چکیده

This paper is concerned with finding first-best tolls in static transportation networks with day-to-day variation in network capacity, as accounted for by changes in the volume-delay function. The key question in addressing this problem is that of information, namely, which agents have access to what information when making decisions. In this work, travelers are assumed to be either fully informed about network conditions before embarking on travel, or having no information except the probability distributions; likewise, the network manager (toll-setter) is either able to vary tolls in response to realized network conditions, or must apply the same tolls every day. Further, travelers’ preference for reliable travel is accounted for, representing risk aversion in the face of uncertainty. For each of the scenarios implied by combinations of these assumptions, we present methods to determine system-optimal link prices. A demonstration is provided, using the Sioux Falls test network, suggesting that attempts to incorporate uncertainty into nonresponsive tolls involve significantly

A joint pricing-network design model for a resilient closed-loop supply chain under quantity discount

In this paper, a novel resilient multi-echelon closed-loop location-allocation-inventory problem (RMCLIP) is addressed that optimizes strategic and tactical decisions simultaneously. In order to represent the purchasing cost of raw material from the supplier, a pricing model under quantity discounts is employed in the closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). Considering the capability of returning the ...

Renewable Electric Energy Integration: Quantifying the Value of Design of Markets for International Transmission Capacity

Integrating large quantities of supply‐driven renewable electricity generation remains a political and operational challenge. One of the main obstacles in Europe to installing at least 200 GWs of power from variable renewable sources is how to deal with the insufficient network capacity and the congestion that will result from new flow patterns. We model the current methodology for contr...
