A number of factors influence the efficiency, productivity, and welfare of transportation networks. Travel demand, user costs, and facility supply costs equili-brate on various time scales under a set of pricing (taxes and tolls), investment and ownership policies. Two types of equilibria exist in a transportation network, short-run traffic equilibrium and long-run supply-demand equilibrium. Th...

The focus of this paper is short-term policy options to address greenhouse gas emissions from personal automobiles. Primary policies considered include gasoline taxes, carbon taxes, a carbon cap-andtrade program, cost-shifting initiatives, and a pay-at-thepump auto insurance scheme are examined closely. Pay-at-the-pump auto insurance is recommended on the basis of cost effectiveness, equity, pu...

Various indicators are used to qualify the performance of intermodal transportation systems. Some of these are found in public documents, e.g., annual company reports, usually providing global measures such as total flow volumes, profits, and share values. While of great interest, such measures are not sufficient to support a fine analysis of different operation strategies, commercial policies,...

Several real problems in telecommunication, transportation, and distribution industries can be well analyzed by network flow models. In revenue management, pricing plays a primary role which increases the profit generated from a limited supply of assets. Pricing decision directly affects the amount of service or product demand. Hence, in traditional maximum flow problem, we assume that the dema...

The purpose of the paper is to present a step-by-step development of the transportation optimization model with random parameters, network design variables and with pricing. The well-known deterministic linear transportation model with network design 0-1 variables is shortly discussed and it is extended in two separate ways. Firstly, randomness is modeled by so-called here-and-now approach and ...

Technological advances are bringing connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) to the everevolving transportation system. Anticipating the public acceptance and adoption of these technologies is important. A recent internet-based survey was conducted polling 347 Austinites to understand their opinions on smart-car technologies and strategies. Ordered-probit and other model results indicate that r...

The surge of road pricing projects in the U.S. and around the globe over the past fifteen years has been enabled by a set of new communication and transportation technologies. There is currently a wide array of technical configurations ranging from systems based on “tried and true” shortrange radio communications to experimental systems relying on global positioning satellites. These technologi...
