We study transportation networks controlled by dynamic feedback tolls. focus on a multiscale model, whereby the dynamics of traffic flows are intertwined with those routing choices. The latter influenced current state network as well tolls in system planner. prove that class decentralized monotone flow-dependent allows for globally stabilizing around generalized Wardrop equilibrium. In particul...

One of the main goals in transportation planning is to achieve solutions for two classical problems, the traffic assignment and toll pricing problems. The traffic assignment problem aims to minimize total travel delay among all travelers. Based on data derived from the first problem, the toll pricing problem determines the set of tolls and corresponding tariffs that would collectively benefit a...

In this paper we evaluate and compare long-run economic effects of six road-pricing schemes aimed at internalizing social costs of transportation. In order to conduct this analysis, we employ a spatially disaggregated general equilibrium model of a regional economy that incorporates decisions of residents, firms, and developers, integrated with a spatially-disaggregated strategic transportation...

We give a model for the description of an urban transportation network and we consider the related optimization problem which consists in finding the desing of the network which has the best transportation performances. This will be done by introducing, for every admissible network, a suitable metric space with a distance that inserted into the Monge-Kantorovich cost functional provides the cri...

The transportation system comprises many sub-systems often characterized by the mode of transport involve, the geographical nature of its location or the types of transportation activity engaged upon. This article examines how economists view the transportation system and looks at some of the key concepts that they deploy in their analyses. The network nature of transportation systems generates...

Uniform spatial pricing means that a firm delivers its product to any customer at a fixed price, independent of location. Economic theory explains the use of uniform pricing by the added profit generated by absorbing freight charges of distant customers. I extend this insight by demonstrating that when demand elasticity and transportation cost are positively enough correlated, uniform pricing g...
