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...

Traffic congestion and road accidents are two external costs of transport and the reduction of their impacts is often one of the primary objectives for transport policy makers. The relationship between traffic congestion and road accidents however is not apparent and less studied. It is speculated that there may be an inverse relationship between traffic congestion and road accidents, and as su...

rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. in the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. with traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. four s...

The IETF’s standard congestion control schemes have been widely shown to be inadequate for various environments (e.g., high-speed networks). Recent research has yielded many alternate congestion control schemes that significantly differ from the IETF’s congestion control principles. Using these new congestion control schemes in the global Internet has possible ramifications to both the traffic ...
