Congestion pricing can be an efficient instrument to internalize the congestion externality and reduce traffic-related problems. However, commuters' acceptability, especially is often a barrier that prevents its implementation. The acceptability of by Asian commuters has not been studied much, except for cases Singapore Hong Kong. In present study, comprehensive approach identify key attributes...

In the Internet, the current flat-fee pricing scheme is not suitable to prevent congestion situations. Therefore, pricing is likely to be changed in the future, such that users are charged according to the resources they consume – a usage-based pricing scheme. Because of the heterogeneous network infrastructure, a uniform pricing mechanism must provide for localized pricing policies. It is nece...

Congestion in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can lead to buffer overflow, resource waste and delay or loss of critical information from the sensors. In this paper, we propose the Priority-based Coverage-aware Congestion Control (PCC) algorithm which is distributed, priority-distinct, and fair. PCC provides higher priority to packets with event information in which the sink is more interested. ...

The congestion pricing has been discussed as a practical tool for traffic management on urban transport networks. The traffic congestion is defined as an external diseconomy on the network in transport economics. It has been proposed that the congestion pricing would be used to reduce the traffic on the network. This paper investigates the cordon-based second-best congestion-pricing problems on...

The economic analysis of the Internet has been paid more and more attentions for optimizing the Internet resource utilization and controlling network congestion. A respectable number of attempts have been made to improve our understanding of the Internet as an economic system. We will then be able to provide adequate quality of service (QoS) to Internet users. By choosing an appropriate pricing...

We derive a price formation mechanism to maximize social welfare for a pipeline network that delivers natural gas from suppliers to consumers. The system is modeled as a metric graph subject to physical balance laws for steadystate hydraulic flow on edges and mass balance at nodes. The pricing mechanism incorporates engineering constraints on local pressures and energy applied by gas compressor...
