In considering the problem of environmental pollution, a bi-level programming model on the congestion pricing problem with multi-roads is proposed. The environmental pollution problem is described by the vehicle exhaust emission. The upper problem is to minimize the environmental pollution, and maximize the origin-destination (O-D) demand. The lower problem is a user equilibrium problem under elastic demand. This paper introduces a step acceleration algorithm to solve the model. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the applications of the proposed model and algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
