A Comparison Analysis on Car User Decision When Faced with Different Congestion Pricing Policy (Case Study: Jakarta Metropolitan Area)

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the car user’s decision in their mode choice when faced with two different congestion pricing, namely Road Pricing (RP) and Parking Pricing (P2) policy scheme. The comparison analysis is conducted through the developed binomial logit model both for RP and P2 policy schemes. Data is collected by utilizing a stated preference survey, where the car user is asked their preference towards the mode choice on a given set of price and timesaving combination for both policies. Then the utility function for each policy is established by conducting some statistical procedures to have a feasible and reasonable model. Having set the utility functions, the validity test is carried out to the developed model using a different set of data from the survey. Further analysis is done to select the model that satisfies the statistical feasibility and the validity threshold number. Comparison to both different choice models yields different decisions represented in the form of shifting mode percentages. The research results show that the RP policy scheme tends to shift the car user higher than the P2 policy scheme at the same total additional charging fare.

Examining Parking Choices of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

“…As to their travel implications, the implementation of parking charges might reduce car travel by 10% to 30%, depending on the type of journey, the type of users affected, and the availability of alternative transport choices and parking. Some alternatives to parking prices as means to improve the traffic conditions, such as “congestion pricing,” were considered by Feldman et al ( 22 ) and Alvinsyah and Fathurrizqi ( 23 ).…”
