TLDR
This paper investigates the cordon-based second-best congestion-pricing problems on road networks, including optimal selection of both toll levels and toll locations, by a combined use of a binary genetic algorithm and a grid search method for simultaneous determination of the Toll cordon locations on the networks.Abstract:
This paper investigates the cordon-based second-best congestion-pricing problems on road networks, including optimal selection of both toll levels and toll locations. A road network is viewed as a directed graph and the cutset concept in graph theory is used to describe the mathematical properties of a toll cordon by examining the incidence matrix of the network. Maximization of social welfare is sought subject to the elastic-demand traffic equilibrium constraint. A mathematical programming model with mixed (integer and continuous) variables is formulated and solved by a combined use of a binary genetic algorithm and a grid search method for simultaneous determination of the toll levels and cordon locations on the networks. The model and algorithm are demonstrated with a numerical example.read more

Design and evaluation of road pricing: state-of-the-art and methodological advances
Theodore Tsekeris,Stefan Voβ +1 more
TL;DR: The crucial role of the joint consideration of pricing strategies with optimal capacity provision and several network management measures is manifested and an integrated evaluation framework is suggested to incorporate a wide range of road pricing impacts into the scheme design process.

Optimal design of autonomous vehicle zones in transportation networks
TL;DR: A novel network equilibrium model is proposed that is a mixed-integer bi-level programming model to optimize the deployment plan of AV zones to improve throughput and hopefully improve the performance of the whole network.

Preliminary Results of the London Congestion Charging Scheme
Georgina Santos,Blake Shaffer +1 more
TL;DR: The London Congestion Charging Scheme (LCCS) as mentioned in this paper was the first scheme to charge for car travel in London, which was implemented in 2003 and was shown to reduce congestion by 30% in the first year.

Congestion pricing on a road network: A study using the dynamic equilibrium simulator METROPOLIS
TL;DR: This paper analyzes some road pricing schemes using the dynamic network simulator METROPOLIS: a tool that treats endogenously departure-time decisions as well as mode and route choices of individual travelers, and shows the superiority of step tolls over flat tolls.

The Theory and Measurement of Private and Social Cost of Highway Congestion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the theory of marginal cost pricing to the services of the highways in the United States and find that "efficient prices" are generally much higher than present levels.
