComputational Methods for Congestion Toll Pricing Models
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 com...
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 کاملVariational inequality model for cordon-based congestion pricing under side constrained stochastic user equilibrium conditions
A major objective of the practical implemented cordon-based congestion pricing schemes is to maintain the traffic conditions within the cordon area, which is rarely considered in most of the existing studies. Thus, this paper addresses the optimal toll charge pattern that can restrict the total inbound flow of each cordon to a predetermined threshold. The toll charges on all the entry links of ...
