The Bilevel Road Pricing Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a bilevel road pricing problem. The lower level models a traffic assignment problem, whereas the upper level represents a toll problem which has impact on the distribution of the users on the network. We investigate the structure of this problem and consider a special lower level objective function. We show that a solution algorithm [10] can be applied to the optimal value reformulation of the bilevel programming problem using an outer approximation of the feasible set of the former problem. Furthermore, we formulate optimality conditions and show which real-life transport problems fit into this framework and can be solved using the proposed technique.

MULTI-OBJECTIVE ROAD PRICING: A Cooperative and Competitive Bilevel Optimization Approach
Costs associated with traffic externalities such as congestion, air pollution, noise, safety, etcetera are becoming unbearable. The Braess paradox shows that combating congestion by adding infrastructure may not improve traffic conditions, and geographical and/or financial constraints may not allow infrastructure expansion. Road pricing presents an alternative to combat traffic externalities. T...

متن کاملAdvanced OR and AI Methods in Transportation JOINT PRICING AND NETWORK CAPACITY SETTING PROBLEM
We consider the problem of jointly determining installed capacity levels and associated tariffs on the arcs of a multicommodity transportation network. We model this situation as a joint pricing and network capacity setting problem. Capacities are available at discrete, non uniform levels. This problem is first formulated as a mixed integer bilevel program. Next, we develop an algorithmic frame...
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...
