Evaluating value-pricing projects with both scheduling and route choices
Article Abstract:
Recent studies conducted on value-pricing projects by simulating scheduling and route choice indicate that tolled lanes newly constructed or converted from existing free lanes, allowed individual to travel closer to their preferred schedules without clustering at the peak of travel. The value pricing projects were found to produce consistently larger aggregate benefits compared to conventional road expansion policies where the tolls vary to control the volume below a specified level of capacity.

Optimal pricing of transport externalities in an international environment: some empirical results based on a numerical optimization model
Article Abstract:
A large fraction of the externalities on the national transport network is due to international and pure transit traffic and the existence of these flows implies a potential for tax exporting behavior by individual countries. To determine optimal policies, a numerical optimization model is used for a federation consisting of two asymmetric countries, Belgium and the rest of Europe.
