This article introduces the contributions of this special issue on modelling of urban road pricing and its implementation. The issue focuses on the design of urban road pricing schemes, and their spatial and temporal impacts, using quantitative transport (and land use) models. The policy implications of road pricing, including welfare and equity aspects, are studied for Paris, Brussels and Oslo using state of the art planning models. The issue is completed with a study of public acceptability and the upcoming road-pricing trial in Stockholm, and a review paper on the history of thought and future prospects of road pricing.

“…Toll roads change travelers' driving behavior regarding route choice, mode choice, departure time, trip-making decision, etc. Through the alleviation of traffic congestion, tolling helps to lower fuel consumption and vehicular emissions (Ramjerdi, Minken, & Østmoe, 2004;Santos & Newbery, 2001;Waersted, 2005).…”

Evaluating the Impacts of Time-of-Day Tolling on Indiana Roadways

In recent decades, several agencies have implemented tolls on their highway, bridge, or tunnel infrastructure for purposes that include mitigation and revenue generation. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) sought to investigate the feasibility of time-of-day tolling at a specific section of Indiana's highways, and therefore commissioned this research study. Recognizing that traditional ex ante methods of tolling evaluation such as surveys and public hearings are time intensive and costly, this project developed a simulation package to measure the expected impacts of TOD tolling in terms of revenue, travel delay, and welfare. The report developed an analytical model and accompanying software tool (a TOD tolling analysis pack) to capture the relationship between the time-of-day toll and route choice, and to evaluate quickly, the impacts of various TOD tolling scenarios. The research products help the analyst to easily visualize traffic flows on roadways and to estimate the revenue, monetary savings, travel times, speeds, vehicle hours of travel, vehicle miles of travel, and welfare in response to different scenarios. The TOD tolling analysis pack reduces drastically, the time and effort in evaluating proposed TOD tolling initiatives for the future. The visualization features illustrate traffic diversions due to tolling implementation and display the most impacted road segments. Further, the TOD tolling analysis pack can be integrated seamlessly with INDOT's existing TransCAD models and with Google Maps to provide users with the capability of acquiring additional pertinent information on the study area.

“…Norway experimented with cordon tolling, though with little impact on congestion because the stated objective of the policy was to raise transportation revenue rather than deter congestion (e.g., Tretvick 2003, Ramjerdi et al 2004. On the other hand, congestion pricing has been given a large boost following its relatively successful implementation in London.…”

No vemb er 2008 RF F D P 0 8-35 Pricing Urban Congestion I a n W. H. P a r r y Abstract This paper reviews literature on the optimal design of pricing policies to reduce urban automobile congestion. The implications of a range of complicating factors are considered, such as traffic bottlenecks, constraints on which roads and freeway lanes in the road network can be priced, driver heterogeneity, private toll operators, other externalities besides congestion, and interactions between congestion taxes and the broader fiscal system. We also briefly discuss the incidence of congestion taxes and experience with this policy in the United States and elsewhere. Although the economics literature on congestion pricing has advanced considerably over the last 20 years, research is still needed on the empirical measurement of second-best efficient tolls for urban centers and whether alternative design features have substantial implications for efficiency. More research is also needed on the design of schemes to promote feasibility by compensating adversely affected groups with minimal loss in economic efficiency.
