Effectiveness and acceptability of congestion pricing
Urban congestion is a pervasive and growing problem in developed and developing countries. The lack of excludability for scarce urban space, specifically roads and parking spaces, creates a common resource problem yielding a congestion externality that generates many external costs. Marginal social …

Development and test of dynamic congestion pricing model
Dynamic congestion pricing is an approach to control the traffic flow on the network by setting variable tolls that are adjusted with time based on the traffic condition. Different models have been developed and tested in the past. However, most of these models are based on deterministic network …

Congestion pricing : policy dimensions, public rejection and impacts
… related contributions to the broad literature on congestion pricing. First, it examines three policy dimensions that underlie pricing: the economic arguments that motivate it, the technological options that enable it, and the equity concerns raised by its implementation. The thesis unites these …

Marginal cost congestion pricing under approximate equilibrium conditions
Thesis (S.B. and M.Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 1998.

Dynamic traffic congestion pricing mechanism with user-centric considerations
… a novel mechanism called User-Centric Dynamic Pricing (UCDP) based on recent advances in algorithmic mechanism design. The mechanism allows for congestion-free traffic in general road networks with heterogeneous users, while satisfying each user's travel preference. The mechanism first informs …

Congestion Pricing: Moving from Equity Analysis to Transportation Justice
Urban traffic congestion poses challenges to American cities in the form of lost time, economic costs, increased accidents, air pollution, and barriers to mobility. Congestion pricing has the potential to be part of the solution yet also raises a number of concerns about whether pricing a public …

Towards understanding the impacts of congestion pricing on urban trucking
… group in the past and must evaluate new congestion alleviation policies with respect to regional economic and social goals. Since urban areas are limited in infrastructure expansion and travel demand continues to rise, congestion pricing is a potentially compelling policy alternative. …

Political obstacles to adopting congestion pricing in New York City
… for the city. A centerpiece of the plan was a congestion-pricing proposal for the downtown core in Manhattan. The proposal had the backing of key political figures, federal funding, and broad popular support, yet in failed to clear the state assembly without even getting a vote. The failure of …

Design and Evaluation of Urban Congestion Pricing Policies with Microsimulation of Passenger and Freight
… and increasing mobility demand, urban traffic congestion has been growing. The contribution of urban freight to congestion has also been increasing due to surging e-commerce demand. Congestion pricing is effective for urban congestion mitigation, yet knowledge about its impacts on the freight …

Dynamic Travel Demand Management Strategies: Dynamic Congestion Pricing and Highway Space Inventory Control System
… static in nature. For example, in the case of congestion pricing, the toll schedules are previously set and are implemented on a daily basis. The amount of toll does not vary dynamically, with time of day and level of traffic on the highway (though the peak period tolls are different from the …

Behavioral Responses to Congestion Pricing in New York City: Mode Shift, Preference Change, and Effect Persistence
… the behavioral impacts of New York City’s congestion pricing policy on weekday peak-hour travel into the pricing zone. Using a two-stage Bayesian Multinomial Logit framework applied to monthly aggregate mobility data, the study disentangles underlying preference shifts from observed mode …

Framework for a lottery-based incentive scheme and its influence on commuting behaviors : an MIT case study
Congestion pricing has been widely regarded as the most effective technique used to manage travel demand. Since congestion pricing is about charging road users to internalize the external cost induced by their travels, there have been concerns about the social equity issues it raises and the …

Essays on the economics of urban transportation
… includes three papers exploring urban traffic congestion and the interplay between urban commuting and economic activity in developing countries. The first paper studies the impact of peak-hour road congestion pricing on commuter welfare, using a field experiment and GPS-based data collection …

Market-based airport demand management : theory, model and applications
… airports have led to increasing air traffic congestion. In particular, the scarcity of airside (take-off and landing) capacity at these airports has not been appropriately priced, leading to excessive demand as in the Tragedy of the Commons. Congestion pricing, as a classical economic …

Policies for parking pricing derived from a queueing perspective
… a significant fraction of measured traffic congestion. The solution to this problem is to reduce the total traffic volume including cruising traffic by implementing a congestion pricing scheme: the imposition of a usage fee on a limited-capacity resource during times of high demand. We …
