  2. 1. Aspects of Static Multi-Class Traffic equilibria under Congestion Pricing

    Author : Per Olov Lindberg; Lars-Göran Mattsson; David Watling; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; traffic; congestion pricing; equilibria; marginal social cost; Other civil engineering and architecture; Övrig samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : Congestion charging is a now accepted means of influencing traffic to behave in a more socio-economic optimal way, like e.g. in the Stockholm project. Already early work, in the 1920’s, showed that road use can be inefficient due externalities, i. READ MORE

  4. 2. Implementing Road Pricing : Standards, Institutions, Costs, and Public Acceptance

    Author : Carl J. Hamilton; Jonas Eliasson; Robert Lindsey; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Much has been researched and written about road pricing, and especially how it affects traffic flow, congestion, the environment, and social welfare in general. This doctoral thesis analyses the implementation of road user charges rather than its effects. The dissertation consists of five separate papers, each addressing a subset of the topic. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modelling and Appraisal in Congested Transport Networks

    Author : Jens West; Maria Börjesson; Oded Cats; Leonid Engelsson; Giulio Cantarella; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transport modelling; Transit Assignment; Appraisal; Congestion; Crowding; Cost-benefit analysis; Value of time; Congestion charge; Dynamic traffic assignment; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : Appraisal methodologies for congestion mitigation projects are relatively less well developed compared to methodologies for projects reducing free flow travel times. For instance, static assignment models are incapable of representing the build-up and dissipation of traffic queues, or capturing the experienced crowding caused by uneven on-board passenger loads.

  6. 4. Towards an efficient use of infrastructure and the built environment : Essays in transport and housing economics

    Author : Lina Jonsson; Fastighetsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Hedonic pricing; Noise; Railway traffic; Road traffic; Congestion pricing; Acceptability; Road user charging; Political Economy; Railway; Marginal cost; Accident probability; Level crossings; Housing Economics; Property tax;

    Abstract : All four papers in the thesis share a common theme: how to achieve an efficient use of infrastructure and the built environment. In the presence of externalities, pricing according to the (short-run) marginal cost is one answer on how this can be achieved and the first two papers estimates parts of the marginal cost of traffic.

  7. 5. Optimization Approaches for Design of Congestion Pricing Schemes

    Author : Joakim Ekström; Jan Lundgren; Richard Connors; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In recent years, there has been a growing interest in congestion pricing as a tool for solving traffic congestion problems in urban areas. However, the transportation system is complex and to design a congestion pricing scheme, i.e. to decide where and how much to charge the road users, is not trivial. READ MORE
