The applying of simplified schemes, such as cordon pricing, as second-best solution to the toll network design problem is investigated here in the context of multiclass traffic assignment on multimodal networks. To this end a suitable equilibrium model has been developed, together with an efficient algorithm capable of simulating large scale networks in quite reasonable computer time. This mode...

A 2-year study was conducted to evaluate ecophysiological characteristics and yield±quality performance of cv. `̀ Aglianico'' (Vitis vinifera L.) grapevines trained to three different trellises at the same intrarow vine spacing and bud load per meter of row length. Bilateral guyot (BG) showed the lowest vine capacity and bilateral spur-pruned cordon (BSPC), with a vertical shoot positioning had ...

It has benefited from the comments of Brian Barry, Joshua Cohen, John Ferejohn, Paul Seabright, and Ian Shapiro. Research support from the Beijer International Institute of Ecological Economics, Stockholm, is gratefully acknowledged. The paper is forthcomin...

The conference was organised in order to share experience in the design and implementation of electronic road charging systems. One of the objectives was to make this experience available to governments considering introducing new charging systems. The heavy vehicle fees of Germany, Austria and Switzerland were reviewed together with the London and Stockholm cordon charge systems. Presentations...
