چکیده
We study a robust toll pricing problem where toll setters and users have different level of information when taking their decisions. Toll setters do not have full information on the costs of the network and rely on historical information when determining toll rates, whereas users decide on the path to use from origin to destination knowing toll rates and having, in addition, more accurate traffic data. In this work, we first consider a single origin-destination parallel network and ∗A preliminary version of this work has appeared in Proceedings of ATMOS’2016 with title Pricing toll roads under uncertainty. †Email: [email protected]; Corresponding author ‡Email: [email protected]; The work of this author is supported by the EPSRC grant with reference EP/P022553/1 §Email: [email protected]; ¶Email: [email protected];

Robust toll pricing: A novel approach
We study a robust toll pricing problem where toll setters and users have different level of information when taking their decisions. Toll setters do not have full information on the costs of the network and rely on historical information when determining toll rates, whereas users decide on the path to use from origin to destination knowing toll rates and having, in addition, more accurate traff...
متن کاملRobust Tolling Schemes for High-Occupancy/Toll (HOT) Facilities Under Variable Demand
High-Occupancy/Toll (HOT) lanes have become an increasingly prevalent form of congestion management pricing in the U.S. over the past few decades. The success of a HOT facility is dependent on the pricing scheme implemented, which determines the utilization of the HOT lane, and the corresponding congestion relief on the parallel general-purpose (GP) lanes. An additional complexity in determinin...
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 کاملPricing Toll Roads under Uncertainty
We study the toll pricing problem when the non-toll costs on the network are not fixed and can vary over time. We assume that users who take their decisions, after the tolls are fixed, have full information of all costs before making their decision. Toll-setter, on the other hand, do not have any information of the future costs on the network. The only information toll-setter have is historical...
متن کاملToll pricing framework under logit-based stochastic user equilibrium constraints
This paper addresses the toll pricing framework for the first-best pricing with logit-based stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) constraints. The first-best pricing is usually known as marginal-cost toll, which can be obtained by solving a traffic assignment problem based on the marginal cost functions. The marginal-cost toll, however, has rarely been implemented in practice, because it requires e...
